Jarod Sanders is the lending side of Southern Illinois Realty Experts' one-stop shop. As Branch Manager for CrossCountry Mortgage — America's #1 retail mortgage lender — Jarod runs his branch from inside SIRE's Marion office at 1201 W. Main Street, which means SIRE buyers can go from first showing to pre-approval to clear-to-close without ever leaving the building.
Licensed in Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, and Texas (NMLS #2337228), Jarod handles the full menu: purchase loans, refinances, and fast pre-approvals — conventional, FHA, VA, USDA, and everything in between. In a market where well-priced Southern Illinois homes move in days, a same-day pre-approval letter from a local lender who answers his phone is a genuine competitive edge, and it's the standard Jarod's clients expect.
Working shoulder-to-shoulder with SIRE's 23+ brokers and Stratera Title, Jarod's goal is simple: make your mortgage a win. Start your application online any time at Jarod's secure application page, or call him directly at 618.201.4519.
Get pre-approved before you shop — so when the right home hits the market, your offer is ready to win.
Conventional, FHA, VA, and USDA options for first-time buyers, move-up buyers, and investors across four states.
Rate-and-term or cash-out — an honest look at your numbers and whether a refi actually makes sense for you.
