ABOUT BUDDY
I was born and raised in Central Oregon, graduated in 1991 from Western Oregon State College, and got married the same year. My mortgage career began in 1998 and I have enjoyed helping families and real estate investors purchase the American dream ever since. My work is exciting and my clients bring joy to my life every day!
While I specialize in conventional, FHA, and USDA loans, I have a particular passion for guiding veterans along their path to homeownership with either a federal VA loan or an Oregon Department of Veterans' Affairs Loan.
Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my family! My wife and I enjoy embarking on new adventures, which mainly include traveling, eating great food, and hiking. I also thoroughly enjoy golfing, snow skiing, working out, and playing the guitar.
I am constantly learning, growing, and pursuing excellence to be the best I can be for every client that desires my help. If given the opportunity, I will use my years of knowledge and experience to help you pursue your homeownership dreams!
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
"I have done at least two mortgage/refinancing deals with Buddy Puckett and his team. He takes a holistic approach and asks the right questions to really get a person the right mortgage. I can't imagine doing a mortgage transaction without his counsel." - Maureen B., Google "Buddy was not only super welcoming but he also didn't need me to sign anything right away. I was shocked by this because all other mortgage companies before him had wanted me to sign all sorts of things before even looking at what I was qualified for. Buddy understands business very well and really strives to make a solid connection with you. Very happy to have him as a mortgage loaner." - Nelson A., Google "Buddy and team were awesome to work with. Super helpful and friendly...these people genuinely care about their clients and treat everyone with respect and professionalism." - Gary W., Google
