From the first moment when learning about my customer’s needs, to the details of understanding your financial goals, and all the way through the process of closing the loan, I am committed to you and your success.

The ultimate compliment you can give someone is to return for service over and over. Jim has serviced our families lending needs on multiple occasions since moving to Florida. We won’t use anyone else, nor will our family, or friends who choose to take our advice. Jim is honest, trustworthy, efficient, and professional. Jim checked every box for us, and I know he will for you too.

Just sitting here writing this review and trying to come up with the right words to say to show my appreciation to Jim. From the very start of the process, to the middle, to the end, Jim was there. Morning, noon, and night Jim was there. My first time buying a home and Jim made it feel like there was nothing that could go wrong and if so, he would do everything in his power to fix it and make things right. I appreciate you so much Jim and look forward to working with you again my friend.

World class experience- treated like a VIP with a personalized broker experience. Always accessible and quick. I have made two recent transactions a home purchase with Loan Depot and a refinance with ‘another company.’ The other company treated me like a number and failed to explain things, was slow to respond, never accessible by phone, and the failed to deliver or call as stated in their emails. Conversely, Jim (Loan Depot) made things so easy; he provided a personalized and customer friendly experience we will never forget. You can tell he loves and serves a calling and values clients with an enduring vision. I simply cannot tell you how much we appreciate and would recommend him to anyone. I wholeheartedly give my highest recommendation to Jim and will plan to finance with him in the future.

Jim was the best loan processor. He processed my loan so quickly considering it was done after my other loan fell through. He answered all my questions and then some. Communicated efficiently and respond in a timely manner to all my needs. I will highly recommend him in the future to anyone who needs help.

No need to look any further for a lender- Jim is the best out there!
My husband and I were renting and when we were told our lease would not be renewed because they were selling the rental property, so we decided it was time to buy. This was in November 2017. We contacted one lender and they told us we needed to pay off a few things and try again in February or March. We were trying to get help from a first time home buyer bond or program. We started looking for another place to rent and we were just going to try again in 2018. I was given Jim's number by a realtor who was showing the house we were moving out of. I contacted him and he immediately went to work for our family. He ran our credit and saw that I was only a few points away from getting the first time home buyer bond. He gave me advice on what we needed to do and gave me very realistic options. He never promised anything he couldn't deliver but he always tried his hardest to get us everything we needed. The first time I reached out to Jim was on 11-30-17 and he worked all through December to get us the first time home buyer bond but also worked through a lot of other roadblocks that we were having. He kept me informed daily and was always real about what could happen- both good and bad. My employer was closed for two weeks for Christmas break but even with that delay we closed on our home on January 10th, 2018. We ended up buying the home we were renting and didn't have to pack a single thing. I honestly can say this would not have happened if it was not for Jim. I cannot recommend him and his professional and informed expertise enough!!
