With 21+ years of experience as a mortgage lender I am ready to help my customers as they pursue a mortgage for their first home or for the dream home for which they’ve been waiting. Helping customers find success in the mortgage market is something I thoroughly enjoy. My comprehensive understanding of all phases of the mortgage process, and knowledge of the many different loan types including Conventional, Variable, VA, FHA, RD, IHFA and construction loans enables me to find the right mortgage for the unique needs of my customers. I look forward to hearing from you, and to helping you as you purchase or refinance your home.

"Top notch professional, excellent communication and assists with community questions. Fastest home loan ever. Lisa is simply the best!”

"Lisa was an absolute pleasure to work with while financing our home purchase this summer. She was highly knowledgeable about different loan options and made an extra effort to ensure we qualified for program offered locally. She and her staff are professional and have an excellent system set up to ensure everyone is informed about the process and what/when different documents are needed. While I value face to face interactions, when life gets busy it’s wonderful to send up a statement from my cell phone! Finally, Lisa was very approachable and available to guide us and answer questions. Whether it was a text, email or answering my call there was never a time when I felt out of the loop and unsure what the next step was. Great communication from her end meant we closed without a hitch. I was actually surprised at how easy she made it all seem. I would absolutely recommend her and the team at MWB.”

We just got home from our new place, shuttling over some things, opening all the drawers and pre-move cleaning. Soo very very exciting! Hasn't sunk in yet we are homeowners. I cannot express how lucky we felt to connect with Lisa and how thankful we are for everything she did to move this along seamlessly. I’ll be in touch when things settle down but again, we appreciate Lisa soo much!”

"Our experience with Mountain West Bank’s loan originator, Lisa Garrison, has been a stress-free, positive and awesome journey! She went above and beyond the call of duty by handling issues that weren’t even her responsibility. She was prompt in answering questions and providing necessary information and documents at all hours of the day, weekends included, with patient cheerfulness. She was proactive in keeping in touch to see if we had any questions or concerns. Her efficiency and knowledge of her business was outstanding. If she didn’t know an answer, she knew who to contact to solve the problem. We felt like she was a family member taking care of her own family as well as a great friend!"

"We were under a huge time crunch and possibly running out of mortgage options. We were referred to Lisa Garrison from a realtor and now we consider Lisa our mortgage broker going forward. Lisa pushed our loan through in time to satisfy our time schedule. Any little or big questions that we had Lisa immediately would get back to us. I would say that her communication skills and her promptness in returning emails made our experience much less stressful. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone going through the mortgage process."
