About John
John Schaff
Mortgage Broker, Edge Home Finance · Individual NMLS #255975
The name comes from my hair and my kitchen.
I love to cook, and I've spent nearly 25 years helping people make smart mortgage decisions. I'll walk you through your options, explain what they cost, and help you figure out which one fits your plans.
If a mortgage question comes up years after closing, you can still call me.
“Explain the cost, the trade-off, and who the option fits.”
That's how John works, and it's the whole idea behind Salt & Pepper Mortgage. A mortgage isn't a product you grab off a shelf — it's a choice that has to fit your plans, your budget, and your life for years. John's job is to lay out the options in plain language, costs included, and let you choose with your eyes open.
He helps homebuyers, homeowners, and investors understand their mortgage options, weigh the trade-offs, and make a choice that fits. And he stays available for questions after closing — because a mortgage doesn't stop being part of your life the day you sign.

What working with John looks like
No pressure. No jargon. No disappearing act.
Plain language first
Every option gets the same treatment: what it costs, what the trade-off is, and who it fits. If a kitchen analogy makes it clearer, you'll get one.
Your plans, your choice
John's job is to show you the options honestly — including telling you when one doesn't fit — and let you decide. The choice stays yours.
Available after closing
Questions about your mortgage don't stop at closing. Neither does John. Call him years later and he'll still pick up.
