As a first-time home buyer, you're expected to come up to speed quickly on an insanely complex industry. It's difficult to know what to trust and what decisions to make. I worked with James on a jumbo loan for my home purchase. James is a rare commodity: a resource with years of industry knowledge, an excellent communicator who puts things simply and helps you understand why things are the way they are, and a fantastic human being who cares about the people he works with, even after he's finished working with them. I was often stunned at how much he knew about the history and inner workings of his industry and the lengths he went to in support of my loan - and I'd tell him that just as often! I would highly recommend working with James and would choose to work with him again at my next opportunity.

We used Loan Depot for our second home after being referred to them by our realtor and we are so glad that we did. Throughout the whole process, James Venney and his team went absolutely above and beyond for us to make sure everything was okay. Any questions we had were answered professionally and we could contact him any time if we had any worries. Originally, we were thinking of going directly to our bank thinking we were going to get the a better deal, but it turned out that Loan Depot found me the best deal I could get. Communication was always excellent. James and his team were very patient with our case that took a little more time than expected to close because the seller wasn’t ready; and even after the looked rate was expired, James managed to keeping my original rate. We couldn't thank James Venney enough for making this process as simple and stress-free as possible. I would highly recommend Loan Depot, James Venney and his team for your mortgage needs. They were easy to work with, always giving me excellent mortgage advice, and finding solutions to all of my situations, even exceeding my expectations of what I could achieve. James is a true professional, efficient and keeps in touch with you the whole way through the process. If you are looking to a broker that listens to what you the customer actually wants, I would highly recommend considering Loan Depot, James Venney and his team. We will definitely be using them again in the future! Thank you James, John, and Lindsey for your patience, professionalism and full support through the whole process!

James' reputation as a consummate professional preceded him, and I was fortunate enough to be his client for my home purchase. The entire process couldn't have gone any smoother. James and his team were attentive, responsive and nimble, which made life much easier during a stressful time. I had complete confidence that James was securing the best possible rates and fees and working hard on my behalf from beginning to end.
