About Jeff Brother
About Me:
Born and raised in the St. Louis, MO area, I’m a proud alumnus of Southeast Missouri University. My career trajectory began in 1993 with a management training stint at Albertson’s Grocery in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. By 26, I was overseeing a multi-million dollar grocery store with a team of over 120 dynamic professionals.
In 2002, a fortuitous Thanksgiving encounter introduced me to the mortgage industry. Starting 2003, St. Louis became my base where I dived deep into mortgage services. Over the past two decades, I’ve held multiple roles ranging from Loan Officer to EVP of Sales and Marketing for a startup. Currently, I’m enjoying my role as a Branch Manager in the St. Louis Market.
My wife, Dina, and I cherished our time in Frisco, TX between 2015 and 2023 but are now delighted to be back home in Dardenne Prairie. Married for almost 11 years, our family wouldn’t be complete without our two furry companions, Cosmo and Charlie. Outside of work, Dina and I are avid St. Louis Cardinal and STL Blues fans. Personally, I relish live concerts, golf, biking, and serene walks to de-stress.
My Professional Philosophy:
My boutique approach enhances agility and effective team leadership. We’re committed to expanding our presence, particularly in MO, KS, TX, and GA, where I’ve cultivated strong relationships over the years.
I hold licenses in MO, KS, IL, TX, GA, FL, CO, MN, TN, and MI, which attests to our expansive reach. Our edge as mortgage bankers lies in our ability to control the entire loan process in-house, from origination to closure.
Our primary focus has always been on home purchase transactions, and we’ve collaborated closely with realtors across the Midwest and Southwest. It’s essential for me to not only be well-versed in mortgage intricacies but to also discern realtors’ needs.

how can i help
My proficiency shines during the initial mortgage consultation. Think of it as a doctor's visit where I assess key financial indicators, such as income, assets, and credit. With over 20 years under my belt, I can often suggest loan options that might elude others. From assisting individuals with non-traditional incomes to investors with varying income proofs, I've seen and helped a diverse clientele.
A common misconception I often address is the need for a 20% down payment on a mortgage. Our goal is to ensure clients remain financially comfortable, offering loan solutions with down payments as low as 3% for first-time buyers.
In the complex world of mortgages, it's imperative to partner with someone knowledgeable. I encourage you to avoid script-readers and choose a Mortgage Advisor who truly understands the nuances of the process. After all, a home is often the most significant asset in one's portfolio. I'm here to ensure it's a well-guarded one.
