  • A large two-story house with a wrap-around porch, shingle siding, a gabled roof, and white trim, surrounded by a well-maintained green lawn and some bushes.

    "Jim and his team were professional with communication during the entire process. Jim’s knowledge of the mortgage guidelines made for a smooth transaction. He was able to guide us to the best loan program based on our needs. Jim’s detailed emails made the process as stress free as buying a home can be! I can still hear Jim telling me "do not worry, that is my job." Thank you to Jim & his team, now we have our forever home. We feel blessed to be placed in Jim's path."

    Brenda & Jesse

  • Open modern living and dining area with a glass round table, blue upholstered chairs, and a large beige sectional sofa. The room features hardwood floors, a chandelier, built-in shelves, ceiling fan, large windows, and a glass door leading to a patio.

    “We've used Jim Yarrington and his team for years - for the purchase of our first home, to our refinance and now for the purchase of our new home. Jim consistently went above and beyond to make sure we were getting the right loan for our needs and was personally available at all times to walk us through every step. As everyone who as gone through the loan process before, knows, it can be extremely overwhelming. Jim and his team take the anxiety out of the process. We don't just consider Jim a loan officer, we consider him a trusted advisor. I can't imagine using anyone else!"

    “Jim is the most knowledgable person I know in the loan business. He is helpful and a great communicator. I trust him with all my lender-related questions, and I know he'll shoot me straight. His team is also efficient and closes their loans on time, often going above and beyond!”

    Krissa, REALTOR

  • Two-story suburban house with red brick and beige siding, surrounded by manicured bushes and lawn, under a partly cloudy sky.

    “I have yet to find a more dedicated, helpful, knowledgeable, and all around outstanding person to work with when securing financing. Jim truly listens to you as you explain your current situation and your needs. He patiently helps you navigate around any roadblocks that might arise in the process. Whenever I thought I had run out of options, Jim was always able to find a way to make what we needed happen. For all of these reasons, I recommend with the highest level of sincerity that you work with Jim Yarrington when securing a home mortgage."

    Bill

  • Laptop, coffee mug, notebook, pen, and smartphone on wooden desk.

    "I have worked through several transactions with Jim over the past few years. He has been one of the best mortgage brokers that I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with. He is extremely knowledgable in his trade and is very helpful if complications arise. Jim keeps everyone updated as to what is going on behind the scenes and is exceptionally personable. You will not be disappointed in his dedicated professionalism!"

  • Skyline of Kansas City, Missouri, with tall buildings and the Kauffman Center visible.

    "Jim Yarrington, knows the loan business. I was self employed and needed to pull money out of an investment property and I needed to set up a big line of credit on my personal residence. I had spoken to a few other lenders and they couldn't help me. I met with Jim and he was able to get both loans completed at very competitive rates. I recommend Jim for his expertise and willingness to help get a tough job done.
