James is a phenomenal mortgage officer that really knows the business inside and out. He understands what really needs to happen in order to close a deal, and while his business acumen and expertise are built of professionalism, he is also … More so personable and cordial that it makes the mortgage approval process as seamless and streamlined as possible. We were very lucky to sync up with James when looking for our last mortgage - we got a very competitive rate in line with the market - and will certainly be calling him when the time comes to purchase another property or refinance. Further, his team is also highly experienced and professional and were there to help move the process along and ensure that everything got in place at the right time. We very highly recommend James to anyone looking for a mortgage. Thank you James - we really appreciate your assistance, and love our new home!

This is my second time working with James and a second time of a great experience. James is incredible with customer service. He is very knowledgeable and organized. He keeps me informed at every step of the process and made the process … More flow so easy and smooth without any worries or delays. I always know my application's status at any given time, and I never need to be repeatedly asking because the information is giving on time at every step. My previous real estate agents were delighted to work with im him as well! We highly recommend using James for all your mortgage needs.

James is hands down a very knowledgeable lender who responded fast to all my texts, calls, emails etc. I was able to communicate with him during the 7 days a week unlike other banks/lenders. He made our home purchasing experience a breeze … More and really explained everything in detail. Also!! The super low rate we received was definitely a huge plus as well!! We would definitely continue recommending his services to others looking for their forever home and investment properties as well!!
