Testimonials

We were referred to James from a friend and decided to contact him when it was time to search for a home. A day after we contacted James, he showed us two homes. He was very quick with his responses and worked efficiently. James took the time to connected us to the proper persons to help see what kind of home we would be approved for since we had not started the process yet. He also took the time to make sure we understood the documents and the process since we were first time buyers. I would highly recommend James to anyone! He has made the home buying process so much easier than expected! -Jennifer T.
My wife and I first talked to James about 2 years ago and we didn't find anything appealing to us but I told him that when we were ready to start looking again that we would go with him. A few months ago I called him and he remembered us. Great guy to work with and very knowledgeable in every aspect of his field. He was also very easy to relate with us on some type of a personal level and I'd recommend him to anyone. - Colton R.
