Jovanta Verdun / Mortgage Loan Originator NMLS*2260338*

My name is Jovanta Verdun and I am a licensed Mortgage Loan Officer in Virginia, Licensed Realtor and Mentor.

Starting my career I didn't have the best of luck getting deals , My first few months weren't exactly what I expected. I learned through what I didn't do and what I could improve on. I Tried multiple avenues until I found the right path for myself to take and have been prospering since. Along the way I had a great mentor Mark Price who taught me so much and only asked in return "I pay it forward for the next generation of realtors."  Present day I've had the pleasure of Mentoring 4 mentees and intend to spread my book of knowledge to so many more ambitious starting Realtors & Lenders.

I personally don't think there is any secret key to success in this business. Everyone's path will be different but us finding yours and emphasizing it over time will be my goal. Becoming a successful realtor can be one of the most satisfying feelings in the world. I hope to hear from you soon so we can get you started!
