Do you know how to use equity without erasing your net worth?
Have you considered what your real estate legacy looks like?
What happens if you stay in the same place—financially and physically—for the next 10 years?
And what kind of life do you want real estate to help you build—not just now, but forever?
But not you. You’re here because you want a clear path, not just another transaction.
What Is a Wealth Plan—and Why Does It Matter?
- Buy with clarity
- Refinance with purpose
- Invest with leverage
- Multiply what you’ve built
- Protect what matters
- And do it all in alignment with your values, your season of life, and your vision for the future.
Who Needs a Stairway Wealth Plan?
First-Time & Growing Buyers
You’re not just looking for a home—you’re building a future. We help first-time buyers and homeowners scale smartly, not stressfully.
High Earners Seeking Strategy
Large income, little structure? We create custom plans to turn earnings into lasting wealth—without burning out.
You overpay in taxes and don’t even realize it
You refinance too late—or not at all
You invest emotionally instead of strategically
You own 4 properties but no exit plan
You leave your family guessing about your wishes
You miss the golden years of buying power and leverage
A wealth plan won’t solve everything—but it will keep you focused, prepared, and ahead of the curve.

Easy and quick refinance with great rates and expert advice.
I recently refinanced my existing mortgage with Jim and his team, and I was so pleased with how easy and quick the whole process was. Jim and his team were very responsive to my questions, and I feel confident that I got the best rate and shaved 9 years off my mortgage. He is very knowledgeable and helped me determine the best option for myself and my family. Definitely recommend him.

Complex loan scenario handled with expertise and care.
The process went smoothly. Jim Blackburn is a lending saint. He knows the market well and cares about his clients tremendously. The team made it really easy to do business, uploading documents and getting forms signed. Our situation is a bit complex. Rather than turn us away for some added work, they dug in to get it done right. They like the complexity, whereas other lenders don’t want to roll up their sleeves. Highly recommend Jim Blackburn for new loans and refinances!

Closed in time for Thanksgiving! Jim and his team were amazing, and we got a much better deal than previous lender.
We closed our loan within 19 days. Just in time for Thanksgiving!! Jim and his team are amazing! We initially had gone with a different loan office and the interest rate and down payment was ridiculous. The owner of the company where my husband works referred us to Jim and we are very grateful for that. We had such an amazing experience with Jim and his team! Since our transaction, we’ve been referring Jim to anyone we know that are thinking of purchasing a house.

Secured financing despite market challenges and self-employment.
Run, don't walk to work with Jim and his team. Jim helped us get financing when it seemed like an impossible feat. It was hard enough to be managing a home purchase 2000 miles away, but add to that an extremely competitive market and being self-employed, and it seemed impossible until Jim's team got involved. Jim was not only responsive; he consistently went above and beyond by making clear recommendations, working his magic, and ensuring that financing wasn’t a barrier for buying our dream house in one of the most competitive markets in the country.

Smooth, fast, and hassle-free mortgage and refinance process.
Jim and his team are great to work with! We have used Jim twice with our home mortgage. Both times, the process was smooth and uneventful (which is what I wanted). He has kept in touch with us and contacted us when he felt it was the right time for us to refinance! I was amazed at our refinancing process – it took them about a little over two weeks to process all our information and close! I love the new online process of submitting all the information they require – it made it super easy for me to organize and gather all the documents.
