Welcome Our New Homes for Heroes Specialists

We are excited to introduce the newest members of our Homes for Heroes affiliate team!

I grew up in Philomath, Oregon and after graduating from High School I moved to Portland. I attended Portland State University where I received my B.S. In Economics.  During college I worked for UPS and shortly after graduation they sent me to Anchorage, AK for the next 8 years.  UPS then relocated me to Seattle WA, where I managed the air operations at Boeing Field.

After 18 years with UPS I decided to make a career change and came into the mortgage industry.  I have been in the mortgage industry for 10 years which has allowed me to spend more time with my family.  My wife and I have been married for 27 years and my daughter is 21 and my son is 23.

My favorite hobby is racing stock cars and Willamette Speedway.  I do this every Saturday from April through September.  I also enjoy RV’ing with my wife and spending holidays with my family.  I am also involved in the community through Rotary.

Christina Coffman grew up in Amherst, VA. She enjoys spending time with her two furchildren German Shepards, hiking, running, fishing…really anything outdoors & selling real estate of course. Christina has a passion for helping people, she says it was installed at birth from her father because he has always been the type to drop his own plan in a second to help someone else out. She has a high respect for heroes, their time and dedication to their professions to make our communities a better place. She loves America and is surrounded by former Marines (once a Marine, always a Marine..) through her fiance, brother, & brother in law. She hopes to make a difference in the community by not only selling Real Estate but giving the Heroes an opportunity to reap rewards where it is more than deserved, and to be apart of their home ownership process. She takes the relationships she creates through real estate very seriously and is excited to bring the Homes for Heroes program to local heroes!!

The Hennessey Mortgage Team’s primary objective is to educate and prepare clients to be the strongest buyers possible. We do this by investing the time upfront with every client to discuss individual financial situations, goals and options, and make sure to explain literally every step of the process so there are no surprises. As a proud affiliate of Homes For Heroes, The Hennessey Mortgage Team is not just able to provide our Nations Heroes with the highest level of customer service and support and closing guarantee, but we are also able to give back to our heroes by providing discounted lending fees that significantly reduce a Heroes out of pocket expense.

I’ve been helping law enforcement, firefighters/EMTs, veterans, teachers and healthcare workers with their home loan needs since 2005.

Watch my video testimonials. This includes a testimonial from a local firefighter and police officer.

I joined Homes For Heroes so I can directly help the people who protect, teach and heal our community. These heroes and their families make huge sacrifices for their work. Home For Heroes connects them with real estate professionals and other businesses that give them extra help with their housing needs.

I’m also an Instructor with Military Mortgage Boot Camp, an organization that educates real estate professionals and home sellers on the benefits of the VA Home Loan Program and the advantages of accepting a VA home loan offer. Also, I’m active with the Bay Area GORUCK community and Team Red, White and Blue – San Jose, CA chapter.

Building a career on helping people with their financial and real estate needs, I have had the opportunity to work with a diverse group of clients of whom I have learned a great deal from. From first homes to dream homes, being able to help my clients and their families attain their real estate goals is a great source of pride.

I am excited to be affiliated with Homes for Heroes and I am grateful for the opportunity to give back to those who serve others!
