Originally from the beautiful coastal town of Dorado, Puerto Rico, Jared Cruz is passionate about helping Veterans, active-duty service members and military families achieve the dream of homeownership. Before becoming a Loan Officer with Veterans United Home Loans, he built a successful career as a REALTOR®, giving him firsthand insight into every stage of the homebuying process. Combined with more than 15 years of experience in sales and finance, he brings the knowledge, communication and dedication needed to help borrowers confidently navigate one of life's biggest decisions.

Jared is committed to making the VA home loan process as simple and stress-free as possible. He believes every client deserves honest guidance, personalized service and a trusted advocate from the first conversation through closing day. Helping those who have served our country isn't just his job—it's a privilege he takes to heart.

Outside of work, Jared enjoys spending time with his wife, Melanie, and embracing the outdoors. Whether he's hiking, biking, camping, traveling or island hopping, when he gets a chance, he loves creating lasting memories with family and friends. Growing up in Puerto Rico instilled in him a deep appreciation for community, meaningful relationships and the importance of feeling at home—values he carries into every interaction with his clients.
