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.

What a way to start
What a way to start off for 2019! Thank you Jim and your team of experts on providing financing for my new home! While this may not be the first home I have purchased, it was the smoothest! From the first time we met, I knew I made the right choice. You explained the process and you kept your word on staying in touch with me and answering all my questions. Your knowledge and patience is to be admired. The professionalism you displayed by showing up on time to the closing, when no one else did, AND you stayed to the end. Thank you for your support. I will gladly recommend you to anyone I know. A great experience and a new friend! Thank you again Jim, for everything.
