I started my voyage in the mortgage industry in 2002 and have worked in almost every facet of the business (Retail, Wholesale, Management). For the last 19 years my mission has been simple: Make sure that every single one of my clients feels like I have exceeded even their expectations and add value to the stress-free, and dare I say “fun” home buying experience that the realtors I partner with work so hard to provide their clients.
In addition being constantly available for my clients and business partners, I have found that the key to my success over the years has been having great communication skills, a tireless work ethic and simply being someone people can depend on.
I enjoy spending time with my 3 children; Matthew, Joshua and Jade. Almost every second of my long days are accounted for, as I am also a baseball coach at the youth, high school and collegiate level right here in Central Florida.

JACQUELYN WATSON-RODRIGUEZ
EXECUTIVE LOAN PARTNER NMLS ID: 2027598
Originally from Melbourne, FL, Jacquelyn went to the University of South Florida where she received a B.A. in Psychology & B.S. in Behavioral Healthcare. In 2014, she moved to CO to pursue her M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Northern Colorado, where she met her husband.
Having a passion for travel & living in different states, Jacquelyn & her husband moved to Orlando, FL together in 2017, where they spent a few years exploring new career opportunities, got married and grew their family of 6 pups. Wanting a change of scenery and a home with more land, they eventually moved to Raleigh, NC in January of 2020. Unfortunately, a month after moving, COVID hit and they were quarantined in a state without any friends or family. However, a blessing in disguise occurred when the mortgage broker that helped them with their NC mortgage, posted a position for an administrative assistant. Having enjoyed her experience with the company and having an interest to learn about the mortgage world, Jacquelyn reached out to the owner and ended up working her way from an admin to a Licensed Senior Loan Partner over the span of 2 years – the 1st year being in the NC office and the 2nd being remote from Sanford, FL. Although Jacquelyn was grateful she was able to work remote while being back home closer to family, she knew she would be happier long term in an office setting, and that’s when she sought out a position at Florida Home Loans. When she’s not spending time with her husband and now 5 pups (RIP Duke), she enjoys cooking dinner for friends & family, reading fiction novels, going to Magic Kingdom & Epcot, and relaxing by the pool.
