About Jeff Pappenfus

I have been a trusted Mortgage Consultant, having advised over 2000 clients, while funding nearly a half a billion dollars in mortgage loans, over the span of my 33 year career.  That success has it’s foundation built upon a mission statement that I have honored with each and every client I have been blessed to serve.  Simply put, when you endeavor to be chosen as each client’s mortgage consultant for life,  every conversation and action is transformed into an opportunity to meet and exceed my client’s expectations.  

 

This is my promise to you:  Being your Mortgage Consultant for Life is not only my business philosophy, but a life long commitment to providing you with exemplary personalized service, beyond your expectations.  It is also my philosophy to listen, hear and truly understand your needs.  This quality of business conduct seems to have been forgotten in today’s highly automated society.

 

As your Mortgage Consultant, it is my job to not only understand your needs but respond to them promptly, professionally and with integrity.  It is my pledge to provide you with sound financial advice, helping you to understand the strategies of decision making and the future implications of the decisions you make.

 

As your Mortgage Consultant for Life, I feel it necessary to provide all of my clients with a relationship they have grown to trust.  To provide value and service after the transaction so that the changing needs of each of my clients are addressed on a continuous basis.

 

I was born and raised in the Twin Cities and currently reside in Maple Grove with my wife Jill.  As “empty-nesters”, we both have children that live out of state ( three in TN and one in IL ) and one in MN.  This promotes out of state travel to visit them.  In addition, we love spending time up north at the cabin from spring to fall.  These weekend trips are filled with fishing, campfires, boating activities and much laughter.  When winter arrives, the trips change to the condo in Scottsdale where pool-time, hiking, golfing and everything sunshine, is a great reprieve from the cold MN temps!  Jill and I love the outdoors, so the “bucket-list trips” are loaded with National Parks, throughout the great USA!

"I normally don’t give reviews. But on this I absolutely have to. Jeff Pappenfus helped me close a loan giving my children and myself a place to continue on with our lives. Going through divorce and keeping the home where the kids get on and off the bus and play with their friends is priceless. I would recommend Jeff to everyone and will. Hope to stay in touch for a long time. Jeff if you get to read this I can’t thank you enough for all your hard work to help my family stay in their home. "
