Who am I?

My name is Jean Gallagher. Since 1990, I have been helping creative people in entertainment and tech better their financial position in life using real estate and mortgages as the vehicle.

Who I Help.

Because I understand that many borrowers in entertainment and tech can have confusing income streams, these loans carry their own set of challenges for lenders, I work one-on-one with borrowers mostly who are in these creative fields.

My Story

My love affair with real estate finance began in 1982. I worked as a stockbroker for Dean Witter (Morgan Stanley) in Beverly Hills, focusing mostly on selling Real Estate Limited Partnerships.

When I realized the General Partners were the ones making all the money, I left the securities industry and formed my own small partnerships. My mortgage broker for my construction loans told me he loved originating mortgages and couldn’t imagine ever doing anything else.

After building two 10-unit apartment buildings, I realized being a developer was not for me. Time to make another change, and remembering what my mortgage guy said, I became a mortgage broker myself.

I opened my company in 1990 and have never looked back. I had finally found my “home”.

I went on to buy many small apartment buildings and houses as investments and learned what to do and definitely what not to do.

In addition, during the financial crisis of 2008, I did not cut and run. Although I was hit as hard as everyone else, I stayed the course.

Working with Me - What’s in it for You

Because of my lengthy financial and real estate background, you don’t just get a mortgage – you get advisor and the benefit of my history.

Most Loan Originators are first and foremost salespeople. I am first and foremost a financial analyst and advisor.
