At Home On Opening Day
We’re big sports fans here at The Yi Team so baseball’s opening day is something to celebrate! Not only is the game a ton of fun to watch or play, we pull some of that “team spirit” and use it here at The Yi Team Mortgage. It’s one of the best parts of The Yi Team and part of what makes working here (and working with us) so awesome!
Chong has his selfies down pat.
Opening day is never spent at home for Chong. He’s celebrates the first home game with his favorite team, the Orioles, every year! It’s always more fun to cheer on the home team with some friends. Bringing people together is one of Chong’s specialties.
Opening Day
Chong splurges on season tickets to support the Orioles and forgives anyone with Natitude. It’s all about the love of the game! Go O’s and Go Nats!
Coach John
Senior loan officer, John Walowac takes baseball to a whole other level. He’s the coach of his son’s baseball team, so opening day is celebrated on the diamond of his neighborhood school.
Opening Day On The Diamond
John has coaching in his blood, which comes in handy when he’s helping borrowers through the loan process.
Keeping Her Eye On The Ball
Gorgeous skies over the neighborhood play area makes for awesome baseball. Erin Finke’s daughter Peyton puts a determined eye on the ball for her big swing! Go Peyton!

Alicia Loves Her Home Team
Did you know that not all of our team is in the DMV area? Our team spirit reaches far and wide. Alicia Newberry is in Nashville, Tennessee and loves her baseball team. Go Kansas City Royals!
Jennifer Will You Marry Me?
Opening Day with the Orioles is especially memorable for Jen Hansel because this is where her husband popped the question! Don’t you love how Jen’s husband even pulled off the orange and black color scheme? It’s details like that that make all the difference.
Wishing your favorite team the best of luck this season!
Step Up to the Plate This Opening Day with The Yi Team!
Spring is here, the smell of fresh-cut grass is in the air, and the crack of the bat signals that baseball is officially back! Opening Day isn’t just the start of a new season—it’s a reminder that home matters, whether it’s rounding third toward home plate or unlocking the front door to your own place.
At The Yi Team, we know that buying a home can feel like stepping up to bat with the bases loaded. But don’t worry—you don’t have to swing for the fences alone.
“There’s nothing like Opening Day at Camden Yards,” says Chong Yi, a lifelong Orioles fan and season ticket holder. “It’s that feeling of fresh possibilities, of knowing you’re in the right place, at the right time. And honestly, that’s what buying a home should feel like, too.”
