Jean Gallagher founded Entertainment Mortgage in 1990 with a mission: to help professionals in the entertainment industry achieve homeownership, despite the unique financial challenges they face. At the time, many lenders struggled to understand income structures that didn’t fit the traditional mold—classifying talented, successful individuals as “freelancers” made it difficult for them to qualify for mortgages.
Jean stepped in to bridge that gap, educating lenders on the realities of entertainment industry finances and crafting lending solutions that worked. Thus, Entertainment Mortgage was born.
Over the years, Jean’s expertise has grown to serve a wide range of professionals—beyond entertainment and across industries such as tech, medicine, and more. Every profession comes with its own financial fingerprint, and Jean excels at finding the right mortgage to fit.
Jean is known for delivering what she calls the “star treatment”—a one-on-one, deeply personalized approach to mortgage lending. Clients often say they feel like family. She's available not just during the loan process, but long after closing, ready to answer questions or offer guidance.
Prefer regular updates and full transparency? Jean will walk you through every step. Want to be hands-off and just get a call when it’s done? That works too.
And if refinancing doesn’t make sense for you? Jean will tell you. Honest, clear advice is at the heart of everything she does.
Working with Jean isn’t just about getting a mortgage. It’s about having a trusted partner who’s in your corner for the long run.
