Mike Conn

Branch Leader | Mortgage Advisor

As a Branch Leader and Mortgage Advisor with NEO Home Loans, I’m passionate about helping clients build generational wealth through education, strategy, and personalized mortgage solutions. I lend in all 50 states and specialize in creating financial clarity—empowering families to make confident, informed decisions about homeownership and long-term financial success.

Outside of helping clients, I’m a proud husband to my amazing wife, Kelly, and a dad to our daughter, Lucy. Our family also includes a black lab named Kaia and a cat named Tux. When I’m not guiding clients toward financial freedom, you’ll find me skiing, golfing, mountain biking, riding ATVs/motorcycles, or working on my property. I also love spending time at the pool or lake with family and friends.

I absolutely love what I do—and my clients can feel that the moment we start talking.

Jason Baron

Mortgage Advisor

Before becoming a Mortgage Advisor, I have had personal experience purchasing investment properties. With that experience I understand the opportunities and challenges that come with building wealth through real estate. That perspective helps me guide clients through every step of the homebuying process — whether they’re first-time buyers, veterans using VA benefits, or seasoned purchasers looking to grow their portfolio.

I take pride in providing clear communication, genuine guidance, and a service experience built on trust. For me, helping families achieve their homeownership goals isn’t just a career — it’s a calling.
