Homeownership is a powerful tool for building wealth, and Jason B. Anker has spent over 20 years helping clients navigate the lending process with confidence. As a loan officer at Rate, he draws on his firsthand experience as both a lender and a real estate investor to provide clients with the same strategic guidance he would follow himself.

“I purchased my first property when I was 22 years old. By the time I was 23, I owned two more,” he recalls. “I believe real estate ownership is an imperative part of financial success and stability. I enjoy helping my clients achieve these goals, and I pride myself on only giving advice I would offer myself.”

Anker’s extensive real estate expertise — spanning buying, selling, refinancing, investing, renovating and building — sets him apart in a competitive market. He believes education is key to empowering homeowners. “It’s important homeowners understand their financing, loan process, offer, purchase contract, appraisal and closing costs,” he says. “I take my time to teach people how these things work and why it is important to them and their homeownership.”

Recognized multiple times as a top-one-percent mortgage originator [-by whom?], he is on track to surpass $1 billion in funded loan volume. “I’m honest and a great communicator,” he notes. “I often say, ‘If I wouldn’t do it with my money, you shouldn’t do it with yours.’”

With a business built largely on referrals and strong relationships with Realtors and past clients, Anker has established himself as a trusted mortgage advisor. He believes that preparation, thoughtful planning and the right tools are essential for success in today’s fast-paced market.
