Meet Jordan —
Wake Forest’s own

Jordan founded Professor Lending on a simple belief: homebuyers deserve transparency, education, and a broker who actually fights for them. He holds a PhD and Professor Lending is headquartered in Wake Forest, just south of Youngsville and Franklinton.

As Franklin County keeps growing north of Wake Forest, Jordan’s extended coverage into Youngsville and Franklinton is a natural fit—same approach, same team, just a little further up US-1.

The difference between a broker
and a bank

A bank offers one set of products at their rates. An independent mortgage broker shops the entire market. Professor Lending has access to dozens of wholesale lenders—meaning we find the loan that fits your life, not the loan that fits a quota.

Youngsville and Franklinton sit just north of Wake Forest along the US-1 corridor, and both towns are seeing steady new-construction growth as buyers look further out for affordability.
