In 1996, Mr. Samuels opened the doors of JESCORP FUNDING, which he has owned and operated for 30+ years.
Mr. Samuels has personally trained over 35 employees, providing them with a solid conceptual understanding of all aspects of mortgage loan origination and the necessary applied skills to compete effectively within the mortgage industry.  He has established a reputation as an elite mortgage loan originator and trusted loan referral source for generations of customers and lending industry professionals alike.
In his spare time Jonathan enjoys flying, a competitive game of basketball, or tennis…provided you “got game” against an incredibly fast first serve!
