Tracy Hughes

Tracy Hughes

underwriter

Tracy has been around the lending industry her entire life. Her parents started in the mortgage business before she was born with Tracy joining the family business while attending Portland State University. After graduating with a Finance degree in 1998, Tracy entered the lending industry full time.

At 17 Tracy met a guy named Dustin while working as a cashier at Target...and the rest is history. Together they have three very active boys, and Tracy loves volunteering at their school and being involved in their sports.

At Northwest Mortgage Advisors Tracy is the head underwriter, underwriting most of the files coming through the door. Tracy goes above-and-beyond most underwriters by establishing a team environment and valuing communication above all else.

Janna Hilman

Janna Hilman

loan processor

Janna began her career in the lending industry as a Loan Officer Assistant and has worked her way up over the years to being an amazing loan processor.

A native Oregonian, Janna enjoys the outdoors, reading, the arts, and yes....even the rain! Janna has also been a volunteer for HIPPO since Junior High School. HIPP is a therapeutic horseback riding program dedicated to the enhancement of the physical, social, educational, and emotional abilities of individuals with special needs.

Janna and her husband Keegan are expecting their first child in the Summer of 2010 - a girl!

Mikal Mele

Mikal Mele

administrative assistant

Mikal grew up around the housing industry. Her dad is a custom home builder, her brother is a Realtor, a cousin in the title industry, and an uncle in property management. She graduated in 2010 from the University of Oregon with a double major in Sociology and Spanish, and joined Dustin's team 8 days later!

Mikal's interests are varied - from sports to the outdoors to fashion - and she enjoys spending time with friends and family. As Dustin's administrative assistant, Mikal is integral to the development of new systems, database management, and client interaction.

Beth Ross

Beth Ross

transaction coordinator

Beth graduated from Portland State University with a degree in Sociology, and was introduced to the lending industry from a client while working as a self-employed massage therapist.

An avid outdoor enthusiast, Beth's interests range from music (she plays the Tambura - an Indian instrument - in a small group with her husband), to hiking, canoeing, and gardening. Beth has lived in the Northwest for 30 years and between her and her husband they have three children - ages 19, 22, and 23.

Beth is the "Swiss Army Knife" for Dustin's team, handling the ins and outs of every transaction. Whether it's following up on documentation requests or handling the initial file, each transaction is made smoother because of Beth's involvement.
