The first New Year’s celebration dates back 4,000 years. Julius Caesar, the emperor of Rome, was the first to declare Jan. 1 a national holiday. He named the month after Janus, the Roman god of doors and gates. Janus had two faces, one looking forward and one looking back. Caesar felt that a month named after this god would be fitting.

After inquiring with different lenders
After inquiring with different lenders on estimated loan costs, I was provided with a fair amount of misinformation, intended to meet a sales quota. Looking for the best loan option, I reached to Jim after I had already received a preapproval from a different lender. Jim was prompt in providing loan estimates and answered all of my questions. The total payment, interest, PMI, and fees were far better than anyone else in the market. Up until the day of closing and to this day Jim is available whenever I need anything, have any questions, or just to check up and see how I am doing. I can ascertain that Jim will look in the best interest for you, as a new homeowner, and he will work day and night to ensure you will be able to purchase the home you want. I did not know how much went into purchasing my first home, but I am delighted to have Jim and his team help me throughout.
