About Ryan
I’m Ryan Hamel, a passionate mortgage originator with over three years of experience in the mortgage industry, following my previous role at Nexa Mortgage. Before diving into this field, I served as a financial advisor and a Marine Corps K9 handler, where I specialized in searching for explosives and narcotics. What drives me every day is my commitment to helping fellow military veterans, first responders, and the medical community—especially since I’m married to a nurse. I find immense joy in assisting people as they acquire their homes, where they will create lasting memories and nurture their families. I have a broad knowledge base in various mortgage products, including VA, FHA, and conventional loans, and I enjoy working with first-time homebuyers, investors, and flippers. Every client brings a unique story, and I love being part of their exciting journey to homeownership.
In addition to my professional life, I volunteer at my church as part of the security team, giving back to my community. Originally from Florida and now living in North Carolina, I cherish both the beach and the mountains. I’m passionate about staying healthy and active, having completed a half marathon and aiming for a full marathon soon. I love outdoor adventures like camping, hiking, climbing, and hunting. My beautiful wife, Lisa, and our three boys share my enthusiasm for the outdoors and playtime. As I often say, “Every home tells a story, and I’m here to help you write yours.” --- If you need any adjustments or additional information, feel free to ask!
