About PJ Popham
PJ Popham is a friendly, down-to-earth Mortgage Loan Originator at Guaranteed Rate who believes getting a home loan shouldn't feel overwhelming. Starting his mortgage career in February 2024, PJ has already built a reputation for being the guy who listens first, solves problems second, and probably cracks a dad joke somewhere in between. PJ specializes in VA and FHA loans, first-time homebuyers, bank-statement programs, and helping self-employed borrowers navigate the unique challenges of qualifying for a mortgage. His goal is simple: make the loan process clear, stress-free, and tailored to each client's real-life situation. Whether you're buying your first home, refinancing, or figuring out where to start, PJ is your go-to resource for honest guidance, quick communication, and a warm, approachable experience from start to finish. He prides himself on meeting people where they are and finding smart solutions that fit their goals—not forcing them into boxed-up options. When you work with PJ, you're not just getting a mortgage professional—you're getting someone who genuinely cares about making the journey smoother, clearer, and maybe even a little more fun. **Applicant subject to credit and underwriting approval.
