Jake Scarbo - Mortgage Banker

Being a dad has taught me that a home is about more than four walls and a roof.

It’s where kids take their first steps, where family traditions begin, and where some of life’s best memories are made.

When it comes to buying a home, the right mortgage strategy can make all the difference. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, growing family, veteran, or investor, I’m here to help make the process simple and stress-free.

A mortgage shouldn’t feel like, “Here’s your pre-approval… good luck”.

It should feel like having a trusted advisor in your corner from start to finish. Someone who listens to your goals, both long and short term. Someone who treats your money as if its their own, and is involved during the entire shopping process 💰

Whether you’re buying, refinancing, or just exploring your options, I’ll help you build a strategy that fits your goals—not just get you approved and hope I see a contract sometime.

2025 was my second full year back into the sales role and the second year I made the Scotsman Guide Top Originator’s List!

I’m very proud of myself for taking a leap of faith when nothing was guaranteed except the adversity of the unknown, and turning it into two successful years.

I’m also proud that, as compared to 2024, almost all of my business transitioned to repeat/referral. That was the goal when I landed at and thanks to top tier leadership, we got there! Thank you to all of my referral partners and clients for the trust 🫡 💰 🔑 🏡

Attending the 50th Anniversary Summit for the Association of Defense Communities (ADC) in Washington, DC was an incredible experience last week — not only because it was my first time in DC 😎 but because it completely broadened my perspective on what “military readiness” means from a community standpoint.

One of the biggest takeaways for me was realizing readiness extends far beyond the installation “fence line”. Communities play an essential role in supporting mission success — not just through family readiness (which is what I’ve been involved in the past 2+ years) but through the bigger-picture issues that directly impact service members and their families every day: housing, infrastructure, child care, workforce development, military spouse support, and overall quality of life.

There was a consistent message throughout the summit: be bold, think differently, take risks, and bring big ideas to the table. We’re in a period of significant change, and communities have both the opportunity and the responsibility to innovate alongside our military installations. One phrase that stuck with me was “hurry up and fail” — meaning don’t be afraid to try new approaches in pursuit of better outcomes for each.

Bravo to the ADC Team for the amazing presentations, panel discussions, and overall flow of the three days 👏 I thought it was cool to hear the Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee speak Tuesday evening.

I left DC energized, inspired, and grateful to be part of conversations focused on strengthening both our communities and our national defense. Excited for what’s ahead. Thank you for the Whiteman Area Leadership Council for investing in my attendance!

Honored to share that earlier this year, I accepted a two-year term as a Director on the Whiteman Area Leadership Council (WALC) Board of Directors.

My journey with the led me to the Whiteman Air Force Base Community Council (BCC), which then to WALC. Now I’m serving on the Board of Directors for all three organizations.

To be clear: my primary career and passion is still helping people with home financing through and

But making a deeper investment into our local and military community has been one of the best decisions I’ve made 🤓

The Mission:
