My name is Nak Hoon Jung, proud father of 2 wonderful kids, 14-year-old Sophie and 10-year-old Eli. I am originally from Queens, NY, lived in LA for several years and have lived in the Twin Cities for 12 years now. I am currently a mortgage sales manager for U.S. Bank Home Mortgage and I have been in the mortgage business for 18 years. I have done everything from processing, closing, underwriting, originating and managing. I have helped thousands of families of color through-out my career across the U.S. to become homeowners with the help of local/national down payment assistance so they can purchase a home with very little down payment. I am passionate about educating our POC community about the benefits of homeownership. Not many people know that you can purchase a home for $1,000 with the assistance of down payment assistance, grants and zero interest loans. Growing up in Queens, NY with 1st generation immigrant parents from South Korea, homeownership was a topic that was never talked about and was considered unattainable. After starting in the mortgage business almost 20 years ago, I then realized how easy it was to be able to own a home with the help non-profit organizations that provide education and down payment assistance grants/loans. With our current technology and ease of obtaining information via internet, phone, laptop, etc. it’s still surprising not many know about low-payment being an option to purchase a home. As president, I will do my best to help/educate as many people/organizations to understand home ownership is not just a dream but easily accessible with the right people around you.
