About
Hi there, I'm Jess Van Wagoner, and I've had the pleasure of assisting over 1,000 families with their mortgage financing needs throughout my career. As a Top 1% mortgage originator in the U.S., I believe our Team's success comes from open communication, a warm and approachable personality, and a deep understanding of the lending process. This helps our clients and Realtor partners experience a simple and smooth loan transaction.
I'm dedicated to educating homebuyers about the loan process and providing top-notch service at every step. This allows us to tailor the perfect mortgage to each client's unique needs. I specialize in a variety of loans, including Conventional, FHA, VA, and USDA loans, as well as Jumbo Loans, down payment assistance, and renovation and new construction programs. With licenses in multiple states, I can offer an exceptional mortgage experience to homebuyers across the country.
At New American Funding, I have access to a wide range of loan products with competitive rates. The company is known for being one of the top mortgage lenders nationwide, with a strong culture of support. This results in a fast and efficient loan process that always prioritizes the client.
Before entering the mortgage industry, I earned a bachelor's degree in criminal law and psychology and worked as a general contractor in residential and commercial construction for a decade. This background has given me a lasting interest in home repairs and remodeling. When I'm not helping clients, I love spending time outdoors—camping, hunting, fishing, and playing golf—and enjoying quality time with my wife and family, raising our two boys.
