Step back from the edge.
Embarking on the home-buying process can feel like gazing into an abyss — but we prefer to think of it as preparing to skydive into your own personal American dream.
If you’re feeling anything less than a flutter of excitement right now…We’ve got you. This is nothing you can’t parachute right through with the right information and the right partner!
The Mortgage Classroom was born out of a belief that home buyers deserve to feel competent and confident during every step of this process, from the moment they fill out their mortgage application to the day they get the keys to their new home.
Since we got started in 2000, we’ve helped thousands of clients get their perfect mortgage with hands-on support and comprehensive education to help you understand the what and why of this process.
Oh, and we’ll get you into that loan, too.

Meet Tim Lamb
Our hands-on, communication-first approach tears down silos and builds a true team to serve our clients.
I’ve been in the mortgage biz for more than 20 years. I love helping people buy, build, and invest in real estate, whether it’s their first time or just “this time.” I often meet clients at their happiest: when they’re starting families or as they relocate for an amazing new job opportunity.
As a lifelong learner and educator, I enjoy helping my clients understand what’s happening throughout the process — and communicating constantly at every turn.
And we reach out proactively every week to keep everyone updated — eyes on the prize.
When I’m not working directly with you, I’m probably…
- Attending national and regional conferences, seminars, and trainings — nerd alert!
- Leading conferences and workshops to share my expertise and client service with fellow professionals
- Participating in service projects related to my personal and professional communities
I’m inspired every day by my wife, Trisha, and our two teenage sons, Gavyn and Owen. They’ve helped me understand the power of the dream of homeownership, and they motivate me every day to help other families make their dream a reality.
Our mortgage-ready roadmap
Hop in and follow our simple process — we’ve been down this road before.
Apply smart
At our first meeting, we’ll discuss your goals, go over your custom mortgage options report, and get you a pre-qualification letter to start shopping.
Buy smart
We’ll catch up weekly throughout the approval and closing process to answer your questions and keep everything going smoothly.
Stay smart
Once you’ve moved into your new home, we’ll stay in touch with the insights you need to be the smartest homeowner on the block.

Saved the day!
When our previous mortgage fell through a week before closing, Tim saved us! He quickly got us going on a new loan. He took care of us, answered every question, and got us a great rate at terms we were comfortable with.
Awesome!
I was a first-time home buyer, and Tim answered all my questions in a way I understood. He made sure I felt prepared and had all the information I needed to make the best decisions.
A constant communicator
Tim is always in contact to ensure you have the information you need, and he’s always looking for ways to save you money.
