 Wendi
Hubacka
Hello! My name is Wendi Hubacka. I'm a proud Finnish
gal who grew up in the small mile high town of Butte,
MT. I'm the middle of three girls, that should give
you a hint to some of my personality traits. I am honored
to have been raised by my loving and supportive parents
who had been married for 39 years before we lost my
mom to breast cancer in 2000. She was always, and continues
to be, my role model and inspiration to be an independent,
successful, generous and loving woman. I did carpentry
work with my dad while growing up. I heard talking with
a customer once who was questioning whether a young
girl could do the job of a man. He replied to her that
I was a better carpenter than any guy he ever worked
with . He instilled in me the belief that talents and
abilities have no boundaries and that hard work will
reward you in the end. My two sisters, who are both
married to their high school sweethearts, each have
two kids and live near me. I am fortunate that we are
all a big part of each other's lives. My three nieces
and one nephew are my little loves. They call me Nana
Wendi. They give me such unconditional love and help
me see the world from an untainted, naïve perspective.
My sisters are my best friends. They have a neverending
supply of support and I can always rely on them for
anything! They have been a big part of boosting me up
to be the best person I can be and they trust my instincts,
even when I do come up with some pretty wacky ideas.
I always have my eye on the end result and can plan
four steps ahead to achieve my goals. I have grandparents
who have been married for 65 years. They taught me dedication,
commitment and honor. Lastly, I have another grandmother,
who immigrated from Finland, who is 94! She has shown
me how to be persistent through the good and bad and
still maintain my identity. Good genes run in the family!
I had my college experience at the University of MT
in Missoula, where I earned my BA in Social Work and
a minor in Psychology. Thereafter, I moved to Billings,
MT where I worked with juvenile delinquents and abused
children as a social worker for two years, while continuing
my master's education in Human Services. Call me weird,
but I took advanced math courses and business classes
in college for fun. They gave me a good balance to the
touchy-feely characteristics of my college emphasis.
At the time, I didn't know just how important these
two complete opposite courses of action would be for
my future career.
In Billings, I worked 2 ½ jobs, 7 days a week,
70 hours a week, while going to graduate school and
trying to maintain a relationship with my fiance at
the time. This proved to be exhausting and I still struggled
financially! That's what pushed me to take action and
move to Seattle, WA in July of 1991, without my fiance.
After six years together, that didn't end up working
out in the end. My intentions were to continue graduate
school at U of WA and become an adolescent phychologist.
This is where all my interests and talents come into
play and fate takes over. Instead of taking a job in
the human services industry and continuing my education,
I started working at a health club. I had been a competitive
athlete my whole life, and continue to be up to this
day. I enjoyed the change of pace and it gave me the
opportunity to persue body building. However, one of
the members really took the time to know who I was and
learn about my business sense and personality. He persuaded
me to work for him managing his financial firm in March
of 1992. That was the start of my current career as
a Sr. Mortgage Consultant, I built up to my current
position. This was the best move I could have ever made!
My career is the perfect marriage of both sides of my
brain and I can honestly say that I am in my dream job
and love what I do!
Aside from striving to make a mortgage transaction
extremely pleasurable, I am a stickler for getting the
job done right. My reliability, dedication, and honesty
have earned me the reputation as the loan officer you
can count on. I have a solid background in the mortgage
industry and have consistently been honored for top
achievement. Awards include: Loan Officer of the Year,
Excellence in Customer Service, Top Loan Officer, President's Club Loan Production Award and Ambassador of the Year
for the Bellevue Chamber.
I am an active member of the Bellevue Chamber of Commerce
for which I am the Chairman on their Ambassador Committee.
I also sit on a committee for the Susan G. Komen Breast
Cancer Foundation. For two years I sat on one of the
boards for the Pacific Northwest Ballet and was active
in a group called Wolfgang, they are a 20's-30's group
associated with the Seattle Symphony. This year, 2006,
I cross over into a new decade& they say 40 is the
new 30! So, I am no longer involved with Wolfgang, but
I do continue to support the arts at every turn, whether
it be the ballet, symphony, theater or museums.
The Columbia Tower Club, where I've been a member
since Feb. 2004, is a source of business and pleasure.
Activities there for me include being a member of their
Women's Forum. We plan social activities at the club
for which some are fundraisers for organizations such
as Olive Crest and WA Women in Need. I also sit on the
board of the Tower's Wine Committee, am part of their
Wine Society, participate in the gourmet cooking classes,
the outdoor adventure activities and various and assorted
fun social events held at the club. When the staff sees
me walk into the lounge, they greet me with a glass
of Veuve Clicquot champagne& my favorite!
I call everything I do outside of my office Social
Networking . I give my time to the groups and activites
that I love and are near and dear to my heart. My networking
style is all about relationship building. When I socially
interact with people, I hope they are able to see my
integrity as a person and my smarts as a professional.
Not only am I making a friend or aquaintence, but I
may end up with a business prospect down the road and
vice versa. My policy is to provide exceptional personal
service. I have a sincere dedication to superior treatment
and results, which has made me one of Washington's
top mortgage professionals, and a great friend.
Overall, I aspire to be the best person I can possibly
be and live a great, happy and healthy life. I will
continue to give my time and resources to charities
and groups I'm passionate about. Travel throughout the
world will always be a big part of my experiences and
some day I hope to have a husband to share those adventures
with. My friends and family will always have my heart
and will help to feed my soul.
