Professor Lending

Professor Lending is an independent mortgage broker on South White Street in downtown Wake Forest. Its brokers hold PhDs, which is unusual in the business, and the firm has built its name on it: the team goes by the Mortgage Professors.

Founder Jordan Steffaniak started the company to cut down on the horror stories people tell about buying a home. The firm shops a wide field of lenders on a client’s behalf and covers conventional, FHA, VA and USDA loans along with investor and renovation programs.
