Jared Houston

With nearly a decade of experience in the financial sector, I bring a strong background in both banking and mortgage lending. After graduating from Tennessee Technological University and spending several years in Cookeville, I now call Crossville, TN home, where I enjoy being close to family. Outside of work, I’m an avid reader of non-fiction and enjoy staying active at the gym. Currently, I’m proud to be part of Veterans Lending Group, a nationwide mortgage lender that has been dedicated to serving military families since 2000. Our team has educated over 500,000 military families on maximizing their VA home loan benefits and is committed to guiding them through every step of the homebuying journey. With an average loan closing time of just 22 days, we’ve closed over 22,000 loans totaling $8.6 billion in the last five years alone—85% of which were VA loans. I’m passionate about making the homeownership process smooth and accessible, especially for those who have served our country. If you’re looking for guidance on VA loans or the homebuying process, I’m here to help!
