About James Hampton

A lifelong Chicagoan, I proudly serve clients in several states throughout the country. With more than 22 years of experience as a Loan Officer, I specialize in lending to self-employed clients, low-to-moderate income lending programs, first-time homebuyer programs, conforming loans, and jumbo mortgages. Most of all, I take pride in helping families turn their Dream of Homeownership to Reality.

Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, a homeowner looking to refinance, or are shopping for an investment property, I’m here to help you find the right mortgage to fit your needs. Starting with a review of your finances, I’ll help you get a clear picture of what might work best for you. I’ll explain your options, answer any questions you may have, keep you informed, and guide you through every step of the mortgage process. Above all, I want to ensure that you have a positive home lending experience.

I’m a father of three boys, a husband of 28 years, and a dedicated man of faith. When I’m not hard at work helping clients, you can find me spending quality time with my wife and our four grandchildren, watching the Bulls and the Bears, or traveling to new places.
