"Real Testimonials"
I have always wondered about the testimonial letters that are signed, JC from Atlanta, or some other unverifiable identification. So, since most of my business is created by customer referrals I wanted to make sure that the letters I get from my customers are verifiable. So at the bottom of each letter is the customers name and the school they work for (or other business) and they have agreed to be contacted should someone choose to do so. These testimonials are from 2008-2015.
You can find current ones on Google and Zillow.

We tried to refinance for a few years but couldn't due to the economy and home values. I called lenders about every four months or so to see if there were any programs that could help us and it always came down to home value. After speaking with a friend that is an appraiser and figuring out that our value was finally in the ball park I began dealing with a mortgage company. They slowly (over a few days) presented me with some numbers that were better than what we had but still not as low as I thought we could get based on current rates. My in-laws had just refinanced for a second time through Jim and suggested that I contact him. From the first time I talked to him I was extremely impressed not only with his customer service skills but with his knowledge and honesty. I did not tell him what the other company was offering and he actually told me he didn't want or need to know that information. He came back with a lower interest rate and lender paid PMI which lowered our payment an additional $200 from the other offer on the table. From start to finish Jim was a top notch guy who I would definitely do business with again in the future. It’s rare in today’s society to find anyone that truly cares and my wife and I know that Jim truly cared about getting our refinance handled in the quickest and easiest fashion possible. He did all of the work that he could possibly do so that we didn't have to take time out of our busy days to handle anything. I cannot stress enough how much we appreciate that hard work and dedication that Jim put into our refinance. As long as Jim is in the business we will never use anyone else.

We would highly recommend Jim and Sunview Mortgage. Jim was very thorough and kept us consistently and constantly updated on the process from beginning to end. He found a great rate for us that met our specific circumstances just right. And, he knew, because of those circumstances that the lender was going to be pretty demanding and detail oriented. So Jim was able to prep us and keep us ahead of the process. Jim was great to work with, very personable and we would certainly use his services again.

We would like to refer you to Sunview Mortgage Inc. It is without hesitation, we recommend in the highest regard, Jim Clemente, Sunview Mortgage Inc. President/Owner.
We were initially referred by our Realtor to Jim and several other brokers/lenders once we finalized the bid on our new home. When we spoke to the other brokers, they did not give us a sense of actually “caring” about our purchase and what it meant for our family, but more or less our dollars and cents.
We recognize that getting loans for folks is how mortgage brokers and lenders make their money. But when you are talking about purchasing a home; a place where you put your most treasured belongings, and want to raise the next generation of good, honest Americans, we needed someone who also understood what our home buying journey was all about.
Jim did just that. He took the time when others didn't; to explain what he does and how he does it, get to know us, and then explain the “why’s” and “how’s” of what we were embarking on.
Jim was constantly in contact with us, and our Realtor, to ensure our comfort and stay abreast of the purchase situation. When Jim said he would call us, he did…even if it was “after hours.”
We feel that Jim Clemente is a stand up business man. A man with a passion for what he does; to get you the best deal he can, while being honest, fair and forthright. I’m not sure how often you will find those words strung together in a referral letter for a mortgage broker, but for Jim, those are the words we would begin with, to describe him, and our experience.
Good luck on your home buying journey!
Sincerely,
Megan & Wes Jones

Chris and I would like to express our appreciation to you for helping us with our new mortgage. Thanks for personally guiding us through this process. At a time, when customer service at the big banks is at an all time low, you went above and beyond the call of duty...and got us into our new home in less than 30 days.
Thanks for everything!

Thank-you for all you did to help me refinance the loan on my town-home. I am very happy you found me exactly what I was looking for, a lower interest and a shorter term on the loan. I was surprised to find the monthly payments were lowered as well. The entire refinancing experience was a breeze. In addition, I’d like to thank-you for being flexible with the closing and changing the time of it on such late notice.

Jim was referred to me by my amazing Realtor. I was skeptical at first, but trusted my Realtor and called him. After our first conversation, I was already confident Jim could do what he was promising, which was closing within 30 days on a VA loan!! He walked my husband and I through the process step by step, insuring we understood every single thing that was happening. He was on top of everything and had our loan closed within 30 days, as promised. He even went as far as to calm my anxious nerves throughout the process, by researching certain issues I had questioned. And he saved us a bunch of money in closing costs to boot!!! I would highly recommend Sunview Mortgage to anyone and everyone who needs financing. Thank you so much Jim and your team for your outstanding work and customer service!

I just wanted to say thanks for such a smooth process. I called you about a year ago and after looking at my situation you gave me pointers on what I could do to save me the most money. When I called you a year later, you remembered my situation and worked with me to get us the best rate and payment we could get. You answered phone calls at all times of the day and even helped us lower our home owners insurance rate. I appreciate all that you did for us with refinancing our home. I will recommend you to all of my friends and family. Thanks again!

Thank you so much for all your effort and diligence regarding our Conventional Home Mortgage. Even though we brought some challenges regarding the process, you never lost faith or confidence that we would be approved and living in our dream home. Throughout the entire process starting from when we were first referred to you, we were kept up to date of the status and any additional requirements. The monetary requirements were disclosed and explained in full detail; so we felt confident there were no hidden charges . Thank you so much for closing our mortgage and we love our new home!!!

A few months ago I tried refinancing my mortgage and was told that it could NOT be done. I received an email from a teacher that said she had refinanced with
Jim Clemente at Sunview Mortgage so I thought I would give him a call. After listening to our situation, he understood why the other lender could not help us, but believed he could. We just closed on our refinance and because of the extra effort that Jim put into our loan, we are saving over $450.00 per month on our
mortgage! This is incredible considering we were already told "NO" by another lender!
Jim did an outstanding job for us and I would recommend him to anyone purchasing or refinancing a home.

For anyone, especially teachers, considering a refinance or purchase of a home, you need to contact Jim Clemente with Sunview Mortgage. He has the knowledge, skills, and understanding of the business to get things done. We started working with Bank of America in November of 2012. In January 2013,
Bank of America told me that they were having trouble getting Greentree to subordinate our 2nd mortgage with them. They continued to try. In February, I went into a Wells Fargo asking for help and was basically told if Bank of America couldn't do it, then they couldn't either. In March, a friend of mine at another school sent out an email recommending Jim Clemente with Sunview Mortgage, so I sent him an email with the details of our issue. He knew exactly why Bank of America was having a hard time and knew the mistake they were making. My husband and I met with Jim within the week, and we closed on the loan within the month. After trying to refinance for four months with Bank of America, I was impressed that Jim got it done in less than a month. Beyond having the knowledge to do things others could not, he was also very helpful and explanatory. He is super easy to work, and I highly recommend him to others.

I had been thinking about refinancing for almost a year, but I kept putting it off and almost missed a great opportunity to refinance before the
laws changed. When I called Jim and told him I needed to refinance as soon as possible, he was surprisingly responsive and worked to get our loan
rates locked and closed with time to spare. Jim also did a great job explaining the refinance itself, so I knew all the costs being built into my
mortgage balance and I could make a smart, unbiased decision without being pressured to close into something I didn’t even understand. Overall, I
was very impressed with his speed and explanations, and I would highly recommend Jim to anyone who is looking to finance a new home loan.

My wife and I had been trying for months to get our house refinanced. We kept running into brick walls everywhere we turned. So I decided
to contact Jim for help. He was very nice and courteous on the phone and started immediately to help us with our refinance. Jim started to run into the same
problems we were, but was not discouraged and told us that he would do whatever it took to get our refinance done. He did just that. Although it took several
months to figure out what the problem was, Jim never gave up and was always very encouraging. Finally, we have refinanced our home and are saving a lot
of money. Jim was super nice and efficient. I would definitely recommend him. In fact, I recommended him to my sister and her husband and they have refinanced their home and a rental property with him.
Again we can't thank Jim enough for what he has done for us.
Thanks again Jim.

Dear Jim,
I would like to thank you for all the support you gave me in the recent purchase of my home. You were great in the early stages of house hunting, right on through closing. You initially helped me determine how much of a house I could realistically afford, so I knew what I was looking for in my search. All your explanations regarding mortgages and the closing process were easy to understand. At the closing, I knew exactly how things would flow and what I was signing. You told me there would be “no surprises’” and there were none.
I would, without hesitation, recommend you to anyone in the market for a home. Thanks you again for a very positive experience!

Jim,
I cannot begin to thank you enough for all of your help in the refinancing process on my house. From our first meeting, to the closing on my house was only about 15 days. Jim was able to help get my interest rate dropped 1.5% which helped drop my payment dramatically. Jim is very much a numbers guy and is very thorough on what he does and makes sure that you understand what's happening through the entire process. I've actually referred my sister and a friend of mine to Jim to see if he can help them get their houses refi'd as well! This has been one of the most pleasant experiences I've ever had and will continue to promote and refer people to Jim.
Thanks again!

We just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for your hard work and dedication in making our loan process so easy. You were very personable, and always there to answer our numerous questions no matter what time of the day or evening we called. You researched our many options and found the program that would work best for our needs. You were available to meet with us, as well as to close on our loan when it was convenient for us. I can’t say enough good things about your dedication to teachers. We are looking forward to working with you in the future. You have definitely earned our business! We would highly recommend you and your company to anyone, especially teachers, that are in need of a mortgage loan or to refinance their current loan. Thank you again for making our refinance such a positive experience!

Last week we refinanced using Jim Clemente, the person Holly used a few
months back. He worked harder for me than anyone
else I have ever used for a loan of any type. He truly has the best
interest of the client in mind. He is fanatical about details and making
sure you and him are on the same page at all times. If you are even halfway
considering refinancing it is worth giving him a call. I felt we would be
upside down too much to be able to refinance but with the interest rates so low I
figured I would take a chance. Very glad I did. My original loan was at
5.5% for 30 yrs. I am now in a 15 year loan at 2.85%--my payment went up $49
a month...but we are saving over $211,000 by dropping 11 years of the original
loan!!! Again I almost did not call him, but after Holly put that out, I
figured all I had to lose was $450 on an appraisal...so much for that
thought!!! Give him a call you may be surprised like I was!

Dear Jim,
It was indeed a pleasure working with you on our Refinance package. Debbie and I had been talking about it for quite some time, but never seemed to find the right deal. From start to finish, you made everything as clear and simple as possible. With some of the horrors we have seen with other cases, this was a breath of fresh air. Your commitment to make this work from the beginning, shows your dedication and "can do" attitude towards your clients. I know that you will have the opportunity to work with others in the future, and we only hope that their experience can match the one we had with you. Thanks again for your help in making this possible.

I just wanted to say thank you for all you did in my refinance of my current home and helping me get the best rate that was out there. You went beyond what most folks would do just to make sure I was happy. You were so dedicated in making the loan process easy. Always picked up the phone and returned calls ASAP. I know I must have asked a 100 questions but you did not mind. I look forward working with you this fall to finance my second home in the mountains.
Thank you,

We received this email the week before Christmas break and I didn't pay much attention to it. Over the break, I looked at it, thought "What the heck?" and I will give him a call. He was amazing!!!! We just closed on our loan yesterday and he saved us $323/month on our mortgage with NO
APPRAISAL. He is so family orientated and kid friendly. We had to take
Brody when we met him and he had stuff for him to do and even let him "sign" some of the paperwork. When we closed yesterday, he met us halfway with the lawyer, after school, to accommodate where we lived.
If you are thinking of refinancing your house and didn't know the right steps, at least give him a call and see what he can do for you.

Jim,
In an era when customer service is truly no longer a priority, you are the exception. Having bought and financed several homes and dealt with other mortgage people, our experience with you was not only expeditious and courteous, it was also pleasant and customer service oriented. From the very beginning you provided accurate information and a consideration of all of the possibilities available to us, noting those that would be most beneficial.
I applaud you for focusing on teachers and doing an excellent job of meeting our needs. I must say, the 'door-to-door' service was wonderful. Your kindness and consideration was greatly appreciated.

We want to convey our thanks for your work on our refinance. Every time we thought to inquire about the status, you anticipated us and called with an update. The speed with which you directed the process, from the initial application through the appraisal to the closing, was impressive. We first met with you on October 18 and closed the refinance on November 19. A fellow in my office has been waiting for at least six months for his national bank to process his refinance application. I have given him your contact information and sung your praises.

Jim,
I cannot thank you enough for your guidance and help in refinancing my recent mortgage loan. I had been told by another firm that it would not be possible without making many adjustments to my financial base. I had been discouraged and put the idea of refinance out of the question. I then spoke with two other counselors in our county who had just finished closing with you on refinancing their individual homes. They were extremely pleased with your efficiency and the ability to get in touch with you easily throughout the entire process. I immediately felt a trust level in you and knew you would look out for my best interest which I honestly feel you have done.
I would recommend you without reservation to anyone who needed your assistance in refinancing their home.

It is my great pleasure to offer my endorsement of Jim Clemente as an expert in the mortgage field.
When Jim was a mortgage officer at one of Atlanta’s major mortgage lending firms, I enlisted his services on three occasions to secure suitable loans for my Lawrenceville home.
He is extremely knowledgeable of the products offered and their appropriate use.
Jim carefully explained my options along with the pros and cons of each. This combined with his thoroughness and attention to detail always resulted in the best results.
Loan closings were achieved in much shorter times than I imagined.
I completely trust Jim. He is a man of integrity and will always have me as a client.

Jim prides himself on going above and beyond for his customers and it shows. He truly is the best of the best!

Hey Jim,
I just wanted to write you a brief note and thank you very much for all of your help with my mortgage on my new home in Sandy Springs, GA. You were excellent to work with and it was very refreshing to have someone actually take the time to explain everything to me. Taking out a mortgage can be a very overwhelming experience, and you made it a very informative and enjoyable one for me! Overall, I had an incredible experience and it was due to the attention to detail, which I can not thank you enough for.
You were very thorough, very polite, very educated, and very honest and upfront about everything during the process. Please feel free to use me as a reference for any future business, as I would love to share my positive experience with anyone who has any questions.
Thanks again for all of your help and support through everything!

I’m typically not known as someone who doles out a lot of endorsements or testimonials, yet, when I come across an exceptional experience, I absolutely want to share it with the world. You see, my wife and I just recently purchased a fantastic home; however, the process was not without its share of obstacles. To a large degree, these challenges are merely a part of the world that we live in these days. The lending process will make you work and wear you out. Thankfully, we had Jim Clemente in our corner. He absolutely crushed it. Knocking it clear out of the park. As issues arose, he became the one individual that I could turn to whether the topic was in his official field of expertise or not. In the beginning, when I encountered a problem, I would place a call to my real estate agent to ask for guidance or advice and all I would get in response was “I don’t know”. Then I would turn to Jim. His reply, “I’m not sure, but, let me make a phone call”. Twenty minutes later he would call back saying “OK, here’s what I’ve found out and here’s what I’ve done to help resolve the issue”. Needless to say, he quickly became our trusted ally in helping to navigate the twists and turns of the journey. From my experience, it is so rare to find this level of service anywhere in the world today. But, for Jim, this is the essence of who he is and what he strives for every single day. I now am recommending Jim’s services, without hesitation, to anyone that I hear of who is about to embark on this endeavor for themselves.

When trying to refinance my house by myself for the first time, I was extremely nervous and was hoping for some hand holding. Jim came highly recommended from a friend and now I know why. He kept me updated daily and that really helped put my mind at ease. Going above and beyond is Jim's daily motto. We ran into some snags along the way, but with his fast corrective action was able to make my dream come true in time. He was able to accomplish exactly what I wanted. A huge thanks to Jim for all you do.

He was there when we had questions and he helped us refinance our home after several others would not. Most importantly, Jim helped us reach our goal of lowering our monthly payments. I would highly recommend Jim to anyone with mortgage needs. He will ensure the best possible outcome for your situation.

Jim - my words cannot express the gratitude I feel for your handling the streamline refinance of my home. You and I first talked 3 and a half years ago at which time you told me that it was not the right time for me to refinance. I don't know if you remember this but while you knew you would not have my business at that time, you took the time offer some financial "counseling" regarding other debt that I had. At that time you were very understanding and supportive. Since then, you have continued to focus on helping educators financing or refinance their homes, and the time was right for me to attempt a refinance again. I was "terrified" of the process, but you assured me that you would guide me every step of the way. Again, your encouragement provided me the assurance that closing would take place. AND IT DID!!! On time! Seamlessly!
So I thank you for helping me tackle this huge challenge, but more importantly I thank you for the service you provide to educators especially in these uncertain times.
Please don't hesitate to use me as a reference.

We told Jim Bowen after the purchase of our first house that he was our realtor for life, and we want you to be assured that, after working with you, you will be our broker for life. Thanks again and please let us know if we can be a reference for you.
Take care (and see you at our housewarming party, if we ever get unpacked !)

Jim,
After many disheartening and failed attempts of trying to refi my LPMI (Lender Paid Mortgage Insurance) loan held at a very large bank, I was about ready to give up and throw in the towel for good. Then my wife, a teacher at Holcomb Bridge Middle School, forwarded an email to me that had come across her computer. All I read in that email were two words "REFINANCE and LPMI." I figured I'd give Jim a call- 'why not, I could be disappointed again;' however, it was the best decision I've made in a long time!
Jim was able to do what no one else has been able to do- refi my LPMI mortgage on my primary mortgage. Jim was honest and up front with us at all levels. He provided feedback that ensured we were selecting the best option for our situation. We also have a rental that we wanted to refi, but after talking with Jim, he was up front and advised that we not do it from a "numbers" perspective.
Thanks to Jim for his many hours of work on our refi. As we have been doing, we will continue to recommend Jim to our neighbors, friends, family, or anyone else that mentions they are interested in a mortgage.
Have a great weekend!

John and I want to highly recommend Jim Clemente’s mortgage loan services to prospective customers. Because of the way he helped us navigate through the mortgage process on two prior occasions, we went to him again recently to discuss obtaining a mortgage on an investment property. Jim took the time to understand our circumstances, suggested more than one potential approach for our consideration, and carefully reviewed the specific costs and benefits of each so that we could make an informed decision. Jim was with us from concept all the way through closing; he got us a great program and rate; and everything went off without a hitch!

We let him know that we wanted a lower interest rate, lower payments and hopefully some extra money to help with our children's college education. By our first meeting, he had already put together a package that did just that for us. He explained in our terms how we would not only benefit in helping with our children's education but in the long run it was the right move for us in getting the most out of our mortgage. He was very efficient and it all happened so quickly that it was painless! We appreciated Jim's upfront honesty. We really enjoyed working with him.

Jim,
Just wanted to thank you for the great experience my wife and I had with our refinance. Your work exceeded our expectations resulting in a substantial savings on our monthly payment. The convenience of meeting in your office for only two short visits was a great help to us too. We really enjoyed meeting and working with you.

Jim Clemente hit a homerun for us when we refinanced. He was personal, professional and did work which would be above the call of duty. Part of this was his extra work to clear my name from a false credit report. He even helped my son. I stand behind this mortgage all-star.

My experience with the refinancing of my home was quick and effortless with the guidance of Jim Clemente. I was really nervous on whether to even refinance my home. Jim reassured me and guided me through the process, making it a painless and stress-free experience. Thank you again, Jim, for helping me through this procedure.

Dear Jim,
We closed on our refinance today as you are aware. I just wanted to thank you so much for your professionalism and advice during this process. You answered every phone call promptly and all queries I had, you never hesitated to answer in a reassuring manner. I am excited about the lower interest rate and the dream of ours to quickly pay off our house. Thank you for making this possible and working so diligently with us and for us. Your support made this process painless and I felt like you were not just a mortgage broker, but a confidante and friend. Thank you again.

Is this guy legit? This is what I asked myself when I received these emails until I saw one of my colleague’s comments at the bottom of his email. I contacted Jim to discuss a refinance on my house. He began our interaction with a conversation where he really listened to my needs and concerns. He then incorporated everything we discussed into a thoughtful, comprehensive strategy. He educated me about an option that I didn’t even know existed, an FHA streamline refinance. Jim is an articulate and global thinker. He explained everything very simply without making me feel simple. He answered all of my questions and was always available and responsive when I reached out to him (which was rare because he constantly kept me in the loop all the way through the process). Jim more than made good on all of his promises. I felt like he really went above and beyond for me but then I realized that this is how he operates for everyone! He is an honest man with high integrity. He is a true educator at heart, and taught me so much about the refinance process. Jim, thank you so much for being such a breath of fresh air! I will definitely call on you in the future. I really appreciate everything you have done for me. I highly recommend Jim! Yes, this guy is legit! Make sure to ask him about his new iPhone when you see him!

Jim made buying my first house a very smooth and fast process. I was amazed at how stress-free the process was. I am very thankful I chose to work with him. Jim was on top of any issues that arose and had them fixed before I could even start to worry. Getting a short sale can be a very complicated and a long process. However with Jim it was a very easy and peaceful process. As a teacher I don't have a lot of free time to spend on the phone, with Jim I didn't have to do all of that it was taken care of. I would like to thank Jim and the company for such a wonderful buying experience.

Dear Jim,
My wife and I wish to take this opportunity to show our appreciation for a smooth, seamless, and successful closing! Everything went like clockwork, even when we encountered the unanticipated issue with the title that presented a delay. Although this was outside your control, you took care of it; ensuring that the right people were contacted and that they followed through.
What was most significant was the fact that, despite the unavoidable delay, you made sure that we did not have to endure any changes to what we originally discussed and get stuck paying for someone else’s shortfall in processing our records so that everything was up to date. We greatly appreciate this most of all, because the purpose behind it all was to take advantage of the best rate possible and that did not change. In fact, we were pleasantly surprised that the interest rate turned out to be slightly less at closing and that we ended up with a better deal overall.
With everything that we have had going on lately, it was certainly refreshing to have someone manage everything. You were detailed, clear, and precise in explaining every step along the way. During the entire process we felt confident that you were looking out for our best interest and we were not disappointed.
Thanks again!

Although we were not able to make something happen due to the sheer fact that numbers do not lie, you pointed me in the right direction that proved to help me with my current mortgage and took your valuable time to talk to me and help me understand certain stipulations of my situation. I really appreciate your guided advice and probably would never have known about this path had I not called you. I will definitely let you know how things turn out and keep you posted about the status of what we talked about.

My husband and I recently decided to “take the plunge” and refinance our home. We were worried that, as the parents of two very active teenagers, it would be a difficult and time consuming process that would have to be squeezed in among our many other commitments. However, once we met and talked to Jim, we decided to undergo the process. Jim was an absolute pleasure to work with every step of the way. He communicated the steps to refinance clearly, answered our questions in a manner that we could understand, and kept us updated constantly with emails and phone calls. We were amazed and delighted at how easy the process was and how quickly we were able to close and take advantage of the low rates. Jim even went the extra mile and arranged all meetings, including the closing, around our jobs and our children’s schedules! Jim is an absolute delight to work with and the banking industry could learn a great deal, and improve in the process, by implementing Jim’s outstanding customer service! We have recommended Jim to several of our friends and will continue to do so in the future.

Good Evening Jim. Jim I would like to take this opportunity to express how pleased I am with the way you handled my mortgage. I was most impressed at how you searched and found me the best rate and locked in on the day that I met with you. I noticed a few weeks later the rate increased.
Jim, I would highly recommend you to assist anyone with their mortgage if they would like someone to truly handle the mortgage process as if it was their own.

We cannot begin to thank you enough for meeting with us and discussing our mortgage. Your guidance and insight were matched only by your patience with
our questions. We still can't believe that you took so much of your time and energy pulling our information together, going over it, and analyzing our
situation and then giving us your best advice - that we stay in the mortgage we have. Wow! You showed us that you truly have our best interest at heart. Even though we
couldn't do business with you at this time, you are certainly our first choice when we are ready to make that next move. We have already shared your name and
phone number with family and friends and we can't wait for them to experience your service.
Thank you again for all of your help.

Jim Clemente understands teachers! He has worked with enough of us to appreciate what we go through and how this lack-luster economy has affected us. Specifically, Jim helped my husband and me with re-financing our home. He provided options, unaware to us, that are available for teachers and government employees.
Jim took the time to explain (and re-explain, on several occasions) the details of the re-fi, how it would affect our monthly and long-term payments, and many of the benefits that we had not considered. Yes, the loan process required us to provide a good deal of information, but Jim helped us to understand what was required and why it was needed.
But here’s one thing that you need to know: Jim is responsive - highly responsive. He returned our calls as late as 7:00pm in the evening, from his home. He even met with us on a Saturday to better accommodate our schedule. This incredibly personal level of customer service is the reason we are writing this recommendation. Jim was our true advocate during the re-fi process.
No buyer’s remorse for us.
Thank You Jim!

To Future Clients,
I wanted to take the opportunity to provide you with a little feedback about Jim Clemente and Capital Mortgage. My wife and recently used Jim to finance our new home and to say his service was exceptional would be an understatement. My wife and I had been having a lot of issues trying to work with other lenders to find a loan for our new home because the most common occurrence was none of them would call us back! I still remember the first time I called Jim. It was a Saturday evening and he was at his home. Not only did he answer the phone, but also he spent over an hour on the phone with me getting all of my information and numbers so he could begin working on something for me. By Monday I had a callback from Jim and he had a lender that was willing to work with us. This rate of service was beyond exceptional in my mind and it continued throughout our entire buying process. Not only did he help us with the purchase of our new home, but he also answered questions about the sale of our previous home. This is a competitive market and lenders are looking for business, we all know that. The difference is Jim doesn’t look for business he earns it. I would highly recommend him for any of your purchasing needs because he always answered his calls, or called back in a reasonable amount of time. He was always willing to answer questions and be flexible to our needs, and most of all he was sitting with us at the closing table to make sure the numbers were correct and that we were comfortable with the purchase. Exceptional service, no questions asked. Please feel free to contact me if you would like to ask any questions or inquire further about my experience. Best of luck with your purchase!

Dear Jim,
Scott and I would like to take a moment to thank you for the tremendous job you did for us with regards to our recent refinance. Your professionalism and knowledge of the industry put us at ease during our initial appointment and gave us assurance that we now had someone that would truly work for our best interests. We appreciated your flexibility in scheduling so that no time would be lost to our employers. The extent to which you explained the various loan options and benefits that would result from the refinance established trust that we did not get elsewhere, gained our business, and gave us confidence that we had made the right decision. Your consistent and thorough communications during this seemingly short process were also much appreciated. Closing a mortgage loan has never been more pleasant! As we left the parking lot after signing our paperwork, my husband and I talked about how thankful we were that I didn’t delete your contact email. Thank you for entering our lives and changing our future by simply doing your job well. We extend our gratitude, and we will certainly send our family and friends your way in the future.

From the moment Jim called me, I felt a sense of honesty and security. The bond he built through our first conversation was AMAZING. I was nervous and skeptical about working with someone based on my profession as a law enforcement officer. However, Jim was professional and honest with me from the beginning. Likewise, he was informative, encouraging and allowed me to ask the most minute questions. He always explained and answered questions where I could understand. Whenever I needed him he was always available. As an officer, I often times have to step in and control a situation. I realized very quickly during the process of buying my home, that Jim had everything under control. He worked very well with my realtor to make the process less stressful. He was there for me throughout the entire process, even on closing day. Jim's projected numbers for closing were dead on, he is unbelievable. I remember him asking me, “How bad would you hate me if I could not make it to the Closing.” I responded pretty badly. He said “ok I will be there.” After we had closed he told me his son was home sick. He kept his word to the end. I trust what he tells me, and feel excited about my future goals. Jim's my Guy!!!

His attention to detail and constant diligence in working with the lender made for a very smooth mortgage process. He is completely client focused, and will stop at no end to make sure his client is informed, satisfied and happy. A true professional.

Dear Jim,
We were so delighted to close on our beautiful new home this weekend, and we just wanted to drop you a line to let you know how much we appreciated all your efforts to make our dream a reality. Purchasing a new home is always quite a process – especially for first-time home-buyers like us – but it is even more complicated when the buyers live 750 miles away! To have a dependable and astute mortgage broker, who was sensitive to all our concerns, smoothed what could have been an otherwise bumpy process and gave us such peace of mind. Thank you, again, for your excellent work.

Recently, I was looking to refinance my mortgage and was working with a lender at Suntrust. They were not returning my phone calls or sending me things through the mail like they promised. Friends of mine connected me with Jim Clemente, because they had gotten their mortgage through him and had been very pleased with the results. I contacted Jim, and he met with me that very day! He was so fast , efficient , and personable. Within three weeks I had closed on my refinance. What customer service! I could not be more happy with how things turned out!

My husband and I were in need of refinancing our home to a lower interest rate and had been looking around for the best possible deal. We read Jim Clemente’s e-mail that was send through our Hall County school e-mail and decided to investigate. After calling a couple of people that had left testimonials for Jim, we decided to contact him and have been very pleased with the service we received. It took less than a month to complete the refinance process and we were able to significantly reduce our mortgage rate and PMI insurance which lowered our monthly payment by $400.00! We never felt like we were being pressured and Jim was very upfront and open about the costs associated with our refinance. He kept in constant contact so we always knew exactly where we were in the process. If you are considering a new mortgage or a refinance, my husband and I whole-heartedly recommend you contact Jim Clemente.

I am a teacher in Fulton County and recently had the pleasure of dealing with Jim Clemente to refinance my mortgages into one consolidated loan. I was able to consolidate my 1st and 2nd for a very low fixed rate and save $130 on my mortgage a month. I still had a third mortgage to pay-off and Jim was able to help me find a great resource for my Equity line that was lower than my current interest rate and had 6 months interest free. At the last hour we found out that there was an outstanding lien on my house that my current mortgage holder missed when refinancing several years ago. Jim hustled around trying to get it all situated and because he is good at his job, overestimated the costs associated with the loan and was able to close the 4th mortgage without any additional cost to us. He did all the footwork and calling around and he was able to meet my needs to save money, decrease my payments and lower my interest rate. He gave us ideas on how to make the loans and our money work for us. He went above and beyond to help make our experience with him a great one.

Being a special education teacher in this era, I don’t have a spare moment. But timing, fate, and coincidence collided at just the right time. I had 3 months to refinance my home, rates had just bottomed out (couldn’t be better), and I hadn’t a clue where to go. So I opened up just one email from someone I did not know, before it hit the “trash.” My curiosity peaked; I made a phone call to Jim, who immediately roped me in. After one meeting, I was convinced that he would take care of everything for me and I would get an education at the same time.
From start to finish, (and it was just that quick), Jim secured the best rate for me, reduced my mortgage payments in a big way, and it was painless! I kept waiting for the bottom to drop out, and I would see the “catch.” But I’m done, have the new mortgage and no payments for 2 months, and there were no surprises.
Yes, timing was right, but more so, Jim was knowledgeable, professional, and was keyed into what teachers are all about. While filling out a form at our first meeting, he asked “How much do you make?” and chuckled when I told him I hadn’t a clue. He explained that most of the teachers he has worked with, didn’t know. He commented that he realized that teaching is from the heart and not the wallet; he knew teachers. This was a good sign.
When asked to write a testimonial letter, I didn’t hesitate. No doubt this was a great experience. Sometimes, good things just work out for no reason; they just do.

I highly recommend Jim Clemente with Teachers’ Financial as a mortgage consultant. I recently started a refinance with a large mortgage company (the one I had my original mortgage with). The process was painful, to say the least. The process was taking forever and they kept adding on closing costs and requesting more documents. I finally decided to check out what Jim had to offer. He was very straightforward and made the entire process simple. He answered all of my questions and explained everything so that I could understand it. The entire process only took two and a half weeks from the first phone call till closing! Best of all, I got a much lower interest rate! I wish I had called Jim first!

Dear Jim,
Thank you so much for handling the refinance of our mortgage, which you accomplished in a very thorough yet speedy fashion, less than three weeks to close. We especially appreciate your expertise in finding the error in our homeowners insurance premiums which saved us thousands of dollars. You made a notoriously complicated process quite painless and beneficial for my husband and me.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing this letter in support of the services that Jim Clemente provided while my wife and I were shopping for a mortgage for our new home. Jim not only provided the best product, he also provided outstanding service. Considering this, I have no problem enthusiastically recommending Jim to anyone.
I have purchased five homes and I have learned that mortgages are very different. I have also learned that rates, fees and costs vary widely. With that in mind, I shopped several different lenders and found that Jim offered the best rate through his educator’s program. He was also able to provide the lowest overall fees. Considering this, I think it is safe to say that I was able to save thousands of dollars by working with Jim.
Jim’s service and communication were outstanding in the entire process. Throughout the entire procedure, I felt fully informed. Jim clearly communicated everything that was necessary. In fact, I requested that the closing date be moved up and Jim basically jumped through numerous hoops to make this happen. I doubt, based on my past experiences, that this would have been possible with most other individuals in this field.
As aforementioned, I have purchased five different homes. I think it is safe to say that I have been through the mortgage process more than most. Based on this, I know that it is very important to shop and compare. In the home buying process, small details can end up costing thousands of dollars. I do believe that Jim offered the program that was the best fit for my family and me.
All the best in the home buying process,

Jim,
I can’t thank you enough for all your hard work on our mortgage refinance. You were pleasant, easy to work with and always available. I appreciate your accommodation of my and my husband’s hectic schedules. The rate we received is fantastic. This was such a wonderful experience. I will make sure I let my colleagues know how painless this process was. We are now saving enough money each month to get started on our basement remodel.
Thanks again for all your hard work.

Dear Jim-
We just wanted to take a few seconds and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all of your help in achieving our goal of a new house. Now that the house is closed we are very anxious to move and get ready before the baby comes! Speaking of…you promised that we'd get it done before the baby made his appearance, and you kept your promise!!!! Your personal attention and understanding during such a stressful time in our lives was very much appreciated. Jeremy and I know that your job isn't always an easy one, and we truly appreciate the after hours meetings, special trips to my school to sign paperwork, and numerous phone calls. We especially thank you for showing such integrity and a true care and concern for what was best for us. We give you the highest recommendation to anyone looking for a mortgage consultant!
Thank you again for your help and support!

Dear Jim,
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your time, expertise, and advice today. My husband and I have been “shopping” refinance options and have felt overwhelmed and leery of what is true and what might be “too good to be true.” Your explanation of the many pitfalls and what not to do really helped me to see what our path needs to be. Your FREE advice has helped us to develop new short term goals in order to get to our long term goal. Your honesty was refreshing, and I respect your deep knowledge of your field. Thank you for time and willingness to help. It will not be forgotten.

I appreciated the way you answered all my questions and the patience with which you did so. Because of your effort to make me happy, you presented me with many options to consider, and I was able to make an informed decision. I was also able to save money. The programs that you represent are very desireable and I would emphatically recommend you and those programs. I would also be happy to be a referral for you.

It was refreshing to be shown the answers to my questions in the documents both at the first appointment as well as the closing.
I had heard good things about you from other teachers and also read the testimonial letters from the teachers you have worked with in the past, and I was not disappointed. I would recommend that any teacher needing a mortgage give you a call.

After searching for the right lender to work with us to refinance our home, my husband and I felt you offered us the best opportunity to consolidate our mortgages and get the best interest rate possible through the teachers program. You stayed in touch, were easy to contact and closed the loan when you said you would. There were no surprises at the closing and the end result was exactly what you said it would be. We were very pleased with the outcome, your professionalism and how you handled the entire process for us. We would be happy to recommend your services to anyone looking to refinance a mortgage.

Thank you again for helping with the mortgage for my first home. I was nervous having not ever had a mortgage before but you explained everything to me, showed me the answers to my questions in the documents and did exactly what you said you would do. According to my real estate agent, the other lenders she works with do not even offer a program close to what your teachers program provided me. You were great. All I was hearing on the news was how hard it is to get a home loan; apparently you do not listen to the news! You are providing a great service to teachers and I will recommend you highly to teachers as well as my friends and family.

You provided some real world prospective for the students in the areas of credit worthiness, different types of loans that are offered, and the different rates associated with those loans. You not only explained how credit works, but you also shared your experience in finance, explaining the do's and don'ts that will help them steer away from getting into credit problems down the road. The students benefited from your presentation and we look forward to you returning and speaking again.

Jim,
I wanted to thank you for taking the time to talk with Dana and me about our mortgage and finances.
It was refreshing to sit down and talk with someone that was so knowledgeable and helpful and not out to
sell us something. You gave Dana and me a road map that will allow us to achieve our long term goals by
simply rearranging what we were already doing. You brought to our attention the importance of a time
line, and how to manage it so that we will be able to do what is required of us as our children go off to
college and we then plan for retirement.
I cannot speak about your mortgage loans because you showed us we did not need to refinance.
But if you’re just as professional with your mortgage customers as you were with us, your
customers are in good hands.
Thank you,

In our case, some unexpected challenges came up and you handled them perfectly, keeping us on track and delivering exactly what you promised with no surprises.
I guess the fact that I want you to refinance our rental property is a good indicator of how highly we think of you.
You are providing an invaluable service to teachers and faculty, and I will recommend you highly.

I wanted to take a minute and thank you for helping Jerry and I with our mortgage. You were personable, courteous and the consummate professional. It is clear that the teachers programs are your passion and you provided us with a loan program that we were not able find with other lenders.
By listening to our goals and plans you found a teacher's loan that would do exactly what we wanted. It was a tall order but you were persistent and found us what we needed.
We appreciate you keeping us informed through out the entire process. You not only answered our questions concerning the loan but showed us in writing, in the documents, where you got those answers from. That is the first time anyone has done that for us.
You are providing a great service to teachers and school faculty and I highly recommend you to every teacher.

We tried to refinance for a few years but couldn't due to the economy and home values. I called lenders about every four months or so to see if there were any programs that could help us and it always came down to home value. After speaking with a friend that is an appraiser and figuring out that our value was finally in the ball park I began dealing with a mortgage company. They slowly (over a few days) presented me with some numbers that were better than what we had but still not as low as I thought we could get based on current rates. My in-laws had just refinanced for a second time through Jim and suggested that I contact him. From the first time I talked to him I was extremely impressed not only with his customer service skills but with his knowledge and honesty. I did not tell him what the other company was offering and he actually told me he didn't want or need to know that information. He came back with a lower interest rate and lender paid PMI which lowered our payment an additional $200 from the other offer on the table. From start to finish Jim was a top notch guy who I would definitely do business with again in the future. It’s rare in today’s society to find anyone that truly cares and my wife and I know that Jim truly cared about getting our refinance handled in the quickest and easiest fashion possible. He did all of the work that he could possibly do so that we didn't have to take time out of our busy days to handle anything. I cannot stress enough how much we appreciate that hard work and dedication that Jim put into our refinance. As long as Jim is in the business we will never use anyone else.

We would highly recommend Jim and Sunview Mortgage. Jim was very thorough and kept us consistently and constantly updated on the process from beginning to end. He found a great rate for us that met our specific circumstances just right. And, he knew, because of those circumstances that the lender was going to be pretty demanding and detail oriented. So Jim was able to prep us and keep us ahead of the process. Jim was great to work with, very personable and we would certainly use his services again.

We would like to refer you to Sunview Mortgage Inc. It is without hesitation, we recommend in the highest regard, Jim Clemente, Sunview Mortgage Inc. President/Owner.
We were initially referred by our Realtor to Jim and several other brokers/lenders once we finalized the bid on our new home. When we spoke to the other brokers, they did not give us a sense of actually “caring” about our purchase and what it meant for our family, but more or less our dollars and cents.
We recognize that getting loans for folks is how mortgage brokers and lenders make their money. But when you are talking about purchasing a home; a place where you put your most treasured belongings, and want to raise the next generation of good, honest Americans, we needed someone who also understood what our home buying journey was all about.
Jim did just that. He took the time when others didn't; to explain what he does and how he does it, get to know us, and then explain the “why’s” and “how’s” of what we were embarking on.
Jim was constantly in contact with us, and our Realtor, to ensure our comfort and stay abreast of the purchase situation. When Jim said he would call us, he did…even if it was “after hours.”
We feel that Jim Clemente is a stand up business man. A man with a passion for what he does; to get you the best deal he can, while being honest, fair and forthright. I’m not sure how often you will find those words strung together in a referral letter for a mortgage broker, but for Jim, those are the words we would begin with, to describe him, and our experience.
Good luck on your home buying journey!
Sincerely,
Megan & Wes Jones

Thank-you for all you did to help me refinance the loan on my town-home. I am very happy you found me exactly what I was looking for, a lower interest and a shorter term on the loan. I was surprised to find the monthly payments were lowered as well. The entire refinancing experience was a breeze. In addition, I’d like to thank-you for being flexible with the closing and changing the time of it on such late notice.

Jim was referred to me by my amazing Realtor. I was skeptical at first, but trusted my Realtor and called him. After our first conversation, I was already confident Jim could do what he was promising, which was closing within 30 days on a VA loan!! He walked my husband and I through the process step by step, insuring we understood every single thing that was happening. He was on top of everything and had our loan closed within 30 days, as promised. He even went as far as to calm my anxious nerves throughout the process, by researching certain issues I had questioned. And he saved us a bunch of money in closing costs to boot!!! I would highly recommend Sunview Mortgage to anyone and everyone who needs financing. Thank you so much Jim and your team for your outstanding work and customer service!

I just wanted to say thanks for such a smooth process. I called you about a year ago and after looking at my situation you gave me pointers on what I could do to save me the most money. When I called you a year later, you remembered my situation and worked with me to get us the best rate and payment we could get. You answered phone calls at all times of the day and even helped us lower our home owners insurance rate. I appreciate all that you did for us with refinancing our home. I will recommend you to all of my friends and family. Thanks again!

Thank you so much for all your effort and diligence regarding our Conventional Home Mortgage. Even though we brought some challenges regarding the process, you never lost faith or confidence that we would be approved and living in our dream home. Throughout the entire process starting from when we were first referred to you, we were kept up to date of the status and any additional requirements. The monetary requirements were disclosed and explained in full detail; so we felt confident there were no hidden charges . Thank you so much for closing our mortgage and we love our new home!!!

A few months ago I tried refinancing my mortgage and was told that it could NOT be done. I received an email from a teacher that said she had refinanced with
Jim Clemente at Sunview Mortgage so I thought I would give him a call. After listening to our situation, he understood why the other lender could not help us, but believed he could. We just closed on our refinance and because of the extra effort that Jim put into our loan, we are saving over $450.00 per month on our
mortgage! This is incredible considering we were already told "NO" by another lender!
Jim did an outstanding job for us and I would recommend him to anyone purchasing or refinancing a home.

For anyone, especially teachers, considering a refinance or purchase of a home, you need to contact Jim Clemente with Sunview Mortgage. He has the knowledge, skills, and understanding of the business to get things done. We started working with Bank of America in November of 2012. In January 2013,
Bank of America told me that they were having trouble getting Greentree to subordinate our 2nd mortgage with them. They continued to try. In February, I went into a Wells Fargo asking for help and was basically told if Bank of America couldn't do it, then they couldn't either. In March, a friend of mine at another school sent out an email recommending Jim Clemente with Sunview Mortgage, so I sent him an email with the details of our issue. He knew exactly why Bank of America was having a hard time and knew the mistake they were making. My husband and I met with Jim within the week, and we closed on the loan within the month. After trying to refinance for four months with Bank of America, I was impressed that Jim got it done in less than a month. Beyond having the knowledge to do things others could not, he was also very helpful and explanatory. He is super easy to work, and I highly recommend him to others.

I had been thinking about refinancing for almost a year, but I kept putting it off and almost missed a great opportunity to refinance before the
laws changed. When I called Jim and told him I needed to refinance as soon as possible, he was surprisingly responsive and worked to get our loan
rates locked and closed with time to spare. Jim also did a great job explaining the refinance itself, so I knew all the costs being built into my
mortgage balance and I could make a smart, unbiased decision without being pressured to close into something I didn’t even understand. Overall, I
was very impressed with his speed and explanations, and I would highly recommend Jim to anyone who is looking to finance a new home loan.

My wife and I had been trying for months to get our house refinanced. We kept running into brick walls everywhere we turned. So I decided
to contact Jim for help. He was very nice and courteous on the phone and started immediately to help us with our refinance. Jim started to run into the same
problems we were, but was not discouraged and told us that he would do whatever it took to get our refinance done. He did just that. Although it took several
months to figure out what the problem was, Jim never gave up and was always very encouraging. Finally, we have refinanced our home and are saving a lot
of money. Jim was super nice and efficient. I would definitely recommend him. In fact, I recommended him to my sister and her husband and they have refinanced their home and a rental property with him.
Again we can't thank Jim enough for what he has done for us.
Thanks again Jim.

Dear Jim,
I would like to thank you for all the support you gave me in the recent purchase of my home. You were great in the early stages of house hunting, right on through closing. You initially helped me determine how much of a house I could realistically afford, so I knew what I was looking for in my search. All your explanations regarding mortgages and the closing process were easy to understand. At the closing, I knew exactly how things would flow and what I was signing. You told me there would be “no surprises’” and there were none.
I would, without hesitation, recommend you to anyone in the market for a home. Thanks you again for a very positive experience!

I cannot begin to thank you enough for all of your help in the refinancing process on my house. From our first meeting, to the closing on my house was only about 15 days. Jim was able to help get my interest rate dropped 1.5% which helped drop my payment dramatically. Jim is very much a numbers guy and is very thorough on what he does and makes sure that you understand what's happening through the entire process. I've actually referred my sister and a friend of mine to Jim to see if he can help them get their houses refi'd as well! This has been one of the most pleasant experiences I've ever had and will continue to promote and refer people to Jim.
Thanks again!

I can’t say enough good things about your dedication to teachers. We are looking forward to working with you in the future. You have definitely earned our business! We would highly recommend you and your company to anyone, especially teachers, that are in need of a mortgage loan or to refinance their current loan.

Last week we refinanced using Jim Clemente, the person Holly used a few
months back. He worked harder for me than anyone
else I have ever used for a loan of any type. He truly has the best
interest of the client in mind. He is fanatical about details and making
sure you and him are on the same page at all times. If you are even halfway
considering refinancing it is worth giving him a call. I felt we would be
upside down too much to be able to refinance but with the interest rates so low I
figured I would take a chance. Very glad I did. My original loan was at
5.5% for 30 yrs. I am now in a 15 year loan at 2.85%--my payment went up $49
a month...but we are saving over $211,000 by dropping 11 years of the original
loan!!! Again I almost did not call him, but after Holly put that out, I
figured all I had to lose was $450 on an appraisal...so much for that
thought!!! Give him a call you may be surprised like I was!

Dear Jim,
It was indeed a pleasure working with you on our Refinance package. Debbie and I had been talking about it for quite some time, but never seemed to find the right deal. From start to finish, you made everything as clear and simple as possible. With some of the horrors we have seen with other cases, this was a breath of fresh air. Your commitment to make this work from the beginning, shows your dedication and "can do" attitude towards your clients. I know that you will have the opportunity to work with others in the future, and we only hope that their experience can match the one we had with you. Thanks again for your help in making this possible.

You went beyond what most folks would do just to make sure I was happy. You were so dedicated in making the loan process easy. Always picked up the phone and returned calls ASAP. I know I must have asked a 100 questions but you did not mind. I look forward working with you this fall to finance my second home in the mountains.

We received this email the week before Christmas break and I didn't pay much attention to it. Over the break, I looked at it, thought "What the heck?" and I will give him a call. He was amazing!!!! We just closed on our loan yesterday and he saved us $323/month on our mortgage with NO
APPRAISAL. He is so family orientated and kid friendly. We had to take
Brody when we met him and he had stuff for him to do and even let him "sign" some of the paperwork. When we closed yesterday, he met us halfway with the lawyer, after school, to accommodate where we lived.
If you are thinking of refinancing your house and didn't know the right steps, at least give him a call and see what he can do for you.

In an era when customer service is truly no longer a priority, you are the exception. Having bought and financed several homes and dealt with other mortgage people, our experience with you was not only expeditious and courteous, it was also pleasant and customer service oriented. From the very beginning you provided accurate information and a consideration of all of the possibilities available to us, noting those that would be most beneficial.
I applaud you for focusing on teachers and doing an excellent job of meeting our needs. I must say, the 'door-to-door' service was wonderful. Your kindness and consideration was greatly appreciated.

We want to convey our thanks for your work on our refinance. Every time we thought to inquire about the status, you anticipated us and called with an update. The speed with which you directed the process, from the initial application through the appraisal to the closing, was impressive. We first met with you on October 18 and closed the refinance on November 19. A fellow in my office has been waiting for at least six months for his national bank to process his refinance application. I have given him your contact information and sung your praises.

Jim,
I cannot thank you enough for your guidance and help in refinancing my recent mortgage loan. I had been told by another firm that it would not be possible without making many adjustments to my financial base. I had been discouraged and put the idea of refinance out of the question. I then spoke with two other counselors in our county who had just finished closing with you on refinancing their individual homes. They were extremely pleased with your efficiency and the ability to get in touch with you easily throughout the entire process. I immediately felt a trust level in you and knew you would look out for my best interest which I honestly feel you have done.
I would recommend you without reservation to anyone who needed your assistance in refinancing their home.
Gratefully,

It is my great pleasure to offer my endorsement of Jim Clemente as an expert in the mortgage field.
When Jim was a mortgage officer at one of Atlanta’s major mortgage lending firms, I enlisted his services on three occasions to secure suitable loans for my Lawrenceville home.
He is extremely knowledgeable of the products offered and their appropriate use.
Jim carefully explained my options along with the pros and cons of each. This combined with his thoroughness and attention to detail always resulted in the best results.
Loan closings were achieved in much shorter times than I imagined.
I completely trust Jim. He is a man of integrity and will always have me as a client.
Best regards,

We were referred to Jim by one of his previous clients. From the first call, Jim was very thorough in researching and explaining our options. He took the time to fully understand our overall objectives and financial goals. In doing so, he exceeded our expectations in helping us achieve them. In addition, he knows how to make his customers feel comfortable. He uses terminology that is easy to understand and his follow up to questions and routine communications are quick and detailed. Jim prides himself on going above and beyond for his customers and it shows. He truly is the best of the best! We are very pleased with the level of service and commitment that Jim has for his business, which is why we will continue to work with him in the future and happily refer him to everyone we know!

Hey Jim,
I just wanted to write you a brief note and thank you very much for all of your help with my mortgage on my new home in Sandy Springs, GA. You were excellent to work with and it was very refreshing to have someone actually take the time to explain everything to me. Taking out a mortgage can be a very overwhelming experience, and you made it a very informative and enjoyable one for me! Overall, I had an incredible experience and it was due to the attention to detail, which I can not thank you enough for.
You were very thorough, very polite, very educated, and very honest and upfront about everything during the process. Please feel free to use me as a reference for any future business, as I would love to share my positive experience with anyone who has any questions.
Thanks again for all of your help and support through everything!

I’m typically not known as someone who doles out a lot of endorsements or testimonials, yet, when I come across an exceptional experience, I absolutely want to share it with the world. You see, my wife and I just recently purchased a fantastic home; however, the process was not without its share of obstacles. To a large degree, these challenges are merely a part of the world that we live in these days. The lending process will make you work and wear you out. Thankfully, we had Jim Clemente in our corner. He absolutely crushed it. Knocking it clear out of the park. As issues arose, he became the one individual that I could turn to whether the topic was in his official field of expertise or not. In the beginning, when I encountered a problem, I would place a call to my real estate agent to ask for guidance or advice and all I would get in response was “I don’t know”. Then I would turn to Jim. His reply, “I’m not sure, but, let me make a phone call”. Twenty minutes later he would call back saying “OK, here’s what I’ve found out and here’s what I’ve done to help resolve the issue”. Needless to say, he quickly became our trusted ally in helping to navigate the twists and turns of the journey. From my experience, it is so rare to find this level of service anywhere in the world today. But, for Jim, this is the essence of who he is and what he strives for every single day. I now am recommending Jim’s services, without hesitation, to anyone that I hear of who is about to embark on this endeavor for themselves.

When trying to refinance my house by myself for the first time, I was extremely nervous and was hoping for some hand holding. Jim came highly recommended from a friend and now I know why. He kept me updated daily and that really helped put my mind at ease. Going above and beyond is Jim's daily motto. We ran into some snags along the way, but with his fast corrective action was able to make my dream come true in time. He was able to accomplish exactly what I wanted. A huge thanks to Jim for all you do.

I can’t say enough about our experience with Jim. He came highly recommended to us and now we know why. From our first conversation to closing, Jim made the entire process easy. He was there when we had questions and he helped us refinance our home after several others would not. Most importantly, Jim helped us reach our goal of lowering our monthly payments. I would highly recommend Jim to anyone with mortgage needs. He will ensure the best possible outcome for your situation.

Jim - my words cannot express the gratitude I feel for your handling the streamline refinance of my home. You and I first talked 3 and a half years ago at which time you told me that it was not the right time for me to refinance. I don't know if you remember this but while you knew you would not have my business at that time, you took the time offer some financial "counseling" regarding other debt that I had. At that time you were very understanding and supportive. Since then, you have continued to focus on helping educators financing or refinance their homes, and the time was right for me to attempt a refinance again. I was "terrified" of the process, but you assured me that you would guide me every step of the way. Again, your encouragement provided me the assurance that closing would take place. AND IT DID!!! On time! Seamlessly!
So I thank you for helping me tackle this huge challenge, but more importantly I thank you for the service you provide to educators especially in these uncertain times.
Please don't hesitate to use me as a reference.

Andy and I want to thank you for the outstanding job you did in terms of securing the loan for our recent home purchase, and to let you know how grateful we are for the extent to which you worked to make sure we had the best loan at the best interest rate possible.
We told Jim Bowen after the purchase of our first house that he was our realtor for life, and we want you to be assured that, after working with you, you will be our broker for life. Thanks again and please let us know if we can be a reference for you.
Take care (and see you at our housewarming party, if we ever get unpacked !)

Jim,
After many disheartening and failed attempts of trying to refi my LPMI (Lender Paid Mortgage Insurance) loan held at a very large bank, I was about ready to give up and throw in the towel for good. Then my wife, a teacher at Holcomb Bridge Middle School, forwarded an email to me that had come across her computer. All I read in that email were two words "REFINANCE and LPMI." I figured I'd give Jim a call- 'why not, I could be disappointed again;' however, it was the best decision I've made in a long time!
Jim was able to do what no one else has been able to do- refi my LPMI mortgage on my primary mortgage. Jim was honest and up front with us at all levels. He provided feedback that ensured we were selecting the best option for our situation. We also have a rental that we wanted to refi, but after talking with Jim, he was up front and advised that we not do it from a "numbers" perspective.
Thanks to Jim for his many hours of work on our refi. As we have been doing, we will continue to recommend Jim to our neighbors, friends, family, or anyone else that mentions they are interested in a mortgage.
Have a great weekend!

John and I want to highly recommend Jim Clemente’s mortgage loan services to prospective customers. Because of the way he helped us navigate through the mortgage process on two prior occasions, we went to him again recently to discuss obtaining a mortgage on an investment property. Jim took the time to understand our circumstances, suggested more than one potential approach for our consideration, and carefully reviewed the specific costs and benefits of each so that we could make an informed decision. Jim was with us from concept all the way through closing; he got us a great program and rate; and everything went off without a hitch!

We contacted Jim to see if he could help us with a refinance of our current mortgage. We let him know that we wanted a lower interest rate, lower payments and hopefully some extra money to help with our children's college education. By our first meeting, he had already put together a package that did just that for us. He explained in our terms how we would not only benefit in helping with our children's education but in the long run it was the right move for us in getting the most out of our mortgage. He was very efficient and it all happened so quickly that it was painless! We appreciated Jim's upfront honesty. We really enjoyed working with him.

You answered every phone call promptly and all queries I had, you never hesitated to answer in a reassuring manner. I am excited about the lower interest rate and the dream of ours to quickly pay off our house. Thank you for making this possible and working so diligently with us and for us. Your support made this process painless and I felt like you were not just a mortgage broker, but a confidante and friend. Thank you again.

Is this guy legit? This is what I asked myself when I received these emails until I saw one of my colleague’s comments at the bottom of his email. I contacted Jim to discuss a refinance on my house. He began our interaction with a conversation where he really listened to my needs and concerns. He then incorporated everything we discussed into a thoughtful, comprehensive strategy. He educated me about an option that I didn’t even know existed, an FHA streamline refinance. Jim is an articulate and global thinker. He explained everything very simply without making me feel simple. He answered all of my questions and was always available and responsive when I reached out to him (which was rare because he constantly kept me in the loop all the way through the process). Jim more than made good on all of his promises. I felt like he really went above and beyond for me but then I realized that this is how he operates for everyone! He is an honest man with high integrity. He is a true educator at heart, and taught me so much about the refinance process. Jim, thank you so much for being such a breath of fresh air! I will definitely call on you in the future. I really appreciate everything you have done for me. I highly recommend Jim! Yes, this guy is legit! Make sure to ask him about his new iPhone when you see him!

Jim made buying my first house a very smooth and fast process. I was amazed at how stress-free the process was. I am very thankful I chose to work with him. Jim was on top of any issues that arose and had them fixed before I could even start to worry. Getting a short sale can be a very complicated and a long process. However with Jim it was a very easy and peaceful process. As a teacher I don't have a lot of free time to spend on the phone, with Jim I didn't have to do all of that it was taken care of. I would like to thank Jim and the company for such a wonderful buying experience.

Dear Jim,
My wife and I wish to take this opportunity to show our appreciation for a smooth, seamless, and successful closing! Everything went like clockwork, even when we encountered the unanticipated issue with the title that presented a delay. Although this was outside your control, you took care of it; ensuring that the right people were contacted and that they followed through.
What was most significant was the fact that, despite the unavoidable delay, you made sure that we did not have to endure any changes to what we originally discussed and get stuck paying for someone else’s shortfall in processing our records so that everything was up to date. We greatly appreciate this most of all, because the purpose behind it all was to take advantage of the best rate possible and that did not change. In fact, we were pleasantly surprised that the interest rate turned out to be slightly less at closing and that we ended up with a better deal overall.
With everything that we have had going on lately, it was certainly refreshing to have someone manage everything. You were detailed, clear, and precise in explaining every step along the way. During the entire process we felt confident that you were looking out for our best interest and we were not disappointed.
Thanks again!

Although we were not able to make something happen due to the sheer fact that numbers do not lie, you pointed me in the right direction that proved to help me with my current mortgage and took your valuable time to talk to me and help me understand certain stipulations of my situation. I really appreciate your guided advice and probably would never have known about this path had I not called you. I will definitely let you know how things turn out and keep you posted about the status of what we talked about.

My husband and I recently decided to “take the plunge” and refinance our home. We were worried that, as the parents of two very active teenagers, it would be a difficult and time consuming process that would have to be squeezed in among our many other commitments. However, once we met and talked to Jim, we decided to undergo the process. Jim was an absolute pleasure to work with every step of the way. He communicated the steps to refinance clearly, answered our questions in a manner that we could understand, and kept us updated constantly with emails and phone calls. We were amazed and delighted at how easy the process was and how quickly we were able to close and take advantage of the low rates. Jim even went the extra mile and arranged all meetings, including the closing, around our jobs and our children’s schedules! Jim is an absolute delight to work with and the banking industry could learn a great deal, and improve in the process, by implementing Jim’s outstanding customer service! We have recommended Jim to several of our friends and will continue to do so in the future.

our questions. We still can't believe that you took so much of your time and energy pulling our information together, going over it, and analyzing our
situation and then giving us your best advice - that we stay in the mortgage we have. Wow! You showed us that you truly have our best interest at heart. Even though we
couldn't do business with you at this time, you are certainly our first choice when we are ready to make that next move. We have already shared your name and

Jim Clemente understands teachers! He has worked with enough of us to appreciate what we go through and how this lack-luster economy has affected us. Specifically, Jim helped my husband and me with re-financing our home. He provided options, unaware to us, that are available for teachers and government employees.
Jim took the time to explain (and re-explain, on several occasions) the details of the re-fi, how it would affect our monthly and long-term payments, and many of the benefits that we had not considered. Yes, the loan process required us to provide a good deal of information, but Jim helped us to understand what was required and why it was needed.
But here’s one thing that you need to know: Jim is responsive - highly responsive. He returned our calls as late as 7:00pm in the evening, from his home. He even met with us on a Saturday to better accommodate our schedule. This incredibly personal level of customer service is the reason we are writing this recommendation. Jim was our true advocate during the re-fi process.
No buyer’s remorse for us.
Thank You Jim!

To Future Clients,
I wanted to take the opportunity to provide you with a little feedback about Jim Clemente and Capital Mortgage. My wife and recently used Jim to finance our new home and to say his service was exceptional would be an understatement. My wife and I had been having a lot of issues trying to work with other lenders to find a loan for our new home because the most common occurrence was none of them would call us back! I still remember the first time I called Jim. It was a Saturday evening and he was at his home. Not only did he answer the phone, but also he spent over an hour on the phone with me getting all of my information and numbers so he could begin working on something for me. By Monday I had a callback from Jim and he had a lender that was willing to work with us. This rate of service was beyond exceptional in my mind and it continued throughout our entire buying process. Not only did he help us with the purchase of our new home, but he also answered questions about the sale of our previous home. This is a competitive market and lenders are looking for business, we all know that. The difference is Jim doesn’t look for business he earns it. I would highly recommend him for any of your purchasing needs because he always answered his calls, or called back in a reasonable amount of time. He was always willing to answer questions and be flexible to our needs, and most of all he was sitting with us at the closing table to make sure the numbers were correct and that we were comfortable with the purchase. Exceptional service, no questions asked. Please feel free to contact me if you would like to ask any questions or inquire further about my experience. Best of luck with your purchase!

Dear Jim,
Scott and I would like to take a moment to thank you for the tremendous job you did for us with regards to our recent refinance. Your professionalism and knowledge of the industry put us at ease during our initial appointment and gave us assurance that we now had someone that would truly work for our best interests. We appreciated your flexibility in scheduling so that no time would be lost to our employers. The extent to which you explained the various loan options and benefits that would result from the refinance established trust that we did not get elsewhere, gained our business, and gave us confidence that we had made the right decision. Your consistent and thorough communications during this seemingly short process were also much appreciated. Closing a mortgage loan has never been more pleasant! As we left the parking lot after signing our paperwork, my husband and I talked about how thankful we were that I didn’t delete your contact email. Thank you for entering our lives and changing our future by simply doing your job well. We extend our gratitude, and we will certainly send our family and friends your way in the future.

From the moment Jim called me, I felt a sense of honesty and security. The bond he built through our first conversation was AMAZING. I was nervous and skeptical about working with someone based on my profession as a law enforcement officer. However, Jim was professional and honest with me from the beginning. Likewise, he was informative, encouraging and allowed me to ask the most minute questions. He always explained and answered questions where I could understand. Whenever I needed him he was always available. As an officer, I often times have to step in and control a situation. I realized very quickly during the process of buying my home, that Jim had everything under control. He worked very well with my realtor to make the process less stressful. He was there for me throughout the entire process, even on closing day. Jim's projected numbers for closing were dead on, he is unbelievable. I remember him asking me, “How bad would you hate me if I could not make it to the Closing.” I responded pretty badly. He said “ok I will be there.” After we had closed he told me his son was home sick. He kept his word to the end. I trust what he tells me, and feel excited about my future goals. Jim's my Guy!!! Thank you Jim,

Jim Clemente was an invaluable asset for my wife and I in the purchase of our home. He went above and beyond my expectations, and was available to answer any and all questions whether it be 1 PM on a Tuesday or 5 PM on a Sunday! His attention to detail and constant diligence in working with the lender made for a very smooth mortgage process. He is completely client focused, and will stop at no end to make sure his client is informed, satisfied and happy. A true professional.

Dear Jim,
We were so delighted to close on our beautiful new home this weekend, and we just wanted to drop you a line to let you know how much we appreciated all your efforts to make our dream a reality. Purchasing a new home is always quite a process – especially for first-time home-buyers like us – but it is even more complicated when the buyers live 750 miles away! To have a dependable and astute mortgage broker, who was sensitive to all our concerns, smoothed what could have been an otherwise bumpy process and gave us such peace of mind. Thank you, again, for your excellent work.

Recently, I was looking to refinance my mortgage and was working with a lender at Suntrust. They were not returning my phone calls or sending me things through the mail like they promised. Friends of mine connected me with Jim Clemente, because they had gotten their mortgage through him and had been very pleased with the results. I contacted Jim, and he met with me that very day! He was so fast , efficient , and personable. Within three weeks I had closed on my refinance. What customer service! I could not be more happy with how things turned out!

My husband and I were in need of refinancing our home to a lower interest rate and had been looking around for the best possible deal. We read Jim Clemente’s e-mail that was send through our Hall County school e-mail and decided to investigate. After calling a couple of people that had left testimonials for Jim, we decided to contact him and have been very pleased with the service we received. It took less than a month to complete the refinance process and we were able to significantly reduce our mortgage rate and PMI insurance which lowered our monthly payment by $400.00! We never felt like we were being pressured and Jim was very upfront and open about the costs associated with our refinance. He kept in constant contact so we always knew exactly where we were in the process. If you are considering a new mortgage or a refinance, my husband and I whole-heartedly recommend you contact Jim Clemente.

I am a teacher in Fulton County and recently had the pleasure of dealing with Jim Clemente to refinance my mortgages into one consolidated loan. I was able to consolidate my 1st and 2nd for a very low fixed rate and save $130 on my mortgage a month. I still had a third mortgage to pay-off and Jim was able to help me find a great resource for my Equity line that was lower than my current interest rate and had 6 months interest free. At the last hour we found out that there was an outstanding lien on my house that my current mortgage holder missed when refinancing several years ago. Jim hustled around trying to get it all situated and because he is good at his job, overestimated the costs associated with the loan and was able to close the 4th mortgage without any additional cost to us. He did all the footwork and calling around and he was able to meet my needs to save money, decrease my payments and lower my interest rate. He gave us ideas on how to make the loans and our money work for us. He went above and beyond to help make our experience with him a great one.

Jim,
Thank you for your help in refinancing our home while keeping our financial goals in mind. We found you to be knowledgeable and thorough in explaining the process. It is obvious that you keep current on any changes in the requirements for a home loan. You expedited the refinance process and stayed in contact with us to keep us informed. When the final papers were signed we found you to be true to your word that “there would be no surprises”.

“Jim was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain the process fully, and seemed to genuinely care.
I had no idea that my credit was the way it was, but Jim gave me some suggestions to increase my score. Within a month, I was approved – my credit went up that much.
Closing was a breeze, as Jim took care of everything.
Yes, I would recommend him to anyone. He helped us tremendously.”

Being a special education teacher in this era, I don’t have a spare moment. But timing, fate, and coincidence collided at just the right time. I had 3 months to refinance my home, rates had just bottomed out (couldn’t be better), and I hadn’t a clue where to go. So I opened up just one email from someone I did not know, before it hit the “trash.” My curiosity peaked; I made a phone call to Jim, who immediately roped me in. After one meeting, I was convinced that he would take care of everything for me and I would get an education at the same time.
From start to finish, (and it was just that quick), Jim secured the best rate for me, reduced my mortgage payments in a big way, and it was painless! I kept waiting for the bottom to drop out, and I would see the “catch.” But I’m done, have the new mortgage and no payments for 2 months, and there were no surprises.
Yes, timing was right, but more so, Jim was knowledgeable, professional, and was keyed into what teachers are all about. While filling out a form at our first meeting, he asked “How much do you make?” and chuckled when I told him I hadn’t a clue. He explained that most of the teachers he has worked with, didn’t know. He commented that he realized that teaching is from the heart and not the wallet; he knew teachers. This was a good sign.
When asked to write a testimonial letter, I didn’t hesitate. No doubt this was a great experience. Sometimes, good things just work out for no reason; they just do.

Most important, you got us a great rate that will help us meet our financial objectives.
I would be happy to offer a reference for you to other potential mortgage seekers.

We definitely want to THANK Jim Clemente for walking us through the refinance process. He was extremely personable and walked us through step by step what we could do.

I highly recommend Jim Clemente with Teachers’ Financial as a mortgage consultant. I recently started a refinance with a large mortgage company (the one I had my original mortgage with). The process was painful, to say the least. The process was taking forever and they kept adding on closing costs and requesting more documents. I finally decided to check out what Jim had to offer. He was very straightforward and made the entire process simple. He answered all of my questions and explained everything so that I could understand it. The entire process only took two and a half weeks from the first phone call till closing! Best of all, I got a much lower interest rate! I wish I had called Jim first!

To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing this letter in support of the services that Jim Clemente provided while my wife and I were shopping for a mortgage for our new home. Jim not only provided the best product, he also provided outstanding service. Considering this, I have no problem enthusiastically recommending Jim to anyone.
I have purchased five homes and I have learned that mortgages are very different. I have also learned that rates, fees and costs vary widely. With that in mind, I shopped several different lenders and found that Jim offered the best rate through his educator’s program. He was also able to provide the lowest overall fees. Considering this, I think it is safe to say that I was able to save thousands of dollars by working with Jim.
Jim’s service and communication were outstanding in the entire process. Throughout the entire procedure, I felt fully informed. Jim clearly communicated everything that was necessary. In fact, I requested that the closing date be moved up and Jim basically jumped through numerous hoops to make this happen. I doubt, based on my past experiences, that this would have been possible with most other individuals in this field.
As aforementioned, I have purchased five different homes. I think it is safe to say that I have been through the mortgage process more than most. Based on this, I know that it is very important to shop and compare. In the home buying process, small details can end up costing thousands of dollars. I do believe that Jim offered the program that was the best fit for my family and me.
All the best in the home buying process,

I can’t thank you enough for all your hard work on our mortgage refinance. You were pleasant, easy to work with and always available. I appreciate your accommodation of my and my husband’s hectic schedules. The rate we received is fantastic. This was such a wonderful experience. I will make sure I let my colleagues know how painless this process was. We are now saving enough money each month to get started on our basement remodel.
Thanks again for all your hard work.

We just wanted to take a few seconds and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all of your help in achieving our goal of a new house. Now that the house is closed we are very anxious to move and get ready before the baby comes! Speaking of…you promised that we'd get it done before the baby made his appearance, and you kept your promise!!!! Your personal attention and understanding during such a stressful time in our lives was very much appreciated. Jeremy and I know that your job isn't always an easy one, and we truly appreciate the after hours meetings, special trips to my school to sign paperwork, and numerous phone calls. We especially thank you for showing such integrity and a true care and concern for what was best for us. We give you the highest recommendation to anyone looking for a mortgage consultant!
Thank you again for your help and support!

Dear Jim,
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your time, expertise, and advice today. My husband and I have been “shopping” refinance options and have felt overwhelmed and leery of what is true and what might be “too good to be true.” Your explanation of the many pitfalls and what not to do really helped me to see what our path needs to be. Your FREE advice has helped us to develop new short term goals in order to get to our long term goal. Your honesty was refreshing, and I respect your deep knowledge of your field. Thank you for time and willingness to help. It will not be forgotten.

I had heard good things about you from other teachers and also read the testimonial letters from the teachers you have worked with in the past, and I was not disappointed. I would recommend that any teacher needing a mortgage give you a call.

You stayed in touch, were easy to contact and closed the loan when you said you would. There were no surprises at the closing and the end result was exactly what you said it would be. We were very pleased with the outcome, your professionalism and how you handled the entire process for us. We would be happy to recommend your services to anyone looking to refinance a mortgage.

Thank you again for helping with the mortgage for my first home. I was nervous having not ever had a mortgage before but you explained everything to me, showed me the answers to my questions in the documents and did exactly what you said you would do. According to my real estate agent, the other lenders she works with do not even offer a program close to what your teachers program provided me. You were great. All I was hearing on the news was how hard it is to get a home loan; apparently you do not listen to the news! You are providing a great service to teachers and I will recommend you highly to teachers as well as my friends and family.

You not only explained how credit works, but you also shared your experience in finance, explaining the do's and don'ts that will help them steer away from getting into credit problems down the road. The students benefited from your presentation and we look forward to you returning and speaking again.

Jim,
I wanted to thank you for taking the time to talk with Dana and me about our mortgage and finances.
It was refreshing to sit down and talk with someone that was so knowledgeable and helpful and not out to
sell us something. You gave Dana and me a road map that will allow us to achieve our long term goals by
simply rearranging what we were already doing. You brought to our attention the importance of a time
line, and how to manage it so that we will be able to do what is required of us as our children go off to
college and we then plan for retirement.
I cannot speak about your mortgage loans because you showed us we did not need to refinance.
But if you’re just as professional with your mortgage customers as you were with us, your
customers are in good hands.
Thank you,

I wanted to take a minute and thank you for helping Jerry and I with our mortgage. You were personable, courteous and the consummate professional. It is clear that the teachers programs are your passion and you provided us with a loan program that we were not able find with other lenders.
By listening to our goals and plans you found a teacher's loan that would do exactly what we wanted. It was a tall order but you were persistent and found us what we needed.
We appreciate you keeping us informed through out the entire process. You not only answered our questions concerning the loan but showed us in writing, in the documents, where you got those answers from. That is the first time anyone has done that for us.
You are providing a great service to teachers and school faculty and I highly recommend you to every teacher.
