About Us

Bob and Mary Willett – our goal is to provide our clients with outstanding service and an exceptional experience. We want to become your real estate professionals for life.  We work together, and like that, but Bob also has a strong following of Realtors® who believe he provides great service to their clients and Mary works with buyers who have already formed a relationship with another lender. Bob and Mary volunteer their time and share their expertise within the Realtor® community because it just makes good business sense. We’d love to help you with your next real estate transaction.

Mary Willett, Realtor® LYON Real Estate BRE # 01395007

I help people navigate the sometimes scary, always exciting and lately nerve racking process of buying or selling their home. Find me at (916) 715-0122 or [email protected]omes.net.

Let’s see what else . . . . hmmmmm

I expect to have fun with my client’s and hope they have fun with me. Along the way I can help, teach, support and guild you through the intricacies of the real estate transaction. Hey I made sure my SCUBA students were safe, I can keep you safe too. Making sure you are well supported and have all the information you need to make the best decisions when buying or selling a home. I have many years of sales, marketing and corporate negotiation experience and only want the best possible outcome for your real estate experience. So… If not a perfectly smooth transaction (is there such a thing?) at best, I can make sure yours is one where you understand and are confident at every step of the process.

Oh and I have a lot of extra training as well:

Bob Willett, Empire Home Loans, Senior Loan Officer – NMLS #238076/1839243; DRE# 00880266/02086593

I like to say that I’m more than a financial consultant I’m more like a counselor and educator. And I like those titles better. Find me at 916-485-7939 or [email protected] I can help you with your Sacramento Home Loan, Real Estate Home Purchase Loan and Real Estate Refinance Loan. Straight forward, honest and knowledgeable – that’s what my clients say, sometimes too honest when they don’t like what I have to say. I’ll give you home loan advice served up with a little bit of humor.

I’ve been at this home loan thing since the early 1980’s, weathered a few ups and downs in the housing industry, and actually still enjoy the business. I really was born an educator and I like helping people understand just how the industry works. But be prepared for a full answer to your question, I’ll want to make sure you get all the facts. I was an adjunct professor at San Joaquin Delta College, helped initiate the first mortgage banking certification program with the Mortgage Bankers of America and taught community outreach classes in Stockton and with the Sacramento Home Loan Counseling Center. I don’t have any trouble standing in front of a room of people. That’s why I got involved at the junior college level, teaching real estate classes for the Los Rios Community College District at three different locations in the Sacramento area. I also volunteered my time and was Board President for the Sacramento Home Loan Counseling Center, a board member and committee chair for several service and real estate organizations.

And I’m an active member of my profession, I served on the board of directors for the CaliforniaAssociation of Mortgage Professionals – Sacramento Chapter and am an approved instructor for the Sacramento Association of REALTORS®. I teach classes in Mortgage Licensing Preparation, Mortgage Licensing Exam Preparation, Mortgage License Renewal, Real Estate Sales License Renewal and Notary License Seminars for Duane Gomer Inc. Seminars. I’m a Senior Loan Officer at Empire Home Loans. Give me a call if you want straight forward, honest and knowledgeable service, and oh yea, a few laughs.

When it comes to home loans, I can truly help you make an educated decision.
