Jon Howard's Story

What I love about working at The Home Loan Expert, is that we really believe that we are more than just a mortgage company. One way to prove it, is that we raise money and awareness for worthy charities by climbing mountains. This particular climb is extremely difficult, and my talents are better served raising money than climbing a mountain in Ecuador! What's awesome is that every climber and The Home Loan Expert cover 100% of the expenses, so that every dollar raised will be directly to St. Jude. I'll match $ for $ up to $1,000!
