Our experiences with Jim and his team were positive

Our experiences with Jim and his team were positive throughout the process. In particular Jim was always ready to take your call. At any time. Finding documents and submitting them with his staff was always explained and patiently handled. When our loan hit a snag, Jim had the solution that still secured the best rate for us. Would recommend Jim and his team to any prospective homebuyer.
