Q&A with Jessica Bernstein

What made you decide to be a BankSouth Loan Officer?

I took the leap into the mortgage industry immediately after the housing market crash of 2009. Drawn by the desire to help people accomplish their goals of home ownership, I figured the market could only go up from there… and it sure did!

What accomplishments you’re most proud of?

I am most proud of establishing long standing relationships with real estate agents and clients and increasing my sales volume year after year.

What makes you different than others in your profession?

By employing a hands-on approach, open communication, customer service excellence, and efficiency, I believe in treating every client like they’re my only client. At the end of each transaction, I want everyone to feel knowledgeable and confident in their financing and decision-making.

What do you enjoy doing on weekends?

I enjoy walking my Goldendoodles, Scout and Wallace, playing tennis, and trying new restaurants in Atlanta with my husband, Joe.

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. These indices leverage data from Optimal Blue PPE lock requests (approximately 35% of all locks nationwide) aggregated daily and updated nightly with the previous day’s locks.

Jessica was the best!! She was always a call or text away and answered all of the questions we had. As a first time home buyer, there is a lot to learn and she was very knowledgeable. She helped us get the best deal possible and was quick to get us numbers and find something in our budget. We could not have done this without her and I would highly recommend her to friends!!

Jessica was incredibly knowledgeable, and I felt very confident going through the lending process for my first time. She answered any and all questions I had, and she was great at explaining the information. Jessica was prepared for any scenario, and was able to find an affordable loan for my condo after some options weren’t available. Would recommend Jessica to everyone!

It was not stressful which was the most surprising to me. The process was smooth and not overwhelming. The one thing that I think could be tweaked is the amount of emails you get throughout the process. Its hard to know what of those are important and what you can over look. Just a thought!

Thanks Blair! I loved working with your family!
