We Love Being a Lender.

And we love being a teammate.

Why Are We the Ultimate Lending Team?

Jim and the Ultimate Lending Team have been helping people achieve home ownership for over 20 years. He started his business as a mortgage lender helping his teammates (and opponents) on the Ultimate Frisbee field achieve home ownership. As word got around that Jim was reliable, trustworthy, and had great rates, his referrals grew in the community and expanded outward. Today, Jim and his team provide mortgage solutions to everyone, but you can still find him on the frisbee field laying out for discs.

Our branch at Guaranteed Rate Affinity is called the Ultimate Lending Team as a nod to our frisbee heritage, but also because we’re more than a lender, we’re a teammate. Our goal is to help our teammates obtain home ownership and keep their monthly payments as low as possible. We provide trustworthy guidance and personalized solutions. As your “Lender for Life”, we are looking forward to bringing our experience and expertise to help you with your next real estate transaction, whatever that may be.
