Q&A with Jennifer McCranie

What made you decide to be a BankSouth Loan Officer?

I have been in banking for over 10 years. In 2018, I started helping in the mortgage department at the bank where I worked and realized that working with customers to purchase their homes was the most rewarding part of my job.

What is your biggest success professionally? Why was it a big success?

My biggest success professionally was moving companies and stepping out into the unknown to pursue my career strictly in mortgages. The move was a success for me because it helped me grow in my career and become more knowledgeable in the field made for me.

List up to 3 things you enjoy doing on weekends.

I enjoy attending the kids sports games on weekends, spending time with family, traveling to new places and exploring.

If you could be anywhere than your home state, where would you want to be? Why?

I would be on a beach or in the mountains enjoying the sand and water or the cool temps and snow.

Flashback to when you were 10 years old. What do you want to be when you grow up? Why?

At 10, I wanted to be a pediatrician because I loved being around babies.

Mortgage Market Interest Rates

Interest rates for mortgages can vary significantly from one borrower to the next based on the specific details of the transaction. Some of the main factors that affect the interest rate are credit score, down payment or loan-to-value, the type of mortgage, and how long the interest rate is locked.

The information below depicts average rates on a national level. These rates are not specific to BankSouth Mortgage but are provided to give a general idea of where rates are nationally for different loan types. This information is calculated from actual locked rates with customers across 35% of all mortgage transactions nationwide.

This is not a commitment to lend and does not guarantee the availability of any particular product or interest rate. Rates/terms illustrated in the chart may not be available through BankSouth Mortgage. Rates and information in this chart are powered by OBMMI™ (“Optimal Blue Mortgage Market Indices”). The OBMMI™ methodology takes the average rate of all appropriate interest rates locked through the Optimal Blue, LLC (“Optimal Blue”) product and pricing engine (“PPE”) on a given day. No adjustments to the rates that account for buy-up or buy-down decisions made by individuals are performed.

Jennifer is a superb loan officer! When buying a home, she helped us through it all! Jennifer quickly gave us a simple stance on how the loan process would go, making everything go smoothly and efficiently. She got the ball rolling in just a day of meeting her. Jennifer was always on the ball when she received pertinent information; she shared it fast. She ensured we were on track all the time, and as a result, we were able to close earlier than expected, which was fantastic, especially since we were renting and wanted to start paying into our lovely home. Jennifer is also very knowledgeable on the housing market, ensuring the proper available rates are up for grabs; our contract was always, if not doubled, triple-checked, ensuring we have the correct, most advantageous numbers and offers on the table. I could say many great things, but know that you will be in great hands if you go with Jennifer from Bank South Mortgage. She's friendly and professional, making the loan process enjoyable, including addressing concerns and/or talking in general. Jennifer is undoubtedly very knowledgeable about what she does. Our family and I can't thank her enough!

When our family relocated to Valdosta almost two years ago, we needed a loan officer we could trust. On the recommendation of our realtor we went with Jennifer, and I'm so glad we did. Jennifer is knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. She locked in our rate at just the right time and helped us navigate a home purchase with a contingency. She was a voice of calm during what was an incredibly stressful time for us. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking to navigate the challenges of securing a mortgage in the current market. She'll have your back!
