About Dane Phillips
After completing his degree, Dane embarked on a career in mortgage banking; trading mortgage-backed securities alongside his father, Dwayne Phillips, an early pioneer in the field. After a successful stint at General Motors Acceptance Corporation (GMAC), Dane moved to the Pacific NW to lead Michigan California Mortgage (MICAL) in Lake Oswego, OR. In 2009, amidst a turbulent time in our country's history, Dane took on a consultant role and a seat on the Board of Directors with Sound Mortgage, Inc., a Seattle-based mortgage banker.
After just 90 days, he was privileged to be appointed as the EVP-Managing Director, entrusted with the responsibility of overseeing 28 branches across 7 western states and leading 455 individuals through the aftermath of the mortgage storm of 2008-2010. It was a period that required tough decisions - from streamlining operations and implementing necessary cutbacks to diligently managing finances and securing capital, all while strategically positioning the company for a successful sale.
This experience not only shaped my professional journey but also reinforced my belief in resilience, adaptability, and the power of strategic decision-making. It serves as a reminder of the importance of perseverance in the face of adversity and the value of teamwork in achieving common goals.
For the last decade, Dane has owned and operated a Real Estate Brokerage in Clackamas County. Dane's wife, Lisa Phillips, is the Owner of Approved Mortgage Inc., a Mortgage Brokerage and a strategic partner of For Sale by Dane| Rely On Homes. Together, Dane and Lisa offer a comprehensive approach to meeting your real estate and mortgage needs. With six wonderful children (Breah 33, Kylee 31, Sarah 24, Taylor 23, Grace 16, Zephen 15), combined with growing up between the beaches of San Diego and the mountains of Jackson, WY, Dane fosters a seasoned approach to what the Real Estate industry needs.
