“Not All Real Estate Deals Are the Same. Neither Are the Experts Who Help You Close Them.
”
Whether you’re selling your primary residence, buying a move-up home, or looking to acquire a discounted fixer-upper, there are two very different kinds of professionals you’ll want on your team:
Realtors
The go-to experts for retail transactions—serving buyers and sellers with licensed representation, market analysis, negotiations, and full-service marketing.
Wholesalers
The specialists in off-market opportunities—working with distressed sellers and investment-focused buyers to connect value-driven deals fast.

Hear From Some Past Clients of Our Founder
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.
