Joshua Nielsen-Mayer Has Been Recognized Among the Top in His Industry by the Expert Network©

Denver, CO, February 4, 2016 (Newswire.com) - ​​​​​​​​​​​Joshua Nielsen-Mayer​, Owner and Mortgage Loan Originator, Five Star Financial LLC, has joined The Expert Network, an invitation only service for distinguished professionals. Mr. Nielsen-Mayer​ has been chosen as a Distinguished Mortgage Broker™ based on peer reviews and ratings, dozens of recognitions, and accomplishments achieved throughout his career.

Nielsen-Mayer​ outshines others in his field due to his extensive industry experience, recognitions, and career longevity. He has been a mortgage broker since 2002. He currently is the owner of Five Star Financial LLC​​ in Denver, Colorado. Previously he served as a Branch Manager for People’s Home Equity, the Regional Vice President for Heartland Home Finance, and as a Loan Production Manager with First Mortgage Corporation.

"I feel very strongly that people pay too much for their houses. The fact that the interest rate is higher or lower is nothing compared to the fact that they're paying interest on their house for thirty years. You buy a house for $350,000 and you can wind up paying over $700,000. Americans are too focused on their 401ks and IRAs. More than their retirement funds, the first priority people should have is to opt for a fifteen-year fixed mortgage and stop managing their debt around what your mortgage payment is on a thirty year fix."

With 14 years dedicated to the mortgage industry, Nielsen-Mayer​​​​​ brings a wealth of knowledge to his industry. After fifteen years working in retail he knew that his career needed a change. When asked what inspired him to make the switch into the mortgage industry, Nielsen-Mayer​​​​​ said:

"Working in retail you’re always telling a customer what they want to hear. You’re always listening to their complaints, telling them they are right, and catering to them regardless of how obscene they are. I realized I needed to shift my mindset. I know there’s a reality to things and then there are opinions. That pushed me towards being more forward with how I felt and wanting to bring up the things that are hard to talk about.

Nielsen-Mayer has been named a Five Star Mortgage Professional two years in a row and has been ranked in the top 5% of mortgage brokers nationwide.​ As a leader in his industry, Nielsen-Mayer understands how to get the best value for his clients. He notes that people can save the most money by choosing a fifteen-year fixed rate mortgage:

"I feel very strongly that people pay too much for their houses. The fact that the interest rate is higher or lower is nothing compared to the fact that they’re paying interest on their house for thirty years. You buy a house for $350,000 and you can wind up paying over $700,000. Americans are too focused on their 401ks and IRAs. More than their retirement funds, the first priority people should have is to opt for a fifteen-year fixed mortgage and stop managing their debt around what your mortgage payment is on a thirty year fix. Because everyone is held hostage to their mortgage payments. And that cycle is never going to end until people start paying off their mortgages. I know that’s the right thing to do, and I know in fifteen years they’ll look back and realize it was the best decision they ever made."

Nielsen-Mayer attributes his success to hard work and his honest, empathetic approach that he says allows him to build long-term fulfilling relationships with his clients, something that sets him apart from other loan originators in his industry.

Nielsen-Mayer is registered with the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System & Registry (NMLS)​ with the identification number ​18654​.
