Working with Jean is a dream. I've used her several times for mortgages and refis. Jean always finds the deal that best suits our needs, and I know she has my back. She knows her stuff, and she is always on top of the latest opportunities to save you money. Jean goes well above and beyond to care for her clients. I can't recommend her more highly!

As a real estate agent, I always had other contacts to refer my clients to, however when my brother and sister-in-law started looking for their home, they needed a lender who understood the entertainment industry and the idiosyncrasies of my brother-in-law’s income. Going through the process was so unbelievably easy and FAST, a word that is never used to describe a lender in general, much less, a lender dealing with non-W2 income! I was blown away by how fast and clean Jean was, so when it was my time to personally use a lender, I had to use Jean for myself. Since my husband is also in the entertainment industry, it was a perfect way to test out if Jean’s speed was a one-time experience or if that was simply the way she operates. Needless to say, Jean worked her magic again and executed another equally fast loan approval/closing process. I cannot recommend Jean enough as a lender, not only for those in the industry, but to anyone in general.

I have worked with Jean on both mortgages and refinances for my family no less than 4 times. With my husband working in entertainment and myself being self-employed, we needed a mortgage broker who understood our financial situation and needs. Jean has always been a consummate straight-to-the-point and honest professional and I could not appreciate this more. She makes solid recommendations and has gotten to know my family more and more over the years about what suits us best. I have never felt pressured or even in over my head with running numbers. She runs various scenarios (which probably drives her crazy, but I love) and this really paints multiple pictures for me on what I can work with. Her communication in texting, emails and calls is super efficient, knowledgable and honest. I couldn't ask for a better broker who understands how we don't fit the traditional family of W-2's but are able to continue to buy and refinance. Whatever magic she runs with her computers has helped us buy our first home together and onto many more. Don't hesitate to contact Jean. She has really been a gift to work with.

Quite simply the best facilitator of loans for all levels of financing, from the high echelon, high dollar-amount business people to the less-experienced (us), not-so-high-financed folks. Jean Gallagher guided us through the serpentine maze of bank loans for homes with such a knowledgeable, experienced, and level-headed approach, coming with her down-to-earth, human light touch, that was, for my wife, my mother, and me, an inspiring joy, believe it or not. She really made it a great adventure. It sounds over-the-top, but, really, I can't say enough good about her. She made what we wanted to happen happen...really fast! Amazing!

Jean at Entertainment Mortgage was recommended to me by a friend who works in the Entertainment industry. She was smart, kind, and incredibly responsive. One of the biggest benefits to Jean, however, was that she understands how to handle getting a mortgage for a client who works in the industry and may not have "steady" or "consistent" employment on paper, even though they are steadily employed. She also understands her clients, and was very thoughtful in her communications - both in what to let us know and how to tell us. I cannot say enough good things about Jean. All I can say is, though I really hope to be in my forever home, if I do have to buy a new house, I really want to work with Jean again.

I bought my first place Sept 2021. Jean was amazing through the whole process (about 9 to 10 months) ! She was very patient, informative, responsive and professional. I am a bit hyperfocused and intense when trying to achieve a goal so I emailed and called her a lot, a whole lot. She was always so kind and helpfull when explaining and answering all my questions. I would 100% team up with Jean again when I am ready to move on to my next place.

Jean Gallagher at Entertainment Mortgage is absolutely amazing. She patiently worked with our tricky finances to secure us a mortgage when no one else seemed able or willing to. The financial realities of working as a freelancer in the film industry are complex (with incomes varying wildly from month to month) and this is where Jean truly shines. She speaks the language and is able to be the perfect liaison between the entertainment industry and the lending industry. We truly did not think we would qualify until we talked to her, and the process was fast, seamless, and thoroughly pleasant. Jean is always available to answer questions, walk you through issues, and instantly reduce stress levels in what can be a very confusing process. We will be using her for all of our future mortgages and would highly recommended her to anyone.
