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.  As a recipient of the five-star Mortgage Professional Award for 8 consecutive years as well as being highlighted in Forbes Magazine 2 consecutive years, Jeremys 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 15 years and their two beautiful children.  

Jeremy finds great personal fulfillment in participating in various causes around Kansas City.  He is a sponsor of Harvesters Community Food Network, a yearly volunteer for the Habitat for Humanity and is deeply invested in being a regular participant in the major fundraiser for Down Syndrome Guild of Greater Kansas City for the past 8 years.  As Jeremy feels a deep connection to his community and enjoys giving back, in 2019 he created his Community Minute video series featuring local small business and non-profit organizations, and in 2020 introduced The Community Beard Project to 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 enjoys spending time outdoors, golfing, live music, playing frisbee golf, camping, traveling, 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.
