Why Serres Farms Exists
Designed with purpose. Built to last.

Why Choose Serres Farms
The Lifestyle that fosters the convenient conveniences.
Serres Farms offers a neighborhood feel without sacrificing convenience—close to parks, schools, and everyday essentials, while still feeling tucked away.
It’s a place where evenings slow down, weekends feel full, and home actually feels like home.
The Homes
Rooted in Oregon City. Positioned for convenience.
The homes at Serres Farms balance modern design with functional living—open layouts, intentional storage, and finishes that age well over time.
New construction means fewer surprises, lower maintenance, and peace of mind—especially for first-time and move-up buyers.
Is Serres Farms a good option for first-time homebuyers?
Yes — Serres Farms is especially well-suited for first-time and early move-up buyers. The homes are thoughtfully designed to balance comfort, functionality, and affordability, while new construction helps reduce maintenance surprises during the early years of ownership.
Many buyers see Serres Farms as a strong stepping stone: a place to build equity, settle in, and grow into their next chapter with confidence.
What makes new construction at Serres Farms different from resale homes?
New construction at Serres Farms offers modern layouts, updated systems, and the peace of mind that comes with brand-new materials and construction standards.
For many buyers, this means fewer immediate repairs, lower maintenance early on, and a smoother transition into homeownership — especially compared to older resale properties.
What types of buyers are most drawn to Serres Farms?
Serres Farms attracts a wide range of buyers — from first-time homeowners and young families to downsizers and professionals seeking low-maintenance living.
The common thread is buyers who want a well-built home that supports real life without unnecessary complexity.
What are the benefits of living in an attached home at Serres Farms?
Living in an attached home at Serres Farms offers a smart balance of privacy, efficiency, and long-term value. These homes are built to modern construction standards that prioritize sound reduction, energy efficiency, and thoughtful layouts: meaning they often feel quieter and more private than buyers expect.
Attached living can also translate to lower overall ownership costs. Shared walls typically improve energy efficiency, and the reduced exterior footprint means less maintenance over time compared to larger detached homes.
From an investment perspective, well-built attached homes in growing areas like Oregon City continue to attract strong demand. Their accessibility, lower maintenance, and affordability relative to detached homes make them appealing not only today, but to future buyers as well.
For many homeowners, attached living at Serres Farms isn’t a compromise — it’s a strategic choice that supports both lifestyle and financial goals.

“I want something that feels like a real home — not a temporary step.”
Serres Farms is ideal for first-time buyers who are ready to move beyond renting and into ownership with confidence. These homes offer modern layouts, new construction reliability, and a manageable footprint — making the transition into homeownership feel exciting rather than overwhelming.

The Growing Household Needing Smart Space
“We don’t need bigger — we need better.”

“I want my home to support my life, not run it.”
For buyers who value simplicity, balance, and flexibility, attached living at Serres Farms makes sense. With less exterior maintenance and thoughtfully designed interiors, homeowners gain time back — for family, hobbies, rest, or simply enjoying where they live.
This is an ideal fit for buyers who prioritize quality of life and long-term sustainability over square footage alone.
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.
