Chris Raven from Raven Home Loans in Central Oregon

The Broker Who Works for You

Chris has called Bend, Oregon home since 1992 and he wouldn’t wish to live anywhere else. He thrives on everything Bend has to offer—from downhill & skate skiing to mountain biking and yoga. (Oh, and river floats and concerts)... Whether he’s out in the mountains, building something in his workshop, or just relaxing at home with his two French bulldogs, Kermit and Cricket, he brings the same energy and dedication to his personal life that he does to his work.

Chris didn’t start in mortgage lending. He left a successful career in medical implants sales because he wanted a profession where he could help people make life-changing decisions along with a better work life balance. He found that mortgage lending offered an excellent match to his problem-solving skills, financial expertise, and desire to make a real impact.

Now, after more than a decade in the industry, he’s built a reputation for being:

  • Dependable – Clients know they can trust his guidance.

  • Strategic – He looks beyond the numbers to find the best path forward.

  • Community-Focused – A Rotary member for 13 years, Chris is dedicated to giving back—both locally and globally.

Beyond Mortgages – A Life in Bend, Oregon

Chris lives in Bend with his fiance and two boys, who keep him young and well-versed in Pokémon. He enjoys being outside and soaking up all the adventure that Central Oregon has to offer. He also operates his own Airbnb, loves woodworking (he even built his own backyard table), and is always looking for his next great read.

At the heart of it all, Chris is about building something meaningful—whether it’s a piece of furniture, a strong mortgage plan, or a lasting relationship with his clients.
