About Heejin

Heejin Kim is JVM’s founder along with her husband, Jay. Starting with back-office operations in 1989, Heejin has cultivated extensive experience across every facet of the mortgage industry over her 35-year career. By the late 1990s, she had become one of the Bay Area’s top-producing loan officers, and in 1999 she founded her own mortgage company, which grew to more than 50 employees. She sold the company at its peak in 2004 and joined JVM as a partner in 2007, quickly becoming the driving force behind the firm’s systems, processes, and technology initiatives. Heejin’s current focus at JVM is maximizing the effectiveness of client engagement via systems, training, and technology.

Heejin was born in Seoul, Korea, and grew up in Orange County before moving to the Bay Area in 1995. She and Jay now maintain homes in Texas and California. Outside of work, Heejin loves reading history, walking her two dogs, Mike and Steve, cooking, practicing yoga occasionally, going to Pilates when she wants to be tortured, weightlifting, or traveling anywhere she can with her husband – or her daughter when her husband won’t cooperate.
