About Eric Laakso
WY - TAO Plenty of loan officers can get you into a mortgage. Eric Laakso wants you to understand the one you're getting into. For him, a first-time homebuyer shouldn't sign anything until they know why that loan is the right one for their whole financial picture, not just the monthly payment. That is the heart of how Eric works. He walks clients through the different loan programs, explains why one fits better than another, and keeps the lines open the whole way. Clients talk about his availability and his open communication, and about leaving the process knowing more than when they started. Eric would rather build a confident buyer than just close a loan. First-time homebuyers are his favorite people to work with, and he serves communities across Northeast Wyoming, including Gillette, Buffalo, Newcastle, Upton, Moorcroft, and Sheridan. In wide-open country where neighbors can be a long drive apart, a loan officer who picks up the phone and takes the time to explain things goes a long way. Eric has spent seven years in the mortgage industry, and that experience shows up in the way he can break down a complicated process into plain English. Away from the desk, Eric stays active with travel, workouts, and outdoor sports. His favorite company is his teenage son. At Citywide Home Mortgage, Eric's goal is simple: when you get your keys, you should understand exactly how you got them.
