Jeremy Marks is the Owner and Founder of Community Lending of America.

Before founding Community Lending of America in 2007 Jeremy started his journey as a Wildcat at Kansas State University where he earned his bachelor’s degree in economics.  After college Jeremy found himself gaining knowledge and experience from all avenues of the mortgage lending world.

From processing to origination of home loans as well as managing and recruiting, Jeremy and Community Lending of America have continued to make their mark in the Mortgage Lending Industry. He’s been featured in Forbes magazine three times as a top mortgage professional.    In addition, as a recipient of the five-star Mortgage Professional Award for eleven consecutive years, Jeremy is the only one out of 2,768 mortgage professionals to hold this achievement in the Kansas City region. His dedication and passion for helping others in his community has been reflected not only in his professional achievements but also in his personal life where he is inspired by his lovely wife of 18 years and their two beautiful children.

Jeremy finds great personal fulfillment in participating in various causes around Kansas City.  As Jeremy feels a deep connection to his community and enjoys giving back, in 2017 he created his Community Minute video series featuring local non-profit organizations, and in 2020 introduced The Community Beard Project to raise money, spotlight and raise support for local non-profits in the Kansas City area.  This dedication and passion for helping others achieve their dreams has been a staple in his mission and was a driving force when he founded Community Lending of America.

Jeremy, a dedicated leader to his team, a husband and father, he finds true personal enjoyment by combining his family and community. He invests countless hours volunteering for numerous organizations, but none more than the Father’s Club. The Father’s Club is a dad-led, grassroots effort creating simple ways for dads to be intentional with their KIDS, with other DADS, and within their COMMUNITY. When he is not giving back, he enjoys spending time outdoors, golfing, live music, camping, traveling, boating, and spending time at the lake.

For over 20 years Jeremy has continued to specialize in working with business owners, brokers, financial planners, realtors and consumers in order to educate individuals so they may achieve the American dream of homeownership.   He believes that every American should have the opportunity to own a home and feels honored to be able to help others achieve their goals.
