About Marlen Maddux

Branch Manager & Loan Officer at American Pacific Mortgage

To me, a mortgage isn't just a transaction—it's the foundation for your family's future. I take a hands-on, educational approach. That means I sit down with you, explain every fee, and compare loan options so you know exactly what you're signing at the closing table.

There are no silly questions here. From our first phone call to the day you get your keys in West Des Moines, you have a dedicated advocate in your corner.

Bilingual Support for Iowa Families

Buying a house is complicated enough; doing it in a second language shouldn't be a barrier. As a proud Latina and fully bilingual lender, I guide my Spanish-speaking clients through the exact same high-quality process in their native language, ensuring immigrant families across Iowa have a clear path to homeownership.

Local Experience in the Des Moines Metro

Real estate is deeply local. Because I live and work right here in the Des Moines metro, I understand the nuances of our neighborhoods and maintain strong relationships with local real estate agents. When you make an offer with my pre-approval letter, sellers know it's backed by a trusted local expert.

I proudly serve homebuyers across Des Moines, Urbandale, West Des Moines, Ankeny, and all of Central Iowa.
