John Carlisle - Senior Mortgage Consultant

"Home ownership is the cornerstone of a strong community."
Rick Renzi

I was raised on a farm in rural Ohio and attended The Ohio State University. I started my career as the general manager of a wholesale pet supply distribution company. After helping to grow this company for 15 years, it was purchased by one of the nation’s largest pet supply companies and I found myself working as a regional manager for the world’s largest producer of premium pet foods. I loved the pet industry, but found that the required travel left, ironically, no time for friends, family, or the very pets who were my ultimate customers. I felt a growing sense of detachment and decided to make a complete career change in order to be able to spend more time with my family. I have now been working in the mortgage industry for five years, and enjoy serving my clients while staying close to home.

After spending time in communities all over the country, I now have the privilege of helping families obtain their new homes in my chosen community of Fort Wayne. I am dedicated to keeping abreast of all the changes in this challenging housing market so that my clients can be certain that they are making the most informed decision possible concerning the financing of their family’s home. I know that one’s home is often their largest asset, both financially and emotionally and I am committed to making the loan process as stress free as possible.

Being a part of Hallmark Home Mortgage gives me the support of the most talented professionals in the mortgage industry. They share my high standards for customer service and work very hard to make the increasingly complex and often daunting loan process move smoothly and quickly.

I come from a very large family and enjoy being able to spend time with my numerous brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews. I always have many ball games, dance recitals, school functions, weddings, graduations, and church events to attend as well as tutoring sessions and impromptu family gatherings.

I am very excited to be a part of Hallmark Home Mortgage and I look forward to the opportunity of earning your trust on your next mortgage transaction.
