"Jeremy helped us with the purchase of our very first home. He was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. He answered every question we had - big or small - as if it was the most important thing he could be doing in that moment. He made us feel very cared for and was extremely efficient at giving us updates along the way. Do not question your choice to work with Jeremy! We are so glad we did."

"Great service and rate! Adam "quarterbacked" the home loan process for my family. He is friendly and did a great job educating us, finding solutions, and following up to make sure everything was on schedule through closing. We couldn't have been happier about the experience with JPAL."

"Adam and Jeremy with JPAL mortgage are top notch when it comes to looking for a mortgage from a broker. From their professionalism, friendly demeanor, willingness to educate and offer solutions to their desire to get their clients the best most cost effective loan, the team at JPAL go above and beyond and exceed expectations. I had a tight window to close after changing lenders with a purchase out of state and Adam and team jumped right in, found me a better loan than I originally had and got me approved in 10 days. Always available and great communication, both Adam and Jeremy were always available for my concerns. Amazingly I don’t think I ever talked to a voice mail. JPAL exceeded all expectations. If your looking for a home loan, go with the best of the best and reach out to JPAL, you will not be disappointed and will get top notch service."

"JPAL Mortgage was the most wonderful experience we have ever had in purchasing a home! They constantly kept us apprised of the progress in securing the loan and working a miracle in closing on our home in a 2 week time period. Jeremy Pins especially, was a joy to work with. Nothing was impossible for him to accomplish. Jeremy's knowledge, experience, guidance, and advice on the direction we should consider in a very difficult financial climate was absolutely amazing! If/when we plan to purchase another property, JPAL will be the only company we will consider.  We will recommend to anyone in the market to purchase property, JPAL are true 'miracle workers'!"

"Jeremy assisted us with navigating the mortgage process for our move from out of state. He was responsive and attentive to our needs. He even worked on our mortgage with us while we were out of the country for a family emergency. When we were able to locate a home, we closed in record time. Responsive, attentive and efficient. Jeremy was great to work with!"
