What Jessica's Customers Say About Her
"Jessica did an outstanding job of servicing our mortgage. My wife and I initially reached out to Jessica via email after hours (on a Sunday afternoon) and she responded immediately. We received this gold standard service for the remaining of the time we dealt with Jessica. It should be noted that the cost and schedule of the closing were both better than Jessica initially forecasted. We have and will continue to recommend Jessica and BankSouth Mortgage."

What Jessica's Customers Say About Her
"I would like to share with you that my wife & I have bought over 20 properties together in the last several years, and I met by far the BEST MORTGAGE BANKER we have ever used during our most recent home purchase this past month: Jessica Jakulski. Jessica was extremely helpful and highly responsive throughout the entire mortgage process and did an OUTSTANDING job of taking care of us! As we purchase more properties going forward, we will absolutely be coming back to Jessica and BankSouth again. Thank you to Jessica and BankSouth for a really great home buying experience!"

What Jessica's Customers Say About Her
"I wanted to let you know all know how pleasant it was to work with Jessica Jakulski on the recent purchase of our home. We first started talking to Jessica last fall and she stuck with us through finding the perfect home and answered A LOT of questions throughout the process. We ran into a snag on our appraisal and almost canceled our contract due to underwriting, but Jessica hung in there and helped work everything out so the contract could stay alive. Jessica is very buttoned-up, she streamlined the paperwork process (being a lender is hard when it comes to paperwork!) and was very professional. We wanted to share our positive experience with you – she deserves a big pat on the back I look forward to sending more of my clients to her in the future!"

Ross I.
What Jessica's Customers Say About Her
"I have been connected with Jessica for approximately 2 months for the purpose of securing a new home construction loan. Prior to this connection, I worked with another large financial institution for over 8 months to process this exact same mortgage. Jessica was able to complete this loan process in a very timely and organized manner. I found her to be informed, organized, and well-versed in options that met my needs. She is very pleasant and responsive. In my opinion, BankSouth is an excellent institution due to the performance that is presented. I would highly recommend Jessica to anyone who is in need of a home mortgage or any other type of loan program."

"I just wanted you to be aware of the excellent service I received by your employee Jessica Jakulski in helping me obtain my very first mortgage. As a first time buyer, I had apprehensions, lots of questions, and honestly anticipated dread based on negative experiences shared with me about how daunting the process can be. Jessica was beyond patient with me, answered all my questions, gave great advice, set me at ease, and took a very enthusiastic approach towards assisting me. She really made me feel like a valued customer, provided me with peace of mind and kept me well informed during the approval process. Jessica is an asset to your company, and I just want to make sure her efforts are recognized."
