The people who actually do the work

A mortgage is not one person. Knowing who handles what, and who is going to call you, is part of not feeling lost in the process.

Jackson Morrell

Jackson Morrell

Loan Officer AssistantNMLS #2710234

Jackson joined Strategic Mortgage Advisors as an intern during college and came on full-time after earning his degree from Georgia Southern University in 2026.

Before closing, he is the one keeping your file moving. He orders the appraisal, title work, and verifications, chases the documents underwriting asks for, and reviews every Closing Disclosure for accuracy before it reaches you.

After closing, he is the one who stays. You will hear from Jackson at 7 days, 30 days, 6 months, and every year after. He is not calling to sell you anything.
