I sell PEACE OF MIND !!

About Me:

As a 3rd generation resident of Manhattan Beach, my roots are deep in the community.  I am currently the Recruiting Director for Leadership Manhattan Beach! http://www.leadershipmb.org/  I also belong to the Manhattan Beach Chamber. My two little girls attend Pacific School just as their grandfather did.  I am all things Manhattan Beach!

I specialize in residential purchase loans, and, as the major onslaught of refinances comes to the Southern California area, I am able to help plan your long term financial strategy and get you into the loan that best suits your needs.

As a U.S. Air Force Veteran I have lived in Japan and Greece.

Testimonials

"In a very short period of time, James produced a refinancing package that was perfect for my needs."

Carol Y.

 

"I'm glad we were able to form a business relationship together. If there is anybody I know that is need of a mortgage consultant, I will definitely send them your way. It's been a pleasure knowing that you were working for ME in obtaining the BEST term and rate available for my situation. Thanks again. Sincerely, Linda"

Linda L.

 

"I needed a loan quickly for the purchase of a commercial income property in Dallas, Texas because the seller was working under a 1031 exchange. Not only did James help me acquire a loan at a great interest rate, he was able to ensure that the loan was completed in time so that both the seller and I were winners. James Gill will be my loan agent for life!"

Sylvana K.

 

"The most important thing you look for in a mortgage broker is honesty. Because let's face it - most of us have no idea how the numbers work. Working with James you know he's going to get you the best deal. Not the best deal for him--the best deal for you. I trust him implicitly. Two refi's and counting. Now if he'd only get rid of that cheeesy photo!"

Beth and Jeff N.

 

"Solid effort. Never would have gotten it done without the tenacity of James Gill!!"

"James, you were the most knowledgeable, patient (big emphasis on patient) broker I have ever dealt with, especially since I was a 1st time buyer (and had NO clue). It's scary enough to find a house you like, but wait until the paper work arrives. You made the entire process seem as normal and benign as regular banking (though I thought I was dying...ok hyperventilating), which made the celebration all the more special when I got my house (because you explained things so well, I didn't keel over). You are truly an asset to your clients, and to this day I think you as the best choice for a broker. Your fantastic knowledge of banking, as well as your ability to explain said fantastic knowledge makes you one of the best brokers I have run across. You make your clients feel important (even if they are like me, a 1st time buyer who knew nothing), but also that they could ask any question no matter how silly (and I had MANY of them), and you would explain the answer until your clients fully understood it. What more can I say, you are everything this industry needs. It's nice to know that even now, 5.5 months later; if I still have questions I can ask you. You have truly lived up to your moniker: Mortgage Broker for Life Thank you and good luck, Chris B."

"My wife and I have known James for 14 years and it was very comforting to know we were in good hands during the refinance process"!  We highly recommend his services.

Nothing but wonderful things to say about James!  If you are looking for a professional and friendly Mortgage Broker that will go above and beyond the call of duty for the customer, you need not look any further.  There are lots of paperwork, lots of deadlines, and lots of worries when trying to secure a home loan, but James can be depended on for lots of support/direction and is a welcome helping hand and wealth of knowledge during the entire process.  I have found a Mortgage Broker for life! Lucky me!
