This may be my second or third response. Jim did an excellent job. I have worked with several residential and commercial bankers over the past several decades and Jim is likely the best I have worked with. His knowledge was very good and his communication skills were excellent. He was always available and even offered to be available during off hours, which I did not expect. I would highly recommend him to all of my friends and collegues.

Jim was very responsive and on top of the loan through out the entire process. My clients were extremely satisfied on how professional he was. The loan went through very quickly with closing docs sent over to the title company in a timely fashion. I never hesitate to refer Jim out to any buyer I am working with as I know he will get the deal done.
