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.

Helpful and responsive team that supported us during the home search as well as the purchase. The quick-close was our differentiator that made our offer stand out!!
8/02/2021Jim and his team made buying our first home out of state such an easy and memorable experience. Life has been amazing here in Oregon and an adventure we'll always... Read More be happy we embarked on. We took in the sights and the communities for the first two months we were here, as we waited that long to start looking for work, but so well worth it to get to know the new surroundings. My wife now works for the county (2min drive/8min walk from home), and I work in sales for a local manufacturer (2.5mi from home). We cannot thank Jim enough for his role in helping us get here, and we know that whenever we tell our story, he'll always play a part as someone who made a dream look so easy and helped make it come to life. It was an incredible journey getting here and was one of the best decisions we ever could have made as we find seem to always find ourselves on vacation here at home. Life is good and cannot complain! Oh, and the rain over the snow isn't such a bad deal, either... Thank you Jim! Read Less
2/09/2019Jim, Amy, and the rest of the Ultimate Lending Team was great about quickly answering all of our questions. Jim talked us through a variety of rate and point options...

The turn around times between interest, pre-approval, rate quotes, and time to closing were very fast allowing us to make a competitive offer. Read Less
