PANELISTS:

Jay Voorhees: Co-founder and Owner of JVM Lending
Jay Voorhees has been in the mortgage industry for almost 30 years – having originated over $1 billion in residential mortgages as an independent loan officer before launching JVM Lending with his wife, Heejin Kim, in 2006.  JVM has since funded over $6 billion of additional mortgages while expanding into Texas, Arizona, and Massachusetts – but keeping its roots firmly planted in the Bay Area.  JVM is unique for its no-loan-officer model, extraordinarily rigorous hiring standards, exceptional speed, low rates, and near obsession with any technology that can lower costs or improve the client experience.

Anthony Young: Owner of Young & Associates, Realty Valuation & Consulting
Anthony has been a leader in the appraisal industry for over 20 years and has helped facilitate the appraisal process for tens of thousands of people through the valuation process. He is a nationally known speaker who marries data science with the art of real estate and is the founding VP of the Eastbay Chapter of REAA (Real Estate Appraisers Association).

Roh Habibi: REALTOR® and Industry Contributor
With a background in finance and wealth management, Roh can leverage his knowledge of tax and estate planning to expertly guide clients through the real estate investment process and safeguarding their wealth. He has been a sought-after contributor for the Wall Street Journal, CNBC, MSNBC, Fox Business, Inman News, Bloomberg, the New York Times, Fortune, Architectural Digest, and others. 

Lynda Dimond: Certified Residential Specialist, Broker and Leadership Training Graduate WCR
After a career in education, Lynda joined the real estate profession in 1989 and has been with her current brokerage for over 20 years. Born in England, she has adopted the slogan, “Real estate is my cup of tea!” She specializes in selling single-family homes and working with first-time homebuyers in the Contra Costa area and believes that “you get by giving.”
