What My Customers Say

Working with Jim and his team was one of the best choices I made. He worked very closely with my realtor, they both made sure that I understood what was going on at all times, and were willing to explain things to me when I didn't understand what was going on. My situation got complicated and they went above and beyond to make sure that I got the house that I wanted.

I appreciate Jim and the work he does when working with my clients. I take my agency as a Realtor serious and I know when my clients select him as their Lender, I know we will work as a team to get the best results possible. If you are looking for a team player to communicate often, be honest and transparent- I highly recommend Jim as your Mortgage Lender whether its on a purchase of a new home or refinancing your current home!

As a first time home buyer Jim made the process as easy as possible. Nothing unexpected came up and worked with me on getting programs best suited for my current position. Whenever I had questions Jim was able to answer them in a reasonable time period. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Jim in the future.
