Brayton was raised in the small village of Northport, Leelanau County, MI. He still calls Leelanau County home today. Growing up in a tight-knit community helped him understand the importance of putting others first and making meaningful and impactful lifelong connections. He started his lending career with a local community bank in 2020 and moved to Cardinal Financial, in 2022. Prior to mortgage loan origination, he spent the previous seven years in the insurance industry. Brayton graduated from Grand Valley State University with a B.B.A. in Finance and Marketing.

When he’s not working or volunteering, he enjoys spending time with his family and friends, working on cars, house projects, and enjoying beautiful Northern MI.

He would love the opportunity to assist with your lending needs!

Mortgage lending is more than selling loans. It’s about helping people achieve their homeownership goals. With over 25 years of experience, I have the knowledge and passion to help provide people with the perfect mortgage product. Whether you are buying your very first home or refinancing, I have a product specific to your needs.

As an active member of the community, I like to get to know my customers. Working with real people with personal goals and aspirations. I then can provide the best product with a seamless lending experience. I know how confusing and stressful home buying can be, so I’ve made it a mission of mine to make it easy and exciting for my customers. If it does become strenuous, I am here to answer any questions you may have.

Everyone has a story to tell. What they need is a Loan Originator who will listen, customize a loan to meet their needs, and guide them every step of the way.

I look forward to working with you!
