About Jerry

Proudly serving clients across Florida, New Jersey and Virginia.

I know that buying or refinancing a home is one of the biggest financial decisions that my clients will ever make. That's why I work hard to ensure my team has the resources and know-how to ease borrowers through the loan process, with no detail overlooked.

I have an extensive background in all facets of mortgage lending, so I can advise my team members in any situation, from a first-time home purchase to a refinancing. My expertise includes Conventional, Jumbo, FHA, VA, USDA, and Renovation loans.

I also make a point of keeping up with the latest financial and industry trends, as well as state and federal regulatory requirements, so I can serve as an informed advocate for my team and our clients. I make sure my team will not only get clients a loan, but the most competitive loan for them.

Jerry was happy to answer all of my questions, work after hours, and spend any time needed to address my loan. My experience would have been better if the rest of the team who worked on my loan was more proficient.

Jerry went above and beyond for his clients and myself as the buyers agent. He was available everything I reached out to him. He followed up with an in office meeting which provided information for all, which will definitely come in handy for future buyers.

I had originally started with a different lender for the purchase of my home but it ended up being a total nightmare. After a long process which ended up not even working out, I switched to Federal savings, specifically Jerry, and it was smooth sailing. I honestly didn't expect it to be as easy of an experience as it was. He was very thorough with ...

I'm so happy I chose Jerry to handle the refinance of my mortgage! Lots of research was done to find the bank that would give me the best rate and quickest turn around.

Jerry, Christine, and Rosie the ultimate Lending TRIPLE THREAT! I absolutely loved working with the 3! With my profession, my line of work can be a little demanding so I don't necessarily have the time to put in especially when it comes to buying a house. They made the process so seamless and easy that it was honestly more them and less me. Extreme...
