Maxine Jones was born in Rochester, New York, and moved to Oregon as a young child. She grew up in Keizer and now resides in Salem. She has been married to her longtime sweetheart, Brett, since 2017, and together they have a blended family that includes two daughters, Olivia and Sophia. Traveling the world is Maxine’s passion, and as empty nesters, she and Brett look forward to exploring even more. In her free time, Maxine also enjoys wine tasting and floral arranging—creative outlets that bring her joy and relaxation.

Maxine has been working in the real estate industry since 1991, starting in title and escrow before transitioning into mortgage lending in 2002. She joined Resident Lending Group in 2004 when the company first opened its doors—and has had the privilege of working side by side with her best friend, Lois, who is the President and owner of Resident Lending Group.

With experience in many areas of the industry, Maxine has a deep understanding of the home loan process from start to finish. Her tagline, “Solving the Mortgage Puzzle,” reflects her passion for helping clients navigate the many moving pieces of a transaction. She takes pride in being a knowledgeable guide and a strong advocate for her clients.

“It is very gratifying to help my clients succeed in their mortgage journey—whether that’s through refinancing or achieving homeownership. This is one of, if not the most expensive purchases they will ever make, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. There’s nothing better than seeing a happy, satisfied client at the end of the process, knowing I was able to guide them with care and confidence every step of the way.”
