Ranked #1 Best Mortgage Company in Tampa.
Two years in a row.

Three Best Rated independently ranked 14 Days To Close as the top mortgage company in Tampa for 2025 and 2026. The selection is based on a verified review of reputation, history, satisfaction, and trust. Not a paid listing. A ranking earned from thousands of documented buyer outcomes.

What to Look for in a Tampa Mortgage Broker

Most buyers pick a lender based on who their agent recommended or whoever came up first on Google. Here's a more useful framework for making that decision.

1
NMLS licensing you can verify

Every licensed Florida mortgage broker has an NMLS number. Check it at nmls.consumeraccess.org before you hand over a single document. If a broker can't produce their number on request, that tells you what you need to know.

2
Verified reviews on Google, not just their own site

Look at total review count, recency, and whether the responses feel genuine. A broker with 1,400+ Google reviews has closed a lot of files. A broker with a polished website and 15 reviews has invested in marketing. Those are two different things.

3
Closing speed, documented rather than claimed

Ask for their fastest close on record and what they target on a typical file. These are different questions. A broker who closed one deal in 8 days and averages 40 isn't the same as one who consistently targets 14. Ask for both numbers.

4
Loan program range

You want access to FHA, VA, USDA, Conventional, Jumbo, and DSCR under one roof. A broker with only one or two programs in their toolkit will fit your file to what they have, not what actually fits your situation.

5
Availability outside business hours

Mortgage deals don't wait for Monday. If your broker doesn't answer on Saturday when the seller needs a decision by Sunday, that gap will show up at the worst possible time. Ask directly: nights and weekends, yes or no?

6
Local DPA program knowledge

Tampa has active down payment assistance programs, some fully forgivable, that most buyers don't hear about until after they've already closed. A broker with genuine local knowledge brings these to the table before you start shopping, not after.

7
Direct access to your actual loan officer

If your questions get routed through a support line or answered by a different person each time, that's a preview of what closing will feel like. You should be talking to the person working your file, start to finish.

Why Tampa Buyers Keep Coming Back

Tampa has no shortage of mortgage options. Banks, credit unions, online lenders, and other brokers all compete for the same buyers. The question isn't whether you can find a lender. It's whether your lender can actually deliver when it matters.

Jordan Vreeland is the founder of 14 Days To Close and a Scotsman Guide-ranked originator based at 450 Knights Run Ave in Tampa. In 2025, the team funded $93 million in loans. That volume is proof of a process that works consistently, not just occasionally.

The 1,400+ five-star Google reviews aren't a marketing number. They're documented outcomes from real Tampa Bay buyers who closed on time, with clear communication, and without the drama that most borrowers expect from the process.

JSYK Jordan's team runs DU Approval upfront for every buyer who qualifies. Desktop Underwriter is Fannie Mae's automated underwriting engine, and getting your file cleared before you're under contract gives your offer a strength that a standard pre-approval letter doesn't. In a market where sellers compare offers side-by-side, this matters.

The team is available nights, weekends, and holidays. That's not incidental. Mortgage processes don't respect business hours, and the deals that fall apart usually do it on a Saturday when no one answers. That's not a problem you'll have here.

14 Days To Close serves all of Tampa Bay including St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Brandon, Riverview, and Wesley Chapel. They also serve all of Florida and clients nationwide, New York excluded.

Jordan Vreeland: Background and Credentials

Jordan Vreeland, founder of 14 Days To Close, Tampa mortgage broker
Powered by PRMG, Paramount Residential Mortgage Group

Jordan Vreeland is the founder of 14 Days To Close and a Scotsman Guide-ranked mortgage originator based in Tampa, Florida. His individual NMLS number is #795404. The company he built holds Florida broker authority under NMLS #1429533 and operates powered by PRMG, Paramount Residential Mortgage Group, one of the largest privately held mortgage banks in the country.

In 2025, Jordan's team funded $93 million in loans. The fastest documented close on record is 5 days. That's not an outlier. It's what happens when a process is built around the buyer's timeline rather than the lender's internal queue.

Jordan runs Desktop Underwriter (DU) Approval upfront for qualifying buyers. Before a buyer makes an offer, their file has already been through Fannie Mae's automated underwriting engine. In a market where sellers are comparing offers side by side, that distinction matters.

He's available nights, weekends, and holidays. That's how he operates. It's also why buyers who've worked with other lenders consistently say the experience is different. For a deeper look at what the team has built, visit the Why 14 Days To Close page.

Why Closing Speed Matters in the Tampa Market

Tampa's resale market is competitive. Sellers reviewing multiple offers don't just compare price. They compare certainty. A buyer coming in with a strong price but a lender who takes 45 days and has a history of last-minute delays is a risk. A buyer who arrives with DU Approval already in hand and a lender with a documented 5-day close on record is a different kind of offer entirely.

The industry average closing time is 30 to 45 days. That means a seller who accepts your offer is sitting off market for over a month, hoping nothing breaks down on your end. That's a lot of goodwill to ask for. It's also a window during which deals fall apart: rates shift, buyers get cold feet, and lenders who can't communicate on weekends create delays that compound.

The 14 Days To Close process is built to shorten that window. Fast appraisal coordination, a team that stays in contact, and a loan officer who doesn't wait to be followed up with. When buyers come in with clean files and stay engaged, the process moves the way it should. We've closed loans in as few as 5 days. That's what's possible when the process is built around your timeline.

If you've been working with a lender that keeps pushing your closing date, see what our documented closes actually look like. Real addresses, real timelines.
