Empeople Credit Union

Life Update LinkedIn , it's time for a transition! After a year full of moving parts and personal growth, I’m proud to say I’ve officially closed the chapter of debt and the financial struggles I once faced. Through determination, setting clear goals, and making the right financial decisions, I’ve been truly blessed to have Russell Butts, AFC®, by my side—not just as a financial advisor, but as a true life mentor. Like many others, I’ve experienced stress, uncertainty, and the tough road of rebuilding. Russell entered our family’s life at just the right time. His guidance helped me make smarter financial choices and, most importantly, rebuild my credit—raising it by over 100 points in just a few months! With his help, I tackled debt head-on, followed strategic plans, and made meaningful sacrifices (yes, even cutting back on that daily coffee run ☕). It hasn’t always been easy, but with the right mindset and support, the results are real—and they’re worth it. Empeople Credit Union, you’ve got a gem on your team — Russell is an incredible asset and I can’t recommend him enough! If you’re in the U.S. and looking for a trusted financial advisor, he’s your guy. Thank you, Russell, for everything. Here's to new beginnings and financial freedom! #NewBeginnings #FinancialWellness #CreditRebuild #Thankful #EmPeopleCreditUnion

🏠 MEMBER TESTIMONIAL 🏠 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ "The process from applying to closing was a breeze! As a first-time home buyer, we had quite a few questions, but Dan Schimanski and our processor Amanda Rottman were always quick to answer. I would recommend Empeople to anyone looking for a mortgage, but especially a first-time home buyer!" #mortgage #empeoplecreditunion
