If you want an experienced deal maker in the mortgage business talk to Rich. His professionalism is unquestionable. I like the updates he gives me at every turn which made me very comfortable. He made the whole process of buying our property very smooth from the day our offer was accepted till closing. If you want a Professional, very approachable, friendly and someone who can deliver on your mortgage needs, I will highly recommend Richard of JBG to you.

Me and my partner had the wonderful opportunity to work with Rich Jenkins and Teresa Murnane in our very first home purchase! We met with them in the beginning of July, and within less than 45 days they helped us find a home, & close successfully!!! We wanted to be settled as soon as possible and needed guidance every step of the way - and they made that possible! Rich and Teresa were committed, quick, very informative and knowledgable, answered questions right away, always accomodated our schedules and requests, and ensured that we were able to negotiate to get the best deal. I would highly recommend them to anyone, especially those who are looking for their very first home. You'll have the best team with you!!!

The entire Jim Black Group is a class act! Professional, astute, always helpful and knowledgeable. They did an excellent job helping us stage and market and sell our home. They grasped exactly what we were looking for in our new home, and were always available in this fast-paced market to go out and view homes. There was a frustrating glitch at the end of the process due to a third party that Jim spent an entire day putting right. I highly recommend JBG to anyone wanting the best possible experience in buying and/or selling their home.
