Steve Mahr's Bio

I started my career in the mortgage industry in 1995 because the idea of being able to help somebody purchase a home was a remarkable concept to me. As I dove into my career as a Loan Officer, I found I had a natural knack for optimizing the loan process. Companies caught on to my talents, leading to my quick move into management roles. In about 2012, I took a bit of a step back to focus on my children and other life changes, diving back in more heavily into the field at the end of 2013.

I am enthusiastic about educating and coaching others to succeed. As part of my calling to teach and coach, I’ve taught infants to as aged as 64 years old to swim, coached the first-time swimmer and collegiate athlete, and consulted with Olympians.

My passion for educating, coaching, and helping people achieve the dream of homeownership is why I was thrilled to accept the dual role of coach/trainer and Sr. Loan Officer at Big Valley Mortgage. I am a forensic thinker and am always diving deep into topics to educate and guide those I work with.

I am fortunate enough to have received a second chance at love and have married my high school sweetheart. We love to travel and have been to several states such as Minnesota, Nebraska, Texas, Washington, Oregon, and Arizona to visit family. We also love vacationing in places like Maui and Costa Rica. I keep my fingers in the water with swimming and am personally working toward some longer, open water swims in the future.
