Meet Jorge J. Alanis
I'm Jorge — born and raised in the Rio Grande Valley, and genuinely proud of it. This is my home, my community, and the place I've built my entire career around. I didn't get into mortgages by accident. I came up through real estate first, working as a licensed REALTOR® and learning this market street by street, neighborhood by neighborhood, from Brownsville all the way to McAllen. That background changed how I see lending — because I don't just process loans, I understand what's behind them.
When you sit down with me, you're not getting a script. You're getting someone who has walked properties, read contracts, and been on both sides of a closing table. I know what builders are offering, which programs actually work for first-time buyers in the Valley, and how to position your credit so you hear "yes" instead of "not yet." My job is to make you feel informed, not overwhelmed — and to be available when you actually have questions, not just during business hours.
I work with all kinds of clients: families buying their very first home, investors expanding their portfolio, and people who've been turned down elsewhere and don't know where to go. That last group especially. Because I've seen what happens when someone is told "no" by a bank that doesn't understand this market — and I've seen the look on their face when we find a way through. That's why I do this. Hablo Español. Siempre disponible.
The Realtor Background. The Mortgage Depth. Both.
Most lenders only know one side of the transaction. Jorge has lived both — and that changes everything about how he advises his clients.
I See the Deal From Both Sides
Before originating a single mortgage, Jorge was a licensed REALTOR® serving buyers and sellers across the RGV. He's negotiated contracts, toured hundreds of homes, and navigated competitive offers — all in a market most outside lenders don't fully understand.
That means when you come for a loan, he's not just running numbers. He's thinking about what the home is worth, what the builder is offering, and whether the deal makes long-term sense for your financial future.
Backed by a Name the Valley Trusts
As a Residential Mortgage Loan Originator with Willow Bend Mortgage — one of Texas's most respected lenders since 1993 — Jorge has access to a full suite of programs: Conventional, FHA, VA, USDA, Jumbo, Non-QM, and more.
He works alongside seasoned veterans like Johnny Esquivel, which means you get the depth of a high-performing team with the personal attention of someone who answers their own phone. No hand-offs. No runaround.
