Hanna/Knouf Lending Team | Lions Capital Mortgage
Whether you are purchasing your first home, buying an investment property, or refinancing your current home, my role is to make sure you are paired with the right loan officer on our team and receive the personalized service Lions Capital Mortgage is known for. As the liaison for the Hanna/Knouf Lending Team, I ensure every client enjoys clear communication, seamless execution, and an on-time closing.

For more than 25 years, I have built my career around client care, marketing, and public relations. At Lions Capital Mortgage, I have found the ideal place to bring those skills to life. What sets Lions Capital apart is more than our independent structure and wide range of loan products. It is our unwavering commitment to the communities we serve.

A key part of my role is also fostering strong relationships with local builders. These connections ensure our clients have access to opportunities and trusted partnerships that make the homebuying process even smoother. By aligning clients with both the right financing and the right builder relationships, we help create a seamless path from dream to reality.

Our foundation is rooted in giving back. Under the leadership of our CEO, Kevin J. Hanna, Lions Capital founded the Lake Oswego Police Foundation and Beaverton Police Foundation and continues to support countless philanthropic initiatives across the region. This dedication has made us more than a mortgage company. It has made us a trusted partner in our neighborhoods.

Our community-first approach has also earned recognition:

• Best Mortgage Company in Lake Oswego and West Linn (2024, 2025)
• Best in Customer Service (2024, 2025)
• Number 1 Business of the Year (2024, 2025)
• Best Mortgage Broker in Lake Oswego, West Linn, and surrounding neighborhoods (2025)
• Community Leader of the Year 2025 was awarded to our CEO, Kevin J. Hanna. With more products and solutions at our disposal than at any point in my career, I am excited to help clients and partners achieve their goals while carrying forward Lions Capital’s mission of service.
  From our CEO, Kevin J. Hanna:
  “I could not be happier to welcome Julie to our Lions Capital family. She not only strengthens our commitment to customer service but also bolsters our engagement in the communities we serve. While others are shuttering their doors, Lions Capital is doubling down by investing in our people, our resources, and our neighborhoods. Julie embodies that mission and will help us continue serving our clients and partners, unlike ever before.”

At Lions Capital, we do not just fund mortgages. We invest in people, communities, and long-term success.
