Thank you for stopping by and considering Simplify Mortgage for your purchase or refinance needs. Our company was founded by John Moran in Scottsdale, AZ with a straightforward goal – Provide mortgages that are easier and cost less.
Getting a mortgage doesn’t have to be that hard, but some companies won’t give up their complicated and outdated processes, so most have to suffer through “the way we’ve always done it.” No one can control of every aspect of home financing, but we simplify the things we can and reduce costs for you at the same time.
I grew up in northern Wisconsin and attended the University of Wisconsin (Go Badgers!). I’m thankful for the Midwestern outlook on life that my Wisconsin upbringing instilled in me.
After college I spent two years in New York, NY as a real estate agent in Manhattan. That was certainly an eye-opening experience for a young guy from the Midwest. I loved NY and everything it had to offer, but I soon found myself wanting a different way of life.
In 2001, I moved to Chicago, IL and began my mortgage career. After spending two wonderful years there, I decided to take advantage of the warmer weather and a reduced cost of living by moving to sunny Scottsdale, AZ.
The decision to move to Scottsdale in 2003 was one of those life moments you don’t appreciate as much as you should have at the time. I met my beautiful wife in Scottsdale and made a ton of lifetime connections. Fast forward to 2023 and we’ve decided to split time between Scottsdale, AZ and Lake Oswego, OR. This allows us the best of both worlds when the sun or the rain get to be a little too much.
In our free time, we like to go on quick weekend adventures, travel abroad, host friends and family (I’m the chef in the family) and visit my family in Telluride, CO.
