After serving in the United States Air Force and completing a tour in Iraq, Jeff Walston returned home with something most loan officers don't have: a firsthand understanding of what it takes to work hard for every dollar and make smart decisions with it.
Jeff has been a real estate investor, a small business owner, and an Operations Manager overseeing eight-figure government contracts. That background means he brings discipline, attention to detail, and real accountability to every loan he closes.
When you work with Jeff, you're not just getting a loan. You're getting someone who will actually explain your options, answer every question, and make sure you close with confidence.
A generation of young working Americans is getting locked out of homeownership, priced out by inflation, stagnant wages, and a housing market that wasn't built for them. Jeff watched it happen and decided he couldn't sit on the sidelines.
That's why he founded Employee Home Advantage (EHA), an employer-sponsored homeownership benefit that helps working families get into a house through their job. Because homeownership is still the most reliable safety net and wealth-building tool working Americans have, and the people doing the work in this country shouldn't be locked out of it.
When Jeff originates your loan, that same mission is behind every decision. You'll find he charges a fair price and offers a level of transparency that is very uncommon in the lending industry. He's not trying to get you into the biggest mortgage you qualify for. He's trying to get you into a mortgage you won't lose sleep over at night.
Direct to you, before we ever talk.
I'll keep this short because your time is important to me.
I'm a licensed real estate agent as well as a licensed mortgage loan officer. When I'm structuring your loan, I'm also thinking about what the listing agent is seeing, what the appraiser is going to flag, and what the seller will and won't agree to. Most loan officers have never written a purchase contract. I have.
I'm a veteran, a former business owner, and the founder of Employee Home Advantage. I know what it means to have skin in the game, to be responsible for the outcome, to not have someone above me to blame when things go sideways. That's how I handle your file too.
If a different loan product is better for you, I'll tell you. If you should wait six months and fix your credit first, I'll tell you. If I can't beat another lender's quote, I'll tell you that too. The lending industry runs on confusion. I refuse to operate that way.
If that sounds like the kind of person you want handling the biggest financial decision of your life, let's talk.
