Jeff LaMotte

Jeff is President and Co-Owner of Val-Chris Investments, Inc., and has been with the company since 2009. A Southern California native, Jeff began his experience in the financial services industry while attending school at The University of California, Irvine. After graduation, he started to work as an account executive at Val-Chris Investments. Val-Chris Investments is known in the industry for its long and trustworthy reputation as a California Private lender since 1975. After a few short years with the firm, Jeff became one of the top producers and personally helped Val-Chris reach #1 on Scotsman Guides’ top private lender list in California. Jeff became a licensed real estate agent in 2011, a California licensed real estate broker in 2012, and acquired his NMLS license a few years later. Throughout Jeff’s tenure at Val-Chris Investments, he has placed over half a billion dollars in loans with private investors. With almost two decades of experience in loan origination and funding, Jeff quickly learned the skills and requirements necessary to originate, underwrite, and place private loans in the most effective and respectable ways possible. In late 2018, Jeff became a partner in the firm to further promote fair and ethical lending in California while managing the company’s extensive investor database. The Greater Irvine Chamber also honored Jeff as one of 2020’s 40 Under 40 Business Leaders! Jeff and his wife, Hillary, live in southern California. They are very happy to be part of the community and feel it is a wonderful place to live and raise their son, Wyatt and daughter, Charlotte. When Jeff isn’t with his family or friends, he is an avid golfer and proudly carries a single-digit handicap.
