EPISODE 023: Mortgage Broker Interview: Barry & Gleason Jones (Part 1 of 2)
Categories: Mortgage Broker Interview,
Description & Show Notes: In this episode, I share an interview Barry & Gleason Jones of Cross Country Mortgage in Auburn. Barry has been in the mortgage business in Auburn for a long time, and his son Gleason is following in his footsteps. Actually, Gleason worked for me one summer, about a year before I sold all of my apartments. He was a hard worker then, and I'm sure he is still a hard worker now.
