Motocross is “a timed motorcycle race over a closed course consisting of a winding dirt trail with hills, jumps, sharp turns, and often muddy terrain” (Dictionary.com). For first-time home buyers and others seeking a home loan, the process can seem just like that: a race against time on an unpredictable, bumpy, winding path through the muck and mire of anxiety and doubt.

Fortunately for top lender in Georgia Jason Adams’ clients, not only is he a Senior Mortgage Banker on the Silvia Taylor Team at Fidelity Bank Mortgage in Alpharetta, Georgia, he is also an experienced motocross competitor. Success at both takes a special level of knowledge and skill, studying the course in advance in order to plan one’s options to get to the finish line. The only difference, he will tell you, is that mortgage lending is not a race but a means to achieving a greater goal.

Jason’s motto is, “Making home ownership a reality, one loan at a time.” This requires client care that is personalized, educational, honest, solutions-oriented, and as predictable and stress-free as possible. And, it can’t be haphazardly rushed. Jason navigates clients and referral partners through the terrain by being highly communicative, accessible and patient at every point along the way.

In fact, even when potential sharp turns, jumps or hills to climb present themselves, top lender in Georgia Jason Adams insists on working through them if he can’t work around them. “I deliver bad news as well as I deliver good news,” he says, explaining that he presents a solution for every problem that may arise. He understands the importance of managing clients’ and agents’ expectations from the beginning of the process. That’s why he and his team under-promise and over-deliver, and their final closing numbers are consistently better than expected.

As a result, top lender in Georgia Jason Adams frequently witnesses the excitement that comes when loans close. “I love helping people achieve homeownership – their enthusiasm and overall happiness.” This, he adds, comes one loan at a time. Although Jason services all types of home loans, he specializes in new construction. His area of service is all of Georgia but primarily Cherokee and Gwinnett counties.

He got into the business in 2005. Because of his penchant for motocross racing since childhood, he worked at a motorcycle dealership handling sales and financing. He noticed a friend in the mortgage business was making a better living, so he decided to take what he had already learned into this new industry. He recalls being terrified at first, but his friend was very helpful with training.

Jason first worked for a subprime shop as a broker. When the downturn hit, for the next five years the joke around the office was, “We better get really good at playing cards!” He says it got really tough but, “It’s easy to be strong when you have no other choice but to weather the storm.”When the new industry regulations entered in, by 2010 Jason transitioned from broker to banker, becoming a purchase-oriented loan officer at Sun Trust Mortgage. Then, when the head of Sun Trust left, Jason followed him to Fidelity Bank Mortgage. Coming into Fidelity in August 2013, his production was between $18 million and $20 million. It grew in 2014 to $28 million and then to $44 million in 2015. He is a Top 10 producer for Fidelity for the last two years and is a member of the Mortgage Bankers Association of Georgia.

Jason and his wife enjoy spending time outdoors with family and friends. A thrill seeker, Jason enjoys jet skiing, hiking with his three dogs, and mountain biking, and is actively involved with SORBA-Woodstook advocating for off-road cycling development and trail maintenance in Cherokee County. Before his son entered the U.S. Army, they would travel together to motocross competitions.
