For Jon Goldman, mortgage lending is about more than just the deal — it’s about the “American Dream.” With over a quarter-century of experience in lending, Goldman understands that while the process is financial, the experience is emotional. This philosophy has earned him the trust of more than 9,000 families and a 96.7% customer loyalty score, while producing over $1 billion in closed transactions over the span of his career.
Consistently recognized in the industry with accolades such as “Lender of the Year” by Chicago Agent magazine and Mortgage Executive magazine’s list of the top 1% of mortgage originators in the U.S., Goldman blends high-volume efficiency with high-touch communication. He doesn’t just get clients to the finish line; he ensures they arrive there with total confidence. He believes the key to his success is due to his dedication to speed, execution, certainty and accountability on every transaction. That’s why he’s earned the coveted Chairman’s Circle designation for the last seven years and has been a President’s Club member for over 15 years.
When he isn’t securing market-leading results for his clients, Goldman is an active voice in the industry through his podcast “Mining for Gold,” where his aim is to educate consumers about the mortgage process, while incorporating life stories featuring high- caliber guests. Goldman has also been a dedicated advocate for concussion awareness via his advisory role with the Concussion & CTE Foundation for the last five years. He has recently focused considerable efforts on raising funds and awareness for Blood Cancer United’s research initiatives after his son was diagnosed with a non-Hodgkin Lymphoma just over two years ago. Goldman is the consummate family man, and often his clients and colleagues become an extension of his own family.
