In this special episode of Local Legends with Jess, the spotlight turns to the original legend herself — Jess, the Mortgage Matchmaker.

From start to finish, this conversation centers around one powerful message: buying a home doesn’t have to be overwhelming, confusing, or out of reach.
Jess breaks down common misconceptions about the mortgage process — especially the belief that you need more money, perfect timing, or flawless circumstances before starting. She explains why waiting often creates more uncertainty than clarity and how getting informed is the real first step toward homeownership.
With years of experience helping individuals and families navigate the lending world, Jess shares how strategy, preparation, and the right guidance can make all the difference. Behind every mortgage is a real story — a family, a fresh start, an investment in the future — and her mission is to make that process feel clear and achievable.
If you’ve ever wondered whether now is the right time, this episode will challenge you to rethink the narrative. The path may be more accessible than you realize — and the first move might simply be starting the conversation.

These are the local legends shaping our communities.
