Hi, I’m Jolie Godfrey. I’ve been in the mortgage industry for 22 years, and I’m grateful every day that I get to help people through such an exciting milestone in life. I’m someone who truly values relationships, and I love getting to know the people I work with—not just their paperwork.
I’ve been married to my husband, Justin, for 22 years, and we’ve built a life we’re really proud of together. We have two kids, Kayla and Lane, and I’m also a proud grandmother to my grandson Kince, Judd and my granddaughter Bonnie. They are such a big part of my world and keep life full of love, laughter, and a whole lot of fun.
My faith is a big part of who I am, and it guides the way I live, love, and show up for others. I truly believe in doing things with honesty, kindness, and purpose, and I’m thankful for the blessings in my life and the people I get to serve.
When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me at home on the farm, taking care of our animals—cows, chickens, and our dogs, including my two weenie dogs who run the place and keep me entertained daily. Farm life keeps me grounded, and it’s honestly my favorite way to recharge.
Hi, I’m Emily Gunn, and I am a Loan Officer Assistant to Jolie. For the past four years, I’ve worked closely alongside Jolie. Her mentorship shaped my foundation in this industry and instilled the guidance and confidence that continue to inform how I serve our clients today. I love keeping the loan process organized, clear, and moving smoothly. I take pride in managing the details, answering questions, and making the loan process as simple and stress-free as possible for our clients. My goal is to make clients feel confident and supported from start to finish.
Outside of work, I value faith, connection, and the simple joys of life. I enjoy reading, singing, spending time with family and friends, and unwinding at my secluded farmhouse with my Vizsla, Hazel—often with a book on the front porch. This balance helps me bring patience, care, and intention into everything I do for our clients and our team.

Hi, I’m Jewels Westra! I’m Jolie’s personal assistant and the Marketing Manager for our team, making sure everything stays organized, on track, and running smoothly both behind the scenes and online.
​
One of my favorite parts of what I do is getting to know each and every borrower. You’re not just another home loan to us, we truly care about your journey to achieving homeownership. I make it a priority to ensure our borrowers feel informed, supported, and confident every step of the way. There’s nothing better than finally meeting everyone at the closing table and celebrating such a huge milestone together.
​
Outside of work, I live in Huntsville, Texas with my black lab and my partner for life. I love spending time with family, weight lifting, and going hunting. My faith as a follower of Jesus Christ is a big part of who I am and how I approach both life and work.

I’m so grateful to be part of this team and to help people turn the dream of homeownership into reality
