Chris Butaud
President, CPA
NMLS #13157
I am a CPA, President, and Founder of Cleveland Street Mortgage. I am strongly committed to personalized service. I specialize in guiding clients through the loan process with expertise and care, ensuring their homeownership dreams become a reality. My focus is on building lasting relationships with clients, real estate professionals, and financial partners anchored in trust and transparency.
Beyond my professional life, I have been the fortunate husband of Mary Jean (since Reagan (who politely declined our wedding invitation) was president), father of five, and grandfather to ten amazing grandchildren (so far). I am passionate about my faith, my church, and my community. Outside of work, I enjoy golf, European soccer, and exploring the world of wine. My crazy fantasy is establishing a vineyard in Chelan, WA, where I hope to create delicious red wine.
