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.

Very helpful, informative, and friendly. Great group to work with!
11/08/2019Helpful 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 provides first class service, every time. I have worked with him on numerous transactions over the last few years and as a Realtor, it is extremely comforting to know... Read More that once my clients sign up to work with Jim, I no longer need to have any concerns on the lending side of things. Read Less

The team at Ultimate lending has now helped me with two mortgages and both were incredibly smooth (even with complex finances and multiple party mortgages). Both my loans closed on... Read More time and never felt rushed or stressed, and one had to be put together in a couple weeks during the holidays. Part of this is probably due to the unique circumstance of sharing an office with their underwriters, allowing clear, personal communication throughout the process. I feel great about the options that Jim shopped for and, after doing my own research, discovered that he was very thorough in finding the best available interest rates. I'd recommend getting your mortgage in place before picking a house so that you can come to the bargaining table with money already spoken for. I'd highly recommend Ultimate lending and I intend to use them again if I ever buy another property or house. Read Less
3/11/2019It was a really easy process. Jim, Amy and Lisa were all absolute professionals and it was really pleasant to work with each of them. I felt really supported in... Read More new home ownership and felt empowered to ask questions. I felt like their feedback and advice was really catered to me and my needs/wants. Thank you all so much! It was so wonderful to work with you. Read Less
