Darby Lamping is a faith-filled wife, mother, and mentor whose life reflects equal parts grit, grace, and purpose. She and her husband, Zach, are raising two boys, Maysun and Ryder, whose laughter and muddy boots keep their home full of life and God’s goodness.
Rooted in the Pacific Northwest, Darby understands what “home” truly means—it’s not just walls and a roof; it’s where love gathers, faith grows, and family feels secure. Whether she’s cheering from the sidelines at a Bowmen football game, helping with livestock in the barn, or hitting the road alongside Zach for Hot Shot Transport, her heart always circles back to one mission: to serve others well and build a life filled with meaning.
Before her mortgage career, Darby worked in engineering—a background that built her love for systems, precision, and doing things right the first time. Today, that same mindset fuels her work as a loan officer at Vision Mortgage Group, where she blends detail-oriented strategy with genuine compassion.
To Darby, lending isn’t just about numbers—it’s about people. It’s about helping families step into the next season of life with peace in their hearts, clarity in their decisions, and joy in the journey ahead.
“My ‘why’ has always been family—my own, and the families I get to serve. It’s about helping others find the same kind of steady peace and belonging that we’ve built in our home.”
— Darby Lamping

Experiences That Build Trust
Lending Built on Conviction.
Darby’s approach to mortgage lending isn’t transactional—it’s relational. She believes every loan is an opportunity to serve others through truth and transparency. Her process helps families feel seen, supported, and equipped to step into their next chapter with confidence.
Integrity Over Image
Doing what’s right—whether seen or unseen.
“Integrity is everything to me—and I love how Proverbs says, ‘whoever walks in integrity walks securely.’ That’s exactly how I approach my work—I’d rather walk securely in truth than stumble trying to impress.”
- Darby Lamping
Education Changes Everything
Equipping clients to make informed, confident choices.
“I think God calls us to teach and to seek understanding—not just in faith, but in all things. When people understand, they walk in peace instead of fear. That’s why I love educating my clients—it’s freeing for them.”
- Darby Lamping
Faith
Guiding every step with grace, discernment, and purpose.
“Faith is what keeps me grounded—it reminds me that this work is service. Colossians 3:23 says, ‘Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.’ That’s exactly how I try to show up—with excellence and grace, knowing it’s about serving people, not transactions.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? Here are answers to common queries before starting your home loan journey with us.
What types of loans does Darby offer?
Darby works with a full range of programs — Conventional, FHA, VA, USDA, and even rural and hobby farm loans. Her goal is to find the loan that fits your goals, not the other way around.
What makes working with Darby different from an online lender?
Simply put—she’s local, she’s real, and she cares. Darby doesn’t just process numbers; she walks alongside families through the entire process with education and honesty. You’ll never feel like “just another file.”
How long does the loan process take?
Most loans close in 21–30 days, depending on the type of financing and property. But Darby believes in proactive communication, so you’ll always know what’s coming next — no surprises, no waiting in the dark.
What should I have ready before we start?
Think of it as your financial snapshot: pay stubs, W-2s, bank statements, and ID. Darby can also help you organize everything if you’re unsure where to begin — the goal is to make this as smooth and stress-free as possible.
What happens after closing?
Darby doesn’t disappear once the ink dries. She checks in periodically to help you review equity, future goals, and refinance opportunities — because homeownership is a journey, not a finish line.
What’s the first step?
Schedule a 10-minute chat. No pressure, no sales pitch just an honest conversation about where you are, where you want to be, and how to bridge the gap.
Can I buy before selling my current home?
Sometimes, yes! There are bridge loan options that allow you to buy first and sell after. Darby will walk you through all scenarios to find what fits your comfort level and timeline best.
What if I don’t have 20% down?
That’s one of the biggest myths in mortgage! Many of Darby’s clients buy with as little as 3–5% down, and there are even programs designed to assist with down payment or closing costs. It all starts with a conversation.
What if my credit isn’t perfect?
That’s okay—most people’s aren't. Darby believes your story is more than a number. She’ll walk through your credit report with you line by line, explain what matters most to lenders, and create a clear plan to help you qualify. Her goal is to empower, not judge, and to show you that homeownership can still be within reach.
How do interest rates really work, and what affects them?
Think of rates like the tide—they rise and fall based on market conditions, inflation, and the economy. While no one can control the tide, Darby helps you read it. She’ll show you how timing, credit, and loan type affect your personal rate so you can make an informed, confident decision about when to lock.
I’m self-employed. Can I still qualify for a mortgage?
Absolutely. Being self-employed just means your income is documented differently. Darby specializes in reading between the lines of tax returns and finding ways to structure income accurately. She loves helping entrepreneurs and small business owners turn their hard work into homeownership.
Does it make sense to buy a home right now, or should I wait?
The “right time” isn’t defined by the market—it’s defined by your life. Darby helps clients look at the full picture: stability, goals, savings, and future plans. If now isn’t the right season, she’ll tell you that honestly and help you prepare for when it is. But if it is the right time, she’ll help you step forward with confidence and peace of mind.
Integrity. Education. Faith. These aren’t just convictions—they’re the foundation of every loan Darby closes.
