James was truly the best mortgage broker with whole we have ever dealt. He was always on tip of any issues and would help look after the entire transaction. He left nothing up to chance and held out hand throughout the entire process. He is exceptionally knowledgable on the rates market, product and options. We had done three transactions prior to working with James and he stands head and shoulders above the rest. Thanks for all your help! We definitely will use you again when the time comes.

It is hard to put into words how thankful I am to have had James by our side through the entire home buying process. It was our first home and James went out of his way to guide us through every single step. The insane amount of knowledge he possesses is just the icing on the cake for the passion he has for his job. Even if you think you know the ins and outs of lending, I can promise you, without a doubt in my mind, James knows more. I can honestly say I own a home, and my sanity, due to James and his amazing team. Buying a home is one of the most stressful things I have ever done and if I ever had to do this again, I can say without hesitation, I wouldn’t even thinking about doing it without him. Thank you for making our dreams become a reality. Even if you think it’s not possible, James will make it possible. If you don’t believe me just meet him and after one conversation you will.

James was quick to respond at any hour of the day or night. The process was painless. Highly recommend!

James was great through the whole process. We purchased a production build and James was able to beat the builders incentives while getting us in the best position. We were able to time the market at his recommendation and ended up with an interest rate we were never quoted by any other lender in the area. As we continue to build our portfolio, James will always be our resource and we will recommend him to any and all.

James was absolutely amazing! He made sure to keep us up to date during our whole buying process. He was helpful and letting us know what to do in the next steps. I appreciate him calling us the day of our closing. I would recommend him any day

He guides his clients the whole way through the mortgage process effortlessly and has never ending patience. He will do whatever is necessary for a successful outcome and an effortless closing. DID you know that he attends all his closings also !!! He will mastermind and figure any sticky situation out. I don't think you will find a more caring, kind and knowledgeable loan officer than James. I would highly recommend him every time.

James was an amazing Lender to work with from both a client & agent perspective ! James was able to help my clients make a move earlier than they had expected from other lenders and offered great support through every portion of the loan process. He attended closing and has continued to support both my clients & myself long after the deal closed. I would highly recommend James & his team to both agents and clients !

James was absolutely incredible from beginning to end!! Every detail was covered and I never felt that I didn’t know where the status of the loan/closing was. I would recommend James to anyone and I personally am looking forward having him close more loans for me in the future. Thank you James!!!

James was so friendly and easy to work with! I trusted him completely !

I worked with James on purchasing my first property, and he could not have made the process more seamless. As an out of state buyer, and this being my first home with never having a mortgage previously, I was able to count on James! From getting pre approved, to all the way through closing, James was available for questions, guidance, and ultimately laid out each step of the process, and was is required for each. His team is great, and professional, and I strongly suggest working with James. I felt as if the process could not have went smoother, and much of this is because of James and his people. I will definitely look to utilize Southern Trust Mortgage, specifically James, for my next property!
