Serving Oregon and Washington Clients

Welcome — I'm Stacy Schlesinger.
Serving Oregon & Washington Clients.

I’m so glad you’re here.

Whether you were referred by a past client, a trusted Realtor, a financial professional, or found me while searching for mortgage information online, thank you for taking the time to learn more about me.

For more than 25 years, I’ve helped individuals and families throughout Oregon and Washington navigate one of the most important financial decisions of their lives. As the Owner and President of Platinum Lending Solutions, I’ve personally assisted more than 2,000 clients with home purchases, refinancing, investment properties, and long-term financial strategies through homeownership.

I believe getting a mortgage should feel clear, not overwhelming.

My role isn’t just to find you a loan—it’s to help you understand your options, educate you throughout the process, and ensure you feel confident in every decision. I take pride in explaining not just what we’re doing, but why it makes sense for your financial goals today and in the future.

As an independent mortgage broker, I have access to a wide network of lenders, allowing me to compare loan programs and create customized solutions for each client. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, upgrading, refinancing, investing, or exploring options like reverse mortgages, my goal is always the same: to provide thoughtful guidance, clear communication, and a smooth, stress-free experience.

Much of my business comes from repeat clients and referrals, which I consider the greatest compliment. Building long-term relationships has always been more important to me than simply closing loans.

This website is an extension of that commitment. My goal is to provide trusted mortgage education, helpful resources, and insights into the Oregon and Washington housing markets so you can make informed decisions with confidence.

Whether you’re ready to move forward or just starting to explore your options, I hope you find this information helpful.

About Stacy Schlesinger

I’m the Owner and President of Platinum Lending Solutions, a locally owned mortgage brokerage proudly serving homebuyers and homeowners throughout Oregon and Washington. For more than 25 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping over 2,000 individuals and families achieve their homeownership goals through personalized mortgage strategies, honest advice, and exceptional service.

I believe a mortgage is more than just a loan—it’s one of the most important financial decisions you’ll ever make. That’s why my approach has always been centered on education, transparency, and helping my clients understand not only their options, but why one financing strategy may be a better fit than another.

As an independent mortgage broker, I have access to a wide network of trusted wholesale lenders, allowing me to compare a variety of loan programs, interest rates, and financing solutions. Every client has unique goals, and I take pride in developing mortgage strategies tailored to their specific needs rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.

Over the years, I’ve worked with first-time homebuyers, move-up buyers, luxury home purchasers, real estate investors, self-employed borrowers, and homeowners seeking to refinance or explore reverse mortgage solutions. Whether the transaction is straightforward or requires creative problem-solving, I’m committed to providing knowledgeable guidance, proactive communication, and a smooth experience from application through closing.

Much of my business comes from repeat clients and referrals, which I consider the greatest compliment I can receive. Building long-term relationships has always been more important to me than simply closing loans, and I’m honored that so many families continue to trust me with their mortgage needs year after year.

Beyond helping clients secure financing, I’m passionate about consumer education. Through this website, my goal is to provide reliable mortgage resources, practical homeownership advice, and insights into the Oregon and Washington housing markets so buyers and homeowners can make informed financial decisions with confidence.

When I’m not helping clients, you’ll usually find me traveling, playing tennis, staying active, or spending time with family and friends.

Thank you for visiting my website. I look forward to the opportunity to earn your trust and help you achieve your homeownership goals.

My Commitment to You

When you choose to work with me, you’re not just choosing someone to help you secure a mortgage—you’re choosing someone who is committed to helping you make one of the most important financial decisions of your life with confidence.

For more than 25 years, I’ve dedicated my career to helping homebuyers and homeowners throughout Oregon and Washington navigate the mortgage process with clarity, honesty, and personalized guidance. As the Owner and President of Platinum Lending Solutions, I’ve personally helped more than 2,000 individuals and families achieve their homeownership goals, and I never lose sight of the responsibility that comes with earning a client’s trust.

No two borrowers are alike, which is why I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all lending. I take the time to understand your financial goals, explain your options in plain language, answer your questions, and develop a financing strategy that’s designed specifically for your situation. Whether you’re purchasing your first home, refinancing, building a real estate portfolio, or planning for retirement with a reverse mortgage, my advice is always centered around what aligns with your goals.

I’m naturally analytical and detail-oriented, and I believe those qualities make a meaningful difference for my clients. I enjoy evaluating loan options, identifying opportunities that others may overlook, and making sure every detail is handled with care. My goal is not simply to get your loan to the closing table—it’s to ensure you understand the “why” behind every recommendation so you can make informed financial decisions with confidence.

Communication is equally important. You can expect timely updates, honest answers, and a transparent process from beginning to end. I believe great service means being available when you need me, keeping you informed every step of the way, and making the mortgage process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

The majority of my business comes from repeat clients and referrals, and I consider that one of the greatest compliments I can receive. It’s a reflection of the relationships I’ve built over the years and the trust my clients place in me to care for their family, friends, and colleagues.

Whether we work together today or sometime in the future, my commitment remains the same: to provide knowledgeable guidance, exceptional service, and a mortgage experience built on integrity, education, and trust.
