Bill James
Mortgage Loan Originator
About
I began originating loans at the end of 1999 and can say with full confidence that helping people get into their dream home doesn’t get old. With over 20 years in the mortgage industry, my clients can feel confident that they are being provided with the best and most accurate information regarding their loan. I go above and beyond in making sure that those I work with are educated on the mortgage process and the products that are available to them.
By working with me, you’ll soon find that I’m very attentive. I make it a priority to respond to calls and emails immediately and will be sure to keep you updated throughout the entire process. I find that this keeps everything as streamlined as possible, which is my goal. I’ve lived in Charlotte for 30 years and love helping people become part of such a great community.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my girlfriend, Dawn, and our adopted bulldog, Ginger. I also like playing golf, working out, and cooking. As far as football, I’m a huge fan of both the Carolina Panthers and Oakland Raiders. With basketball, it’s the Charlotte Hornets all the way!
