About Jason Slaughter
When you’re making one of the biggest investments of your life, you want to work with someone you can trust. As your lender, I’ll always have your back.
My extensive experience spans a wide range of loan products, ensuring I can find the perfect fit for your financial goals. While I take pride in supporting VA buyers, I'm passionate about empowering all clients to navigate the homebuying process with confidence.
Exceptional service is a core value. Being recognized by Scotsman's Guide as a top 1% loan originator in 2020 and 2021, and Fitzgerald Company's achievement of #1 customer satisfaction in 2020 and #2 in 2021, reinforces that commitment. But for me, the biggest reward lies in client satisfaction.
Here's the key: buying a home can be complex. That's why I strive to create a streamlined and positive experience. Think of me as your personal mortgage dude who prioritizes clear communication and a touch of fun.
As a local lender in Columbia for over 25 years, my wife Wendy and I are deeply invested in the community. Raising our two children here has provided me with a deep understanding of the local housing market. Furthermore, working with an in-house team ensures your loan closes quickly and on time.
Ready to embark on your homeownership journey? I'm here to make it a smooth and enjoyable process. Let's connect!
