1,400+ five-star Google reviews. $93M funded in 2025. A 5-day close on record. Anyone can call themselves the best mortgage broker in Tampa, so here's the stuff you can check before you take our word for it.
Most people pick a lender because their agent mentioned one, or because it was the first ad on the page. That's how you end up refreshing your inbox on a Saturday, wondering where your clear to close went. Ask these first.
Every licensed mortgage company and loan originator has one. Look it up on NMLS Consumer Access before you send a single pay stub. If someone gets cagey about it, you've learned plenty.
Volume tells you how many files someone has closed. Recency tells you they're still closing them well. A slick website with 15 reviews mostly tells you someone hired a good designer. That's a different skill.
Two different questions, and you want both answers. One lucky fast close doesn't mean much if the usual file drags past a month.
Sellers don't wait for Monday. When the counteroffer lands on a Saturday afternoon, you need someone who answers. Ask it straight: nights and weekends, yes or no?
Tampa has assistance programs, some of them forgivable, that plenty of buyers only hear about after closing. Your broker should bring them up before you start touring homes, not after.
If every call lands with a different voice in a support queue, that's a preview of your closing week. You should be able to reach the person working your file, start to finish.
You've got options in Tampa. Banks, credit unions, app-based lenders, the guy your cousin used in 2019. Finding a lender takes five minutes. Finding one who delivers when the appraisal comes in late on a Friday is the hard part.
14 Days To Close is headquartered at 450 Knights Run Ave Unit 1 in Tampa, and founder Jordan Vreeland has been closing mortgages since 1998. In 2025, the team funded $93 million in loans. That kind of volume doesn't come from one good month. It comes from a process that runs the same way on a busy week as it does on a slow one.
The 1,400+ five-star Google reviews are the number we're proudest of, mostly because we didn't write a single one. Read what Tampa Bay buyers say in their own words.
Support runs 24/7, nights, weekends and holidays included. Deals tend to wobble on Saturdays, and Saturday is a terrible day to get an out-of-office reply.
Headquartered in Tampa, we serve buyers and investors nationwide, everywhere except New York. Around the Bay that means St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Brandon, Riverview, Wesley Chapel and everything in between. Our Tampa mortgage broker page goes deeper on the local market.
Rate gets all the attention. The bigger differences are who answers when something breaks, and how long your file sits in line before anyone looks at it.

Want it lender by lender? We've lined up side-by-side comparisons with the big national lenders.
Jordan has been closing mortgages since 1998. Before he started 14 Days To Close in 2016, he originated at several mortgage companies and ran mortgage divisions for major banks. So he's seen the call-center model from the inside. He built this company to work the other way.
Since founding 14 Days To Close, he's ranked in the top 1% of originators nationally every year, and he's a Scotsman Guide-ranked originator. In 2025, his team funded $93 million in loans.
We're a licensed mortgage broker (NMLS #75243), powered by PRMG, Paramount Residential Mortgage Group, one of the largest privately held mortgage banks in the country. Most files run in-house through PRMG's full product menu. For the rare file that fits better somewhere else, we have broker authority to place it.
He's still available nights, weekends and holidays, and buyers who've been through the process elsewhere tend to notice that first. For the longer story, here's why 14 Days To Close runs differently.
Tampa sellers don't only compare price. They compare how likely each offer is to close. A strong number attached to a lender with a long timeline and a habit of last-minute surprises is a gamble, and good listing agents know it.
The industry average is 30 to 45 days. That's a month or more of the seller sitting off market, hoping nothing on your side breaks. Rates move. Inspections turn things up. And a lender who goes quiet over the weekend can turn a two-day hiccup into a two-week delay.
Our process is built around a 14-day closing timeline. The appraisal gets ordered early, conditions get chased instead of waited on, and you hear from us before you have to ask. When your file is clean and you stay responsive, it moves.
If you've been stuck waiting on a lender that can't deliver, we've closed deals in as few as 5 days. See how fast we move or give us a call.
Start your application and walk into your next offer with a pre-approval that tells the seller something.
Plenty of Tampa buyers find out about these after closing, which is a rough time to find out. Funding, income caps and price limits change, so we check current terms against your file before you count on a dollar.

We could pick three flattering quotes and park them here. You'd be right to squint at that. So here's the whole pile instead: 1,400+ five-star Google reviews on one profile, written by buyers, not by us. Read every review.
We're biased, so here's the checkable version. 14 Days To Close, founded by Jordan Vreeland, has 1,400+ five-star Google reviews, funded $93 million in loans in 2025, and was ranked the #1 mortgage company in Tampa by Three Best Rated for 2025 and 2026. We're a licensed mortgage broker (NMLS #75243), powered by PRMG, with a fastest close on record of 5 days.
Verified Google reviews in real volume, an NMLS number you can look up, a documented closing record instead of a promise, someone who answers on weekends, a full loan menu, and working knowledge of Tampa programs like Dare to Own the Dream, East Tampa CRA and Hometown Heroes.
Look up their NMLS number at nmlsconsumeraccess.org. Check their Google reviews for volume and recency. Ask for their fastest close and what they target on a normal file. Confirm they run the loan you need. Then ask if they do DU Approval before you're under contract. That answer tells you how seriously they take pre-approval.
