Thank you, Jim, for helping us get the financing for our dream home! I wish we could give you more…read morethan 5 stars since we believe you are one of the best Mortgage Lenders out there! We consider ourselves very fortunate to have had you on our side during our home buying process!
Jim had access to some of the lowest rates and fees that we were quoted while shopping for our home loan. He came highly recommended from our Real Estate Agents Julie and Stephanie Lyon (Who are both equally Awesome as Jim!). We were glad they did, since, after comparing what Quicken Loans (another lender we were considering) could provide us in terms of loan rate and fees, we realized that Jim's rate and fees were considerably lower. We decided to go with Jim, and this saved us CONSIDERABLE money in terms of fees and the monthly mortgage payment!
He is hardworking, dedicated, responsive and very personable (his best trait!). We have worked with mortgage lenders before (when we purchased our first home and during refinancing) and we were surprised how friendly and responsive Jim was. Some of these lenders treat you as another number on a long list of clients but not Jim, he treats you like a long-lost friend. He showed up on our open house (we were in the process of selling our home to purchase the new one) to meet, in person, and assure us that we were in good hands. He was also there, in person, at our new Dream home, when we first got the keys from our Agents to congratulate and thank us for our business! I mean, what mortgage lender does that for you?! He was always available via email, text or phone call to answer any questions or concerns regarding our loan that we had in a timely manner (believe me we had a lot of questions and pinged him and his team a lot). We definitely did not get this type of service from the lender on our first home (or saw my first lender in person) and I bet a lot of people don't either.
In terms of processing our loan application, getting it approved and finalizing it, with Jim on our side, it was all smooth sailing! We were able to lock a low rate and get the financing in place, for our new home, within days of the loan application! Our new home purchase was contingent on selling our old home. The seller on our new home also wanted to close the home sale very quickly and had potential back-up offers on the home. It was critical that all the paperwork on our loan be reviewed and processed quickly so that the loan could proceed. Jim and his team worked flawlessly to make this happen. He also diligently kept us updated on the status of our loan. The only hiccup came from the financing on our old home, which we were in the process of selling, from the buyer's lender (who was not Jim by the way) who asked for more information and documentation from our buyer. In terms of our loan for our new home, it got approved with no glitches or delays, thanks to Jim and his team!
Financing a home is probably one of the most important life/money decisions you'll make, for this, you want someone like Jim Darr on your team!
Thank you again Jim for helping us finance our Dream Home! We will always be grateful and indebted to you! To take one of your mantras and use it: YOU ROCK!
