Philosophy

 

James starts with the simple philosophy - "Do what's best for the client every single time." This means taking a consultant approach to mortgage lending. Every client of will receive an in-depth consultation so the loan is packaged to meet your goals.

"It's more than a loan, it's your dream. You are more than a client your are a friend."

"

James was transparent and honest throughout the transaction. My loan process was seamless with no surprises. James was available with advice and feedback whenever I needed it. His wife Pamela is AMAZING and I cannot thank her enough for all of her help. I 100% feel assured that James and his group went out of their way to make sure I received the best loan and closing experience they could make possible.
