Loan Officer
Blake is devoted to making a positive difference in the lives of others by helping them achieve the American Dream of homeownership. As a Loan Officer, Blake guides homebuyers through the lending process, providing guidance and support at each step. A true mortgage professional, Blake always knew this would be his calling, as it allows him to help people each day.

With a business model built firmly around trust, the Bravo Team’s goal is to create clients for life, building relationships beyond the transaction.
Blake’s passion for serving his community extends outside of the office. An avid supporter of the Houston Rodeo, he serves as a member of the Wine Sales and Events Committee and the Mutton Bustin’ Committee. Blake and his wife, Samantha, are involved with Houston PetSet and K9 Angels, fostering dogs and helping them to find their “fur-ever” homes.

Ashley Orozco
Loan Processor
Ashley’s favorite moment of the loan process is telling a client they are approved and ready to close. As Loan Processor, she is dedicated to making this happen. Ashley diligently ensures each document is prepared and each detail is considered in preparation for a smooth, worry-free closing day. The feeling of helping others achieve their goal of homeownership has inspired her to serve in the mortgage industry for more than 15 years. When she’s not working, Ashley loves to spend time with her amazing family – her husband of 15 years, and their three wonderful children.
We’re here for YOU. We’re here for our COMMUNITY.
Get to know Loan Officer Blake Bravo with our Q&A.
"I help clients achieve the American Dream of homeownership by helping meet their mortgage financing goals. As far as why they should work with me, my business is focused on relational vs. transactional. Our team helps build a specific plan for each and every client to ensure we meet their cash-flow goals on their purchase or refinance."
"Closing, because clients are excited and happy!"
"I have a Production Partner and two Processors. They are the backbone of our team; they help ensure loans move through the process smoothly and close on time."
"Houston PetSet (helps with transportation of animals), K9 Angels, and Houston Rodeo."
"As a native Houstonian, I feel the city has grown on me more and more. The city is very diverse, which I absolutely love, and the food is amazing. There is a modern feel in the Galleria/Uptown/Downtown area, and then more of a historic feel in the Heights. I love that in Houston, you can have a mixture of both."
