Last year, Jan helped me out of a serious predicament. I had been renting a funky little house with a view of Lake Travis, perfect for my daughter and me. But my landlord's restaurant failed, and he couldn't make the house payments. He offered to let me buy it for what he owed, so I went to my bank. Despite the low asking price and my 680 credit score, they wouldn't give me a mortgage.
I was already starting to pack, wondering where I could ever find such a great place to live, when a friend told me about Jan. She took a comprehensive look at my situation and researched loan programs, going to great lengths to keep my spirits up when one after another didn't work out. I expected to be offered an outrageously expensive loan, but she managed to find one that was affordable for me. A year later, I'm a homeowner with a great tax deduction as well as the security of a wonderful place to live. I highly recommend Jan to anybody who wants to find the best mortgage for their unique circumstances.

As a real estate broker, I became acquainted with Jan Hill during her association with a major mortgage lending firm. When we met, I was marketing condominium properties for an investment partnership. I had received offers for individual units in that complex under FHA financing, but the condominium documents in place for that project did not comply with FHA guidelines. Jan went out of her way in helping to analyze these documents and implement required changes to facilitate FHA financing on that project. I quickly saw that she possessed both the expertise and the willingness to “go the extra mile” to meet her clients’ needs. Since that time, I’ve referred many clients to her with positive results.
Last year, I received a call from a past client in serious financial difficulty . I asked Jan to meet with them to discuss their situation and possible courses of action. In doing so, she helped them understand their situation more clearly and assisted them in formulating a game plan to work through their situation. After they were able to get their property sold, Jan was able to secure remarkably competitive financing for their new, more affordable home, despite their damaged credit. And, she again went “the extra mile” to ensure that things went smoothly for them, despite the difficulty of the situation.
I can’t recommend Jan Hill highly enough, both as a mortgage lender and as a person. She has my utmost professional and personal respect.

When I decided to move back to my home state of Texas, I had been gone over 20 years. I searched on the internet and found Jan Hill. From the first email, our first phone call to finally an in-person meeting, she was always Texas-friendly and professionally perfect for what I needed. Jan was critical to my success in purchasing my first home here in Austin. She was calm, reassuring and confident that everything would work out well because with all her experience, she knows this business. She reviewed all my financials and even without having a local job in-hand (yet), Jan was instrumental in getting my loan approved and closed within 25 days. This is particularly amazing because all this was done while I was in still in California.

When I arrived in Texas, all I had to do was show up and sign because of Jan’s diligence in the loan process. Because of her great service and attention to detail, it was a hassle-free experience. . She is the only mortgage broker I would ever personally and confidently recommend for the mortgage loan process. She has already helped others I have referred to her with fabulous results. She has been a great professional resource who also happens to be a great friend.
