Client Reviews

Cyndi Jordan

James is the whole reason I was able to refinance my house for 15 years. After my appraisal came back lower than I owed on the house I thought I was not going to be able to refinance. James was on vacation when the appraisal came back so low but when he returned he went to work on my refinance. He called me and reassured that things work out and to give him some time to work on it. About a week later he called me with my new payment options and closing date. He made it work in my favor and I am so grateful for James still today. Thank you, James!

Gary Cotterill

At a time when I did not think a re-finance was possible, James showed his interest and concern for getting me a great loan in what I consider record time. I won't be needing another loan soon but I would work with him anytime to get easily and quickly through the process. James and the whole team clearly and honestly told me what was available for me and helped me get it. THANKS James!

Linda Mazza

James was always available for us when we had any questions. If James didn't know with absolute certainty, he would check to get the right one and the get right back to us. Sometimes we felt like our questions were pretty silly, but James always reassured us that he was there for us no matter what our questions were.


If James didn't hear from us he would call to ask if things were going okay and if there were any concerns that we might have.


We would recommend James to anyone!

Rod Bati

James is an excellent loan advisor in every aspects of my loan refinance. He easily answered all my questions and explained the process throughout the loan. Before, I tried to refinance with another company. But it took a while and there are some unexplainable expenses the loan advisor couldn't explain. It resulted for me to discontinue the refinancing. James and his team made it possible to give me what I wish. Thank you James for everything.

Chris Butlercase

James Kleiner was concerned all through the process of my refinancing. He was always ready

to explain any questions I had and when not in, left message and very shortly, he would call

me back. Even at the closing, if I had a question, I knew I could phone him and he would

respond. I recommend him very highly. The company is lucky to have him with them.

He is a great asset.

One of the best financial negotiations I've ever head.

Janet Nash

I wanted to take a moment to complement James Kleiner on the excellent service he provided my husband and I throughout our refinancing process. This is not something we are familiar with as my husband has lived here since 1994 and I lived in the same house for 15 years before I moved here in 2004.

It is a stressful process but James made it easy. He made himself available on his off-days, evenings and most any time we needed him. He offered us options and worked with us to select the best option for our needs. He also helped us with questions we had about the FHA and underwriting processes, etc.

We would strongly recommend James to anyone who is planning to buy a new home or refinance their current home. He is truly great asset to your operation.

Best regards,

I was a bit apprehensive starting the whole loan thing on line! (Old school) James is very easy to talk to. Made me feel comfortable and confident that all my confidential information would remain confidential. The process was amazing and he was there every step of the way! He was available 7days out of the week, something you won't find with your conventional lenders. Very impressed with his knowledge of the loan process and the way he explained each step. We have been extremely happy with the whole Team. I would recommend James to my friends and family.

James took our call, got started with the very first call and let us know what type of loan we needed. He then proceeded to kick the approval process in high gear.

I just wanted to get some information on refinancing. I told James what I was looking for and what I had now for a rate, etc. He was very honest with me and told me I was in a good place and refinancing wouldn't help me any. His honesty rather than trying to make a deal or sell me on refinancing earned my respect. I really appreciated it.

James was very knowledgeable about every aspect of the loan process. If there was a question about #s he answered it, if there was a way to get us a better rate, he worked to get it, the things that were important to us, James made happen. This business can be slippery, and you sometimes run into questionable characters, lacking character. James is the antithesis of this, knowledgeable, helpful, a real pro, for when you really need a pro to trust with your biggest family investment. Would recommend to anyone looking to buy or refinance, without hesitation.

James was the agent on the other end, and spent 2 hours with us on the phone walking us through the process. Less than a day later everything is in process. Ironically, we had contacted our local bank where we have very substantial deposits and accounts. I'm still waiting for them to call back.

James is awesome. A very personable, yet professional individual. My favorite thing is when he says he's going to do something he does it. If he says he'll call you tomorrow at one, you can bet you will get a call tomorrow right around one. If he says he will email you something, it will be in your inbox before you hang up. Great customer service like that is hard to find.
