Steve Lemon
Loan Officer
To me, a home revolves around family and is the foundation of happiness. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer or looking to settle down, taking that first step to find the best loan option for you is important and should be treated as such.
Here at McLean Mortgage, we care about giving our clients the best possible experience. When I came out of retirement, I was drawn to McLean’s exceptional products, pricing, and control over the process—and, most of all, the incredible people that work here.
I’ve been in the mortgage industry for more than twenty years. I retired in 2012, but couldn’t stay away from the industry, so for the next eight years I flipped houses. However, my passion for being a loan advisor and talking with people drew me out of retirement. While I am looking forward to helping all those on their journey to homeownership, I am most excited to help self-employed people find their new home.
When I’m not helping my clients, I like to spend time with the Waxhaw Coffee Cruisers, an automobile club that raises money for multiple charities. These charities include Common Heart, Levine Children’s Hospital, and The Bridge to Recovery. Outside of this, I also support Tunnel to Towers.
Your journey home starts with McLean Mortgage—let’s explore your loan options together.
