About Jared

Im Jared Nicolaisen, a mortgage lender serving homebuyers across Iowa and Minnesota with modern, proactive lending strategies designed for todays market. My mission is simple - to simplify the homebuying process and provide tailored financing solutions that help you feel confident from pre-approval to closing. Whether youre a first-time buyer in Des Moines or Ankeny, or planning your next move in the Twin Cities or Maple Grove, I bring a local understanding of each market and a clear, strategic approach to getting deals done. Through my Elevate Advantage Process, I focus on proactive communication, strategic planning, and a five-star experience from start to finish. I work closely with homebuyers and realtors to make sure every client feels informed, supported, and empowered throughout the journey. Over the past several years, Ive helped hundreds of families across the Midwest navigate affordability challenges, explore creative financing options, and turn homeownership goals into reality. Outside of mortgages, Im passionate about living life to the fullest - youll often find me on the golf course, playing basketball, or spending time with friends and family. Most importantly, Im building an incredible life with my wife, Laura, as we settle into our home and continue building our future together.
