Agent Profile

Known on social media as The Kayaking Mortgage Agent, Jerry Schindelheim has built a unique personal brand by combining expert mortgage advice with his passions for kayaking, motorcycling, and his Mustang. What began as a creative social media idea became a powerful way to connect authentically with clients and make mortgages more approachable.

Behind the adventure is a seasoned mortgage professional with a strong background in the financial services industry. Jerry spent many years at major financial institutions, holding senior roles including Senior Personal Banker and Senior Financial Services Manager, where he delivered comprehensive financial solutions built on trust and clarity.

Driven by a desire to offer a more personal, client-first mortgage experience, he chose to focus exclusively on mortgages. Today, he works with over 50 lenders, allowing him to design transparent, flexible mortgage strategies tailored to each client’s unique needs.

Jerry’s approach is simple: educate first, advise honestly, and always act in the client’s best interest. He empowers clients with clear information, plain-language explanations, and confident guidance from application to closing.

Married for 26 years and a proud father of three, he believes relationships matter more than transactions—and that belief is reflected in every client's experience.

Adventure on the water. Precision in mortgages.
Customers First. Always.
