Jason Jean
Loan Officer
Jason Jean has been helping clients purchase homes and refinance since 2005. He graduated from the University of MA, Amherst with a Bachelor of Science in Biology in 2001, and became a high school math and science teacher, as well as a coach. In 2005 he decided to leave teaching and took his passion for helping others into the field of mortgages. Since then he has helped thousands of people buy homes or refinance. Too busy to do it all on his own, he started The Jean Group in 2014. Since then, The Jean Group has been a team of mortgage loan officers serving the lending needs of homeowners and home buyers in Massachusetts & Connecticut. The hands-on approach helps every client understand the mortgage process while feeling like they are right by their side each step of the way. Just recently Jason and his team have joined forces with Movement Mortgage on Main Street in Agawam to combine the values and service they’ve brought to their clients for years with Movement’s streamlined, efficient operations and a variety of new available loan programs! Movement’s commitment to love and value our customers, along with a focus on customer service are the reasons The Jean Group has made the decision to team up with them. It’s pretty much a match made in Heaven. In his spare time, Jason cherishes the time he spends with his family and most likely if he isn’t working, he’s with them. He enjoys getting outdoor and away from technologies, experiencing nature and being simplistic.
Michael Allen
Loan Officer
Mike joined The Jean Group in 2018. He graduated from UCONN in 2008 with a B.A. in Psychology. After briefly exploring the life insurance business, Mike began his career as a lender at a credit union. He quickly worked his way up to Loan Manager. After his 8-year tenure, Mike realized the limitations credit unions have and his desire to be able to help a wider spectrum of clients caused him to look for alternative solutions. He found The Jean Group and it was an instant match. Mike brings great knowledge of the industry paired with great customer service. He is eager to walk you through the mortgage process and get you into your dream home or refinance clients who wish to save more money!!!
Taylar Trohon
Loan Officer
Taylar’s journey in the mortgage industry began as a loan opener and front desk clerk. She was instantly attracted to the fast-paced field. She spent about one year in that position before transitioning to her role as a processor. There, she was able to expand her knowledge of the loan process from start to finish and demonstrate her strengths in time management, organization and attention to detail. With her experience in operations, she decided to pursue a career in the customer-facing side of the industry. Taylar took the mortgage licensing course, quickly passed the exams and joined The Jean Group in record time. Before starting in the mortgage industry, Taylar attended Quinnipiac University where she earned her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Business. She spent time in the psychology field working as a social worker and exploring graduate school opportunities. She loved that she could apply her interpersonal and analytical skills that she developed while working in the psychology field to the mortgage business. Taylar is beyond happy to be part of The Jean Group helping individuals and families achieve their dreams of homeownership. She has experience with a wide range of loan programs such as Conventional, FHA, VA and USDA. Whether you are looking to buy your first home, your next investment property or refinance, Taylar will be there with you through every step of the process! When she isn’t working, Taylar loves being outdoors, spending time with her family, and breaking a sweat in the gym.
