Legacy Angels
Wealth With Purpose. Impact That Lives On.
What happens to your wealth when you’re gone?
Even more important—what happens to your values, your vision, your story?
Real estate isn’t just an asset. It’s a vessel.
A tool to carry your life’s work into the hands of your children, your grandchildren, and your causes.
But most people never create a true plan.
They lose money to taxes, probate, or poor planning—and their hard work ends in confusion or conflict.
Legacy Builders Ask:
How do I protect my assets from being eroded by probate or taxes?
Can I leave real estate to my heirs—without leaving them with a burden?
Should I set up a trust, or transfer property now?
How can I turn equity into long-term giving or charitable impact?
Who can help my family make wise decisions after I’m gone?
You’ve spent a lifetime building.
Now it’s time to ensure that it lasts.

First-time home purchase and refinance with fast closing
Great customer service! We were living in California for 20+ years, and every year our rent went up, so we decided to move to Virginia and get our own house. Jim helped us with our very first home mortgage and constantly updated us with the lowering rates. After we were presented with different options, we decided to do a refi, and his team made it possible for us to grab the opportunity to shorten our term from 30 to 15 years at a much lower rate. In just around three weeks we were able to close. Me and my family will definitely recommend them!

Guidance through the purchase process with clear explanations
They worked with me on the purchase process. Their knowledge helped me to choose the option that was most convenient. From the beginning they explained the process. Thanks Jim!

Investor-friendly lender who goes the extra mile
I'm an RE investor. Had multiple loan officers but one really stands out – JIM BLACKBURN. Now, he is working on a third deal with me. He does go the extra mile. A few examples from the past: I have tons of properties and live in China with unique income (he made it work!). He called me in China at 1 AM to get information to close the deal. He is super efficient with collecting the right documents upfront to avoid a lot of back and forth later with processors. You can't go wrong with Jim.
