With a solid track record spanning over 21 years in the mortgage industry, Jay Dacey stands out as a leader and an innovator. As the head of Jay Dacey Mortgage Team and a valued mentor at The Loan Atlas, Jay has made a significant mark with his in-depth knowledge and practical approach to mortgage lending, achieving an impressive $500 million in loan origination volume.

Jay’s approach is holistic; he does not just process loans but educates clients on how to leverage them to improve their financial health, aiming for long-term wealth. His foundation was built at the University of Saint Thomas, where he majored in Finance and Entrepreneurship. From there, Jay quickly rose through the ranks in the mortgage industry, from a loan originator to a branch manager and eventually to a trusted mortgage advisor. His ability to guide families towards financial stability has earned him a stellar reputation.

2019 marked a new chapter for Jay with the establishment of his own brokerage, The Jay Dacey Mortgage Team, which caters to clients across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Florida. His company, now a leading firm in Minnesota, is known for prioritizing exceptional customer experiences, thanks to Jay's focus on problem-solving, clear communication, and reliability.

Jay’s expertise hasn’t gone unnoticed. Since 2014, he’s been recognized as a top mortgage professional by the Twin Cities Business Journal/MSP magazine and is a go-to source for outlets like CBS News, CNBC, and Yahoo Money. His skills in database management and implementing efficient loan processes are exactly why he's a perfect fit for mentoring at The Loan Atlas.

Away from mortgages, Jay’s life is rich and full. Living in Roseville, MN, with his family, Jay's interests outside of work—including running, boating, and coaching his kids' basketball teams—reflect his dynamic approach to life. He's also on a mission to explore all 50 states with his family, combining personal adventures with opportunities to connect with The Loan Atlas community.
