Jim was recommended to my husband and I to help us with a home improvement loan. We researched a number of other possibilities before deciding to work with Jim. He was able to get us a great rate, kept in close communication, and made sure everything went smoothly. We are so happy we made this decision. If you are searching for the right person to help you get a loan, don't hesitate to work with Jim. He's awesome!!!

This was the quickest and most pleasant experience I’ve had doing business. Very professional friendly and efficient. Thank you for taking any stress or possible frustration out of procuring my home loan.

Jim worked above and beyond to secure two second mortgages for us simultaneously. The process was quick and efficient. I have never had a loan process so quick, about 2 weeks from starting the process to funding. Jim was also a pleasure to work with and always communicated and answered my questions quickly. I highly recommend Jim for any loan needs. We will be needing Jim’s help again when rates drop for a refinance.

Close to 30 years in real estate now and Jim is hands down one of the best loan officers we have ever worked with!

In addition to exceptional service, Jim is also just an incredibly nice guy!

My wife and I recently refinanced our house. Our Mortgage Broker Jim Apessos (Barrett Financial Group) was incredibly knowledgeable and made the entire process easy to understand from start to finish. Jim and his team were highly efficient, ensuring every step stayed on track without delays. Jim's communication gave us confidence throughout the process. Thanks to his professionalism and speed, our refinance went smoothly and closed quickly.

2026-03-12T19:25:23.720Z

Jim was a dream to work with. I had struggled with another person/company who could not get the job done over a6 month period.Not only did Jim use his resources to secure a loan in less than a month, he went the extra mile to correct an issue with my title and provided documents and instructions on how to correct an issue with my property tax bill.I will look to Jim for future needs and share him info with friends.

2026-02-10T17:02:35.525Z

2026-02-06T19:14:00.608Z

We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Jim Apessos. From day one, Jim treated us like family, not just another loan file. My husband is a Veteran, and Jim’s knowledge of the VA loan process was incredible — he explained everything clearly, answered every question (no matter how small), and was always just a call or text away. He made what could have been an overwhelming process feel smooth, organized, and honestly stress-free. Jim went above and beyond for us, and we are so grateful for his dedication and professionalism. We would recommend Jim Apessos a thousand times over, especially to fellow Veterans and their families.Dani and Justin Mishock

Their communication was consistently clear, timely, and proactive, which made an otherwise stressful and fast‑moving process feel manageable and well‑supported.Despite a choppy workflow with the lender, Jim and the team stayed focused, persistent, and solution‑oriented. They kept everything moving forward, stepped in at the right moments, and navigated several complex issues behind the scenes with professionalism and transparency.My wife and I are sincerely grateful for the team’s dedication, perseverance, excellent communication, and commitment to getting our loan cleared on the timeline we needed. And, most importantly, enjoying our new home!We highly recommend Jim and the Barrett Financial Group and would gladly work with them again.

Jim has helped me multiple times over the years...he listened to what I needed and he delivered. He is truly a pleasure to work with!

2025-08-28T15:19:20.069Z

Jim is what every professional should strive to be - attentive, very knowledgeable about his field, fast and reliable! I consider myself lucky to have found Jim - he helped us refinance our house in the most convenient, timely and painless fashion possible. The whole process, start to finish, took 2 weeks and involved one or two phone conversations. After the initial conversation, most everything can be done on-line (which I did).Jim followed up 6 months later to offer a no fee refi to lower our monthly payments since my credit score had improved significantly. The second refi was just as easy and took less time, and I didn’t have to do anything for it other than review the terms, agree and sign:)Extremely professional with deep knowledge of his field and ability to think through specific situations quickly - I will absolutely use Jim's services again and will recommend him to anyone who will listen! Thank you so very much for your help, Jim.

Jim Apessos was excellent.He kept me informed on the process and was patient with me and my demanding work schedule. Including he was able to keep our phone calls short due to difficult my work schedule is. Jim is very easy to work with and treats people as a real individual.I recommend Jim Apessos to anyone as a FTHB or ReFi.
