My brother referred me to Jim and he did not disappoint!
My brother referred me to Jim and he did not disappoint! As a first-time homebuyer, I had a lot of questions. Jim supplied informative and clear answers promptly and even put me in touch with an amazing real estate agent as I began my search. He guided me through all the details of my loan so that I would fully understand everything ahead of time, with no surprises. In the end, I bought a home I am VERY happy with at a great price with an amazing interest rate and the whole process was a breeze! I’m thankful I started my search with Jim.
