Seattle, WA · CMG Home Loans · NMLS 468091
I'm Duane Lockett — a Seattle-based Loan Officer with CMG Home Loans and over twenty years in residential mortgage. My focus is transparent communication and outstanding service, using the All In One Loan® to help clients close on the home of their dreams without breaking the bank.
Interest never sleeps
accrued so far today on a $400,000 balance at 6.5%*
Mortgage interest on CMG's All In One Loan® is simple interest calculated against your balance, every single day — while your paycheck sits idle in a checking account earning next to nothing. The All In One Loan® parks that income against your balance instead, so every deposited dollar stops its share of this meter without losing a dime of access.
The Math
Most borrowers shop one number: the rate. But the true cost of a mortgage is three-dimensional — and the other two dimensions are where the real money hides.
The number on the billboard. It matters — but it's the only dimension traditional lending ever lets you optimize.
Interest is charged on what you owe. Lower the balance sooner, and every day of interest gets cheaper.
The years the balance is carried. Cut the time, and you cut the compounding — regardless of where rates sit.
Scenario A — the 30-year default
6.50% · 30-year fixed · $300,000
Total interest over the life of the loan$382,633
Scenario B — half the time
5.50% · 15-year fixed · $300,000
Total interest over the life of the loan$141,225
The 15-year saves $241,408 in interest. Here's the 3D part: keep the 30-year term and just drop the rate to 5.50%, and you'd still pay $313,212 — so $171,987 of the savings comes from time alone, nearly 2.5× what the rate cut delivers. The catch? The 15-year payment runs about $555 more per month. The All In One Loan® attacks balance and time the same way — using cash flow you already have, not a bigger fixed payment.
*Illustration for educational purposes only; not an offer of credit or a rate quote. Scenario A: $300,000 loan, 30-year fixed at 6.500%, principal & interest of $1,896.20/mo. Scenario B: $300,000 loan, 15-year fixed at 5.500%, principal & interest of $2,451.25/mo. Payments exclude taxes, insurance, and mortgage insurance. Rates are hypothetical examples for comparison, may not reflect current pricing, and may not be available at the time of lock; APR will be higher than the rates shown and depends on individual loan costs.

The Strategy
The All In One Loan® is a first-lien line of credit merged with full-service banking. Most households will move more money through checking in the next 5–7 years than they owe on their home — this puts that flow to work.
Paychecks and revenue land in the account exactly like a normal checking account. No new habits, no new budget.
Every deposit is applied against principal the moment it arrives — idle dollars stop being idle.
Interest accrues on each day's actual lower balance — so savings start on day one, not year twenty.
Spend, transfer, and withdraw 24/7. Liquidity is built in — no refinance required to reach your equity.
The Advisor
With over twenty years in the residential mortgage industry, my focus is straightforward: transparent communication and outstanding service. The mortgage is one of the biggest financial decisions most households will ever make — you deserve to understand every step, and to trust the person walking you through it.
My BA in Economics from the University of Washington and in-depth understanding of mortgage guidelines give me a unique perspective on the home buying process. I use that knowledge — along with programs like the All In One Loan® — to make financing seamless, straightforward, and even enjoyable, helping clients close on the home of their dreams without overpaying.
Outside the office, my most important job is raising two young men — my boys, 7 and 5, who keep me sharper and more honest than any client ever could. Whether it's coaching them through a hard loss, teaching them to shake a hand and look someone in the eye, or just being present at the dinner table, showing up for my family is the standard I hold myself to everywhere else in life. Off the clock, you'll find me reading, skiing, or hunting down the next great spicy meal in Seattle. I've built my practice on great listening, attention to detail, and getting things done — because every client deserves the same care I try to bring home each night.
The Next Step
Fifteen minutes. Your actual cash flow, your actual balance, and a projected payoff date you can hold me to. No pressure — just math.
