“If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.”
– Henry Ford
At Homeowners Financial Group, the spirit of collaboration and teamwork fuels every achievement. For Lori Bryant, Transaction Coordinator at the Scottsdale, AZ loan production office, this quote couldn’t ring truer. Since joining the organization in March 2023, Lori has demonstrated resilience, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to her team, making her an indispensable member of the Coffey Team. Her exceptional contributions have earned her a place among the 2024 President’s Club recipients—a testament to her hard work and the impact she’s had on both her team and the clients she serves.
Joe Conner, Area Manager, reflects on Lori’s journey, “Lori’s growth this year has been so inspiring to watch. She stepped into a tough role and, despite the challenges, worked hard to master it and became a key part of The Coffey Team’s success. Lori’s dedication to helping both her teammates and borrowers really stands out—she brings a perfect mix of skill and genuine care to everything she does. We’re all so proud of her and excited to celebrate everything she’s accomplished!!”
Lori’s contributions shine even brighter when viewed within the context of the Coffey Team’s extraordinary year. Led by the remarkable Rachelle Coffey, who was recently recognized as the company’s Top Producer for Units and Volume in 2024, the team served over 202 families, funding an impressive $83,000,000. Their success is a reflection of the collective effort and the strong bonds they share. Clients and partners alike have been vocal in their praise for the Coffey Team’s exceptional service. Vicki C shares her experience, “From beginning to end Rachelle and her team excelled. We had another lender that drug my buyer on for weeks without giving them final approval or keeping them updated at all. It was like pulling teeth to get them to answer any questions or update. We turned the loan over to Rachelle, and within 24 hours we had approval and closed the deal in two weeks, which included an appraisal! If it can be done, Rachelle and her team will get it done! Highly recommend!” Bill Rogers, President & CEO, echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the team’s collaborative strength, “Rachelle also shows gratitude and acknowledges the team that surrounds her, including Amy Hall, Heidi Long, Lori Bryant, Sandra Turkanovic, Tonia Bergen, and Tiffany Sharp.”
For Lori, her work goes beyond managing documents and preparing loan applications—it’s about seeing every loan through to the finish line with precision and care. As Rachelle Coffey herself puts it, “Throughout my career, I’ve specialized in builder turn-down business, and I’ve been fortunate to build expertise in brokered loans. I’ve been doing this successfully for 20+ years and considered myself highly skilled in this area. Then I met Lori Bryant, and I have to say—she is a force to be reckoned with. Her passion, determination, and unmatched ability to see loans through to the finish line are truly inspiring. Lori, you are amazing, and I can’t imagine this team without you. Thank you for everything you bring to the table. Your impact doesn’t go unnoticed!”
Lori’s professionalism and attention to detail also resonate with the wholesale lender side. As Tim Wise, Area Sales Manager at theLender, shares, “Without a doubt one of the best broker processors we work with from the wholesale lender side. We LOVE working with Lori 😊.” From collecting and verifying documents to assisting borrowers with loan applications, Lori’s work is vital to the smooth operation of the Coffey Team. But beyond her technical skills, it’s her genuine care for people—whether clients, colleagues, or partners—that sets her apart. She approaches every task with empathy, ensuring that everyone she works with feels supported and valued.
Outside of work, Lori’s world revolves around her family and friends, cherishing every moment spent with them. She loves hanging out with her three favorite guys—her husband Mike, who also happens to be in the mortgage business, and their two sons, Aiden and Toren. Their home is filled with joy thanks to their two lovable rescue dogs, Jenny and Ladybug, who never fail to bring extra smiles to the family. Lori and her crew are big foodies, always exploring new restaurants together and making dining out a family tradition. When she’s not out and about, Lori enjoys hosting game nights with friends, where laughter and friendly competition are always on the menu. Her life outside of work is a perfect balance of love, connection, and fun!
As a President’s Club recipient, Lori will celebrate her achievements alongside her fellow honorees with a well-deserved trip to Charleston, South Carolina. Her story is a testament to the power of teamwork and the incredible results that follow when individuals come together to move forward. Congratulations, Lori! Your contributions inspire us all to continue striving for excellence and supporting one another along the way.
