About Gianni

Proudly serving clients across Florida, Georgia and Tennessee.

Gianni Cerretani is a nationally recognized mortgage professional with over 26 years of industry experience, consistently ranking in the top 1% of mortgage originators nationwide. Renowned for his exceptional client care, he has been named among the Top 100 Mortgage Professionals by Experience.com for customer service and stands as the #1 Home Heroes affiliate lender in his state and #5 in the country.

Gianni is also a two-time Telly Award-winning television host on The American Dream TV Network, where he leads the segment Financing the American Dream. Through this platform, he educates and empowers viewers with insights into homeownership, financing strategies, and building generational wealth.

At the heart of Gianni’s work is a deep passion for serving community heroes. He has helped first responders, law enforcement officers, healthcare professionals, educators, and members of all military branches save more than $2.8 million in homebuying costs—making the dream of homeownership more attainable for those who serve and protect our communities. His commitment extends beyond lending, as he actively supports these heroes through charitable contributions and ongoing educational initiatives.

Gianni also dedicates his time to a ministry called God’s Warriors, where he helps share the Gospel with children in local schools through powerful demonstrations of strength and faith.

A lifelong athlete, Gianni once captained a Junior Olympic USA ice hockey team and has an extensive background in martial arts and competitive bodybuilding. His discipline and drive carry over into every aspect of his professional and personal life.

Together with his wife, Kristen, Gianni shares a love for animals—especially golden retrievers. Their passion for rescue has inspired a long-term goal of opening a sanctuary dedicated to caring for elderly dogs.

Known for his transparency, high-level communication, and relentless commitment to excellence, Gianni approaches every client relationship with integrity and heart. His mission is simple: deliver the best possible outcome for every client while creating an experience so positive that it builds customers for life.
