In this episode, Brian and Korbin bring special guest Jen Aalderink with Stockton Mortgage to talk about the market trends, working in the mortgage and housing industry, and of course some under the rug moments in her line of work!
Having over 15 years of experience in the industry, Jen Aalderink enjoys helping families close on their dream home as a mortgage banker at Stockton Mortgage. A valued member of the Grand Rapids team, out of over 100 mortgage bankers, Jen was awarded the David Lewis Award at Stockton Mortgage in 2020 for her strong marketing efforts to build a remote business community and network safely during the pandemic. In addition to her background in mortgage operations and sales-service, Jen’s stand-out roles stem from her involvement in charitable event planning, dedication to community support groups, and her most important title – Mom.
When not closing mortgages, Jen shares her time with her husband and her five children, ages ranging from 9 to 25. She serves as a board member for the Dorr Business Association and is the Vice President of the Sycamore Elementary PTA. In connection with a Facebook Community, “Build Up Women” with which Jen is involved, she helped raise donations for I Support the Girls, a non-profit that collects and distributes essentials items to women experiencing homelessness. Jen also shares her professional and personal experiences through her “momfessional” podcast – Mortgage Mom Connection. Any of her spare time is spent as a chauffer for various school commitments and if she’s lucky, you will find her curled up with a good book or hiking on the weekends.
