About Me
Jessica Howard
Educator, Mortgage Advisor, CDLP®, CMA™, RCS-D™
With over two decades of experience in the mortgage industry, I am passionate about empowering real estate professionals and industry partners through education. As a Certified Mortgage Advisor (CMA™), Certified Divorce Lending Professional (CDLP®), and a Real Estate Collaboration Specialist in Divorce (RCS-D™), I have built my career on the cornerstone of education, both in client interactions and in the broader community.
I serve as a Continuing Education Instructor through DORA, delivering relevant and market-focused content to keep real estate professionals ahead of industry changes. My experience spans various facets of mortgage lending, from sales and operations to underwriting and decision-making analytics, giving me a deep understanding of the complexities of the mortgage environment.
At the core of my work is a commitment to being a reliable and trusted resource in the community. Whether it's guiding first-time homebuyers or educating seasoned real estate agents on complex topics like condo lending and homeowners associations, my goal is to ensure that every client and partner I work with is informed and confident in their decisions.
As a Producing Branch Manager at Venture Home Loans, I lead a team of experts dedicated to providing strategic advice and exceptional service. I am also committed to the growth and development of fellow loan originators, offering mentorship and training to help them build successful careers in the mortgage industry.
My approach is multi-faceted, combining deep industry knowledge with a passion for education to create an elevated experience for everyone I work with. Whether in the classroom or in the field, I strive to make a meaningful impact by sharing knowledge, fostering understanding, and helping others succeed in the ever-evolving real estate landscape. And I like to do it with a SMILE.
