Get to Know John F. Gillis
With a background in finance and accounting, I joined the PacRes team in August 2021 and am a Certified Mortgage Planner and Mortgage Advisor in Southern California.
With over 25 years of experience in the mortgage industry, I ground my experience and expertise in a 5-star customer experience, walking each client through every step of the mortgage process and providing them with clear and frequent updates.
Helping hundreds of families in San Diego and the surrounding area each year, I know the importance of developing personal relationships and will work with you to create a customized plan of action based on your unique wants, needs, and goals.
When I'm not studying mortgage strategy or helping clients, I'm spending time with my wife and our six kids. We're big fans of sports and the outdoors, so if I'm not coaching one of our kids' teams, we're probably hiking or watching a San Diego Padres or Gulls game. I also enjoy serving our community--for many years, I served as the president of a youth sports league throughout the county of San Diego.
My background in finance and passion for service help me guide clients through the loan process with confidence and clarity. If you're searching for the perfect partner in your home buying journey, I promise to be there every step of the way to guarantee your success and help make your dreams come true!
