Company adds a group of mortgage veterans
Churchill Mortgage has continued its Pacific Northwest expansion with the acquisition of Team Canales, a team of three women with over 40 years of collective mortgage experience.
Team Canales, founded by Katy Canales in 1998, is the latest addition to Churchill's growing team of nearly 150 mortgage professionals in the region. The Portland-headquartered company said that the acquisition would help grow its footprint in the PNW region, specifically throughout Oregon in Salem, Portland, Eugene, and Corvallis.
"Katy and her team have been deeply rooted in the Salem market for decades and have consistently demonstrated their credentials as industry leaders – not just from being able to help clients close on their mortgages, but by building strong communities through their deep care and compassion for others," said Kevin Hanna, president of the Churchill Mortgage Pacific Northwest Region.

Since launching its PNW division in 2019, Churchill has extended its single office in Portland to 24 locations across seven states. The lender also recently crossed $1 billion in annual loan volume, according to its release.
"Expanding our PNW footprint provides us with additional firepower to positively impact local communities by deploying resources that empower our customers to achieve the ultimate dream of debt-free homeownership," Hanna said. "The Canales team is a true embodiment of the Churchill Mortgage culture and values, making them a seamless transition into our family."
