About Jake
I was born and raised on 40 acres in Sonoma, California so I grew up spending much of my childhood playing outdoors. I was raised by a family of entrepreneurs and got my first taste when I started working in my father’s pasta shop at seven years old. I would go sweep my stepfather’s lumberyard and take on any side jobs for family friends that came about, I don’t really ever remember a time when I wasn’t working to some extent- I enjoyed it. It is safe to say that my tenacity for working hard and earning money was instilled in me at a young age. I remember never wanting to ask my parents to buy me toys. Which, as I grew up, went from toys, then a skateboard, and eventually Cars.
I wanted to earn the money to buy those things for myself. It was something I wanted to earn myself.
My start in the mortgage business was somewhat a fluke. To help put me through college, I was bartending in the financial district of San Francisco and was getting by on the standard college “top ramen diet”. A regular would come into the bar every Thursday for a lunch appointment. We would chit chat for about 30 minutes before his appointment when I came in for my shift. I began to notice that at every lunch he would order an expensive bottle of wine. So I finally asked him what he did for a living. He responded, “Come to my officeMonday morning, I think you would be really good at what I do.” Thirty-eight days later, I closed my first mortgage. I took a picture of the check, sent it to my dad, and said, “I think I figured out what I’m going to do”. That was in 2005. I was twenty-two years old.

“I wake up at 5am every morning and work 10-14 hours a day, I do this because I truly love my clients and love what I do, I am not a “Finance Guy”, “Mortgage Broker” or “Loan Dude”, I am a person who likes helping people that has a certain unique skill set with numbers that help people achieve their Dreams through Real Estate. “– Jake Wade
