Jerrie was recruited into the mortgage industry at age 18 while working as a server at Bucker's wing and sportsbar by a regular customer who recognized her potential. Starting at an entry-level position at AmeriSave in 2018, Jerrie has spent her entire career with the company, progressing through sales roles to upper management through consistent results and leadership.

Her career-defining moment came when she was tasked with onboarding and training approximately 70 people from a closed Cleveland office of another company-her first experience with remote team management. After 6-7 months of remote leadership, she flew to Cleveland to meet the team in person, cementing relationships that demonstrated her commitment to people and process. This experience shaped her leadership style and deepened her understanding of building high-performing teams across different markets.

Licensed as a Mortgage Loan Originator in 37 states, Jerrie possesses deep regulatory knowledge across multiple jurisdictions. She specializes in making complicated loan options accessible and approachable, helping borrowers cut through industry jargon to understand what truly matters for their specific situations. Her approach is warm, respectful, and encouraging-she delivers clarity without oversimplification and acts as a trusted partner throughout the mortgage journey.

Based in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, Jerrie is married to a real estate agent and is mother to a newborn daughter (4 months old). Her family also includes her wife's 32-year-old cousin with Down syndrome, for whom they serve as guardians. This personal experience informs her empathetic, patient approach to working with clients from all backgrounds and circumstances.

Jerrie's content focuses on loan products, borrower education, the sales process, choosing the right loan path (conventional vs. jumbo vs. niche products), navigating borrower requirements (credit, DTI, documentation), step-by-step loan process walkthroughs from application through closing, avoiding pitfalls like appraisal surprises and rate lock mistakes, homeownership confidence building from pre-approval to move-in readiness, regional market insights (DFW borrower considerations), myth-busting and FAQs, and borrower empowerment with questions to ask and red flags to notice. Her writing uses conversational language with explanatory analogies, provides step-by-step guidance breaking down complex topics, uses empathy to frame content by speaking to readers directly and thoughtfully, employs second-person ("you") for approachability and first-person when sharing insights or experiences, and maintains a genuine, straightforward approach. Her tone is warm, respectful, and encouraging, nurturing yet assertive, empathetic, patient, borrower-centric, and values clear, honest communication. Her core philosophy centers on being grateful, clearly defining goals and not wasting opportunities, and providing knowledge and education to teach and inform clients about mortgages as such a big part of their life.
