Jay Franklin

Jay Franklin, Sr. Loan Officer, has become a leading loan officer in the Maryland area for over 30 years. Jay has received numerous awards throughout his career for his production and high level of customer service. He shares, "even after over 30 years of being in the mortgage industry, I still love helping buyers achieve their home buying goals. Whether helping clients purchase their first home, or assisting customers with second homes and investment properties, I truly enjoy my work and am honored to become their mortgage resource for a lifetime.”

Jay's work ethic was instilled in him early on and has helped him excel in the mortgage business. A lifelong Marylander, he was active in athletics growing up and continued through college. He explains, "The nature of the mortgage industry is competitive, and my background in playing and coaching sports has served me well." He adds, "In addition to helping people, I like that every day is different. It is a very fast paced industry and is by no means a 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. job."

Jay's superior customer service and industry knowledge are additional traits that set him apart. He says, “I am available to clients no matter the time or day. The loan process can be as personal or impersonal as the clients prefer, but I enjoy interacting and meeting people. Our team gets everything upfront so the process is as smooth as possible from the initial application until the loan closes. It is a team effort. We work together to make each transaction a success.”

When Jay is not working with clients, he enjoys spending time with his wife, Kara, and two boys, Brooks and Tommy.
