Loan Consultant

Bob Davis has been a Ventura area resident since 1967. 

Beginning in July 1977, Bob has been active in the real estate and financing profession. Both as a Realtor and a Lender he is most known as bobthelender! He is pleased to be associated with First Bank, a fourth generation, family owned business for over 100 years. NMLS 249185. 

The different markets of inflation, recession, stagflation and the eventual expansion from those times are experiences he has weathered and helped many people endure with prosperity. Real Estate Lending is not the commodity consumers are led to believe it can be! Bob loves to teach the facts of Lending Life for anyone willing to listen. Creating a real estate financing plan, good debt, is a favorite act of Bob’s. Takes time and often does not require a new loan, the best part is handing success to families of all shapes and sizes. 

Bob is married to his best friend, Mary Gross Davis. They share children, grandchildren and yes… even great grandchildren! Living in Ventura has been a great gift and their married life is centered right here! 

Making Ventura a better place is what Bob, Mary and his team seek daily.

Realtor | City Center Mentor 

I was born and raised in the Midwest and came to faith in Jesus Christ in Ventura in 2007. I’ve been a Deacon at CPC since 2010 and operated the prayer chain for twelve years. As a member of the Benevolence Fund, I recently succeeded in changing the charter to allow people from outside of the church to receive financial assistance. I also formed the Just Checking In ministry to keep in touch with vulnerable people living alone. I’m a City Center Mentor and have supported the ministry for several years along with several missions around the globe.

I have been raising my two Grandchildren for the last 12 years and am grateful to see my 18-year-old Grandson following the Lord.  My daughter is a recovering Fentanyl addict. I was widowed in 2017 when my husband died from Meth addiction. Life experience has basically given me a Ph.D. in drug addiction and domestic abuse. I feel this background gives me a perspective that could serve the residents of The City Center well.

I married David Fleisch during the Pandemic in 2020 and we enjoy serving the Lord together. He is the President of the Elders at CPC and is on several Boards and committees.
