Meet Chris Lathbury

NMLS ID: 1219679

I began my career as a private mortgage professional in 2006, and in 2017 shifted toward providing financing in a broader capacity, including private residential lending. Based in Charleston—where I was born and raised—my work is grounded in a strong understanding of the local market and community.

After graduating from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, I returned home to begin a career focused on helping people navigate the challenges of borrowing money to achieve homeownership. That early experience continues to shape how I approach each deal today.

My background in technical sales prior to lending has been a major asset, allowing me to communicate clearly, structure deals effectively, and present financing options tailored to a wide range of needs and financial situations.

I’ve been married to my wife, Carla, since 1994—a relationship that started back in the sixth grade. We have a daughter, Sofia, who is preparing to head off to college. Outside of work, I enjoy woodworking, boating, and fishing, and most weekends are spent with close friends.

If you’re looking for alternatives to traditional mortgage lending, I welcome the opportunity to connect and help structure a solution that works.
