Kassie joined the Only 1 Team in May of 2018. She started in the industry as a receptionist and worked her way through a few different positions in the mortgage industry until she found her passion as a Loan Officer Assistant. Kassie has called Redding home since 1999 and when she is not helping close loans, she is enjoying everything Northern California has to offer! She enjoys most of her summer days boating on Lake Shasta with her boyfriend Jeff and their dog Jax. She loves playing the piano, hiking, skydiving, and looks forward to her time camping in Lake Havasu, Oroville, Almanor, Trinity…just about anywhere as long as she’s spending time with the ones she loves!
