LOOK OUT FOR THIS GUY'S LATEST SCAMS!  He is not to be trusted!  He ripped off many people with his now defunct mortgage company - Freestand Mortgage.  But now he has just regrouped and claims he's helping homeowners ... not only that, he's getting on the "GREEN" bandwagon to put more in his pockets!  This is what Jesse Gee writes about himself on the Internet:

Chariman & CEO

Freestand Financial

(Privately Held; Real Estate industry)

November 1998 February 2007 (8 years 4 months)

Chariman & CEO of one of the largest privately held mortgage bankers in the Southwest. I got my start in the mortgage industry in 1998 as a telemarketer and quickly rose through the company to eventually purchasing it in 11/99 at the age of 21. At the time the company had 10 employees and was funding less than 1MM per month in residential mortgages. By 2007 the company had grown to nearly 1000 employees and funding approx. 2 billion annually in mortgages as a mortgage banker with 30 offices located throughout the Southwest. I sold the business in 2/07. From 2/07 through 2/08 I acted as Chairman of Venture Commercial Mortgage & Development. This company specialized in acquisition, development, and construction financing for commercial real estate projects. I sold my interests in this company in 2008 Currently I am Chairman of Going Green Solar, and Mortgage Concepts. The companies are headquartered in Phoenix , Arizona . Going Green Solar is in the renewable energy.

The comments made in this report fail to state an actual claim as to how I hurt or damaged the individual making the report or anyone else for that matter.  The generality of the report makes it impossible to properly respond.  On its surface it is somewhat obvious that the individual writing this has an agenda that extends beyond the purpose of this website.

The mortgage company that my wife and I owned was operated with the utmost integrity and professionalism.  In fact, the core values of the organization, and the other businesses I have owned, were based on the Golden Rule of treating others the way we would want to be treated.  This went for our customers, employees, and anyone else that we had dealings with.  The company employed nearly 1000 employees across a dozen states.   
 
The business was sold and the under new ownership it eventually went out of business as did many others when the financial markets began melting down in 2007.

Given the tenor of this malicious report I would have dismissed it entirely as being a competitor or someone else with a personal agenda.  However, the personal attacks on my character and integrity are without merit and deserve a response for the benefit of those who do not know me.

I would encourage the author to identify themselves and / or at a minimum substantiate these allegations.

I welcome anyone reading this report (and the author) to contact me directly.  I live in the same home with my wife of 15 years and 3 children as I have for several years, my phone number has been the same for over a decade, and my personal and business information is readily available via the internet.
