Our Team

Jerome Pemberton Jr. is the owner of Pemberton Home Consulting Group, LLC., a consulting firm designed to aid families in the journey to plan, prepare and purchase their homes. Jerome is a licensed realtor in Texas,  whose license is currently held with Around Town Properties. He has over 20 years of experience in the real estate market. Before getting involved in the industry as a realtor, Jerome served as a mortgage loan officer for over 10 years, giving him insight into the field from a variety of perspectives.  As a result, Jerome has created the national programs Plan2BuyaHome, ZeroDown.House and AsktheBudget. These programs aim to not only allow families to be better prepared for the purchasing process itself but to further their home ownership success with an improved financial picture, for today and tomorrow. To assist in these objectives, "Dr.J", as many call him, founded the Relentless Money 101 program, a faith-based program that teaches financial literacy. Pemberton is passionate about the holistic health of his client's situation, not just getting them into a house. This led Jerome to also create the non-profit organization, Mastering Your Life, CDC. The purpose of Mastering Your Life is to provide innovative approaches and resources to individuals in the area of financial management, strategic lifespan planning, and personal growth initiatives. To achieve this end, Mastering emphasizes community outreach, education, and STEM-promoting activities for children, youth, and adults who have a desire for economic mobility and wealth-building strategies.
