Mortgage and real estate — one team. We handle the financing and the home so nothing falls through the cracks.
Most people juggle a lender and an agent who never talk to each other. At Olson Home Group — formerly Kristi Olson Loans — we handle both. Kristi is an independent mortgage broker through Barrett Financial Group and a licensed Realtor — and the team behind her makes sure every detail gets handled, from loan processing to the closing table.
Over 15+ years we've closed more than 1,000 mortgages. And because we shop 100+ wholesale lenders instead of selling one bank's shelf, we bring you the loan that actually fits — not just the one product a bank had to offer.
We've also personally invested in 50+ properties. That means when we sit down, you're getting advice from people who understand real estate as owners and investors, not only as lenders. Real-world numbers, not textbook ones.

15+ years, 1,000+ mortgages, 100+ 5-star reviews. Independent broker who shops 100+ lenders. Licensed in Arizona and Missouri. NMLS #1459928.
Keeps your loan file moving from application to closing. Every condition, every document, handled so you don't have to chase it.
Manages every deadline, document, and detail from contract to closing. Nothing slips through the cracks.
Shows homes, manages properties, and handles every renovation. From flips to rental maintenance, Randy is the boots on the ground.
We live and work right here in the White Mountains, serving them all — Show Low, Pinetop-Lakeside, Lakeside, Taylor, Heber-Overgaard, Springerville, and Eagar. This is home, and our clients are our neighbors. That changes how you do business.
Olson Home Group was built around two things we believe in. First, straight numbers. We'll tell you honestly whether a loan makes sense, whether now is the right time, and what the real costs are — even when the honest answer is "wait" or "not yet." Second, no pressure. Buying or refinancing a home is a big decision, and you should never feel pushed into it. Our job is to give you the options and our genuine recommendation, then let you decide.
Being a broker instead of a bank is our competitive advantage, and it's yours too. A bank's loan officer can only sell that bank's products. We shop 100+ lenders competing for your loan, which usually means a better rate, a faster close, and programs a single bank can't touch — like bank-statement loans for the self-employed and DSCR loans for investors.
Licensed in Arizona and Missouri, we'd be glad to help you find your right loan and your right home.
Real reviews from real neighbors across the White Mountains.
"Having her as both our realtor and mortgage broker made the entire home-buying process seamless and stress-free. It's rare to find someone who can handle both sides so efficiently, but Kristi exceeded every expectation."
"Kristi went above and beyond when she caught an error in our loan that would have cost us more than $3,000 — her attention to detail saved us a significant amount of money. We felt supported every step of the way."
"A big shout-out to Kristi Olson! We reached out to around 15 lenders and she came through for us. If you want a HELOC or need a mortgage loan, she's your gal."
