Where do I start? When we first contacted James regarding equity financing, our first impression was impressed. I personally have had many years in the Mortgage Banking industry and was aware of most of the processes. James was amazing as there was a hurdle to jump and as we were concerned of the timing of things, James was calm throughout the process, very compassionate keeping us focused on the end results. James is extremely knowledgeable, a consummate professional. He exceeded our wildest expectations in every way, shape and form. I would recommend James for any financial situations.

It was a true pleasure working with James Hecker. His communication was consistent and proactive throughout the entire transaction, keeping everyone informed and on track. From start to finish, the process was smooth, efficient, and stress-free for our client—and we closed right on time. James is the kind of lender every agent hopes to work with. I highly recommend him and look forward to working together again.

James was incredibly helpful and beyond knowledgeable. He worked all the avenues because our buy was a weird one. He was knowledgeable about VA, USAD, and all types of traditional loans. He was clear about what we could get approved for, which was much higher than we wanted to go, and talked us through whether or not we would actually be comfortable number. If you need someone who knows all the things and is a human so will treat you as such James Hecker is your man! We will definitely be using him for our next buy!!

Working with James V. Hecker was an absolute game-changer in securing our dream property. His expertise with timelines is truly remarkable; he navigated our loan process with exceptional due diligence from start to finish. We faced a particularly challenging situation with a lengthy escrow due to the remote location of our property, making inspections difficult to schedule. James, however, took immediate initiative and got things moving. Honestly, without his drive and foresight, we would not have met the several crucial deadlines. James is the definition of professionalism, but he also brings a genuine understanding of the human condition to his work. He made communication effortless, utilizing telephone, text, email, and secure links to keep things as streamlined as possible. He promptly provided clear numerical breakdowns for all our options and consistently prioritized our best interests. As veterans, my wife and I appreciated his thorough exploration of all available avenues, which resulted in us securing a great rate. I wholeheartedly recommend James V. Hecker to anyone seeking a dedicated and highly competent mortgage advisor.

James Hecker is the literal best of the best. I have never been so impressed by the amount of knowledge and professionalism that has been bestowed upon me concerning real estate. James has a production rate that is difficult to comprehend. This man can run the numbers for every single option available to you so efficiently that it is mind blowing. He is more than just numbers though, as he will always put your best interest first. I felt like I had a force of nature behind me when trying to buy a secondary home. He worked through every option available for my wife, myself and the property itself to find the best deal. I almost felt guilty using James for my small property purchase, because the amount of work he did for me was almost a waste of his time. This man has the knowledge, experience and dedication to handle any kind of deal. I honestly felt like meeting James was a blessing in my life as I do not know if I could purchased my retirement property with anyone else as my financial situation was not exuberant. He works well with veterans and has an immense respect for them. I couldn't recommend another Mortgage Advisor.

James and I worked on my first home loan in 2013. I had tried to use another mortgage advisor through my credit union, but the lack of any kind of assistance made me look elsewhere and my real estate agent connected me with James. And I’ve never looked back. James was phenomenal then and he was phenomenal now while working on my next home loan. In the interim he handled my re-finance of my first home. James is so helpful, knowledgeable, genuinely friendly, and professional. He truly cares about you and your goals. After working with him on my first home loan I knew I never wanted to work with anyone else. For my second home we had a 25-day escrow and James worked hard to close on time, which we did. He worked with my real estate consultant, with escrow, with my insurance agent as well as with me to make it happen. He secured for me a competitive rate. He kept me updated throughout the process and answered any questions I had. I recommend James to everyone. He is remarkable.

We had the pleasure of choosing and working with James Hecker as our Certified Mortgage Planning Specialist to guide us through our home re-finance. Since we haven’t done a re-finance for at least 10 years, we were a bit new to the process again. James walked us through the Title and Escrow process, started with the best rate, and worked with us identifying the informational requirements needed as we went through the underwriting process. During that time, the interest rate actually went down, and James was there to help us re-secure even a better rate as we went through the funding process. Once we funded, James was still there guiding us through the close and the County recording process. We are very happy we chose James to help us through our re-finance. He is absolutely thorough, an expert in his field, and his communication and follow-through are second to none. We highly recommend James Hecker!

This is the second time I have worked with James in obtaining a real estate loan. He contacted me when he saw that he could reduce my interest rate and save me a lot of money in interest over the term of the loan. He is the consummate professional, who is helpful every step of the way! He makes the overwhelming process extremely easy and made allowances for my lack of available time to work on the paperwork. He even responded into the evening and on weekends if necessary. Any questions I had were answered immediately and his knowledge and guidance were extremely helpful. His explanations and good cheer throughout were invaluable and at the end, we were approved easily. I wouldn't want to go through this process with anyone else representing and assisting me!!

I am writing this review for James Hecker. While circumstances did not allow us to utilize James, I can not say enough about his professionalism. He gave us valuable information even though we were not his clients. Our realtor referred us to James, but when we decided on a different home that offered incentives if we used their mortgage broker, James still answered our questions. In all of our interactions, he was honest, professional, informative, thorough, responsive, and personable. While we never got to the point where we talked about his rate, I am certain that James is a man of integrity, and that his clients would find him fair and his services a good value. We were not “signed” clients, and I feel the information he gave us was definitely of great value. James provides other financial services, too. I strongly recommend him.

James made my refi so easy! We were able to fund in just 4 weeks! He explained every step along the way! Wish he was licensed in Nevada, as my son is looking to buy his first home!

When it comes to loans and making choices about money I have 100% confidence in James. He has been assisting me with my home loans for years. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else or having greater faith in someone with my financial needs. He is always there to explain everything in plain English. He walks every step through with you and never misses a beat. When anyone needs assistance with a home loan, James is my first and only thought for who to call.

My family and I have known James for years and we know what a trusted professional he is. When it came time to refinance, there was no one else we would trust this transaction with so we gave James a call. He was all over the details, he kept us up to date on all key milestones and held our hand during the times when we needed hand holding. He exceeeded our wildest expectations in every way, shape and form and the final rate was lower than anything else we had seen in the marketplace. James earned a deserves a perfect 10 rating!

James Hecker rocks!! He makes a refi so easy it would be silly to go to anyone else. I had James help me twice and the reason I went back to him the second time was because of how pain free the 1st experience working with him was. Both times once I provided him the information he requested it was smooth sailing from beginning to signing the loan docs. I sat back while he made it all happen and somehow through it all made me feel like I was his only client. Give him a chance. You will be glad you did!

My wife and I recently obtained 2 loans that were processed by James Hecker. We had started with a refinance on our current home when we found and decided to invest in another property. James' advise and guidance throughout this process was beyond our expectations. We don't think we would have been able to complete this 2nd transaction if not for the thorough and diligent work that James performed throughout both of these transactions. Timing was of essence. James was very thorough and took the time to fully explain everything that we did not understand. He kept us informed and aware of all details throughout the loan process and kept us up to date every step of the way. We never had any issues getting in touch with James as he always responded either by text or phone call. James went over and beyond when it came to reworking our 1st refinance in order for us to be able to complete the second home purchase. James also directly corresponded with our purchasing agent and the selling agent of the second property so that there was no miscommunication regarding our financial status, qualifications and availability of funds. James remains available to us even after our loans have funded. We recommend James Hecker and will without a doubt do business with him in the future. James looks out for your best interest. Thank you James.

I can't say enough good things about my experience with James Hecker. This is the second time I have used his services for a home refinance. He is very detail orientated, upfront and over delivers with his projected outline of the work being done. I highly recommend using him. I have referred him many times already. I will be using h im a third time later this year for another home loan transaction.

First of all, James Hecker came high recommended by my broker friend who had sold me this house I wanted to refinance. The broker told me that James stayed on top of things, kept clients up-to-date, and came up with very good deals. I totally agree with my friend. James spoke well, was patient, answered all my questions, clarified things, for me, and made necessary steps very easy for me to follow. Yes, he did come up with a very good deal and even recommended something which I had not thought about. Thanks to this recommendation, my refi solved all my financial problems. I highly recommend James to anyone interested in buying or refinancing a house.

James was wonderful to work with..He took the time to thoroughly explain the refinancing process and all of my options. He was always available to answer all of my questions . James was also incredibly patient with my lack of technology skills and walked me through the steps I needed to take. He helped make a process that could have been stressful to be a pleasant one. In the end he helped me to significantly reduce my monthly mortgage payment. I can’t thank him enough

My experience with Mr. James Hecker of Focus Lending Group was not bad, but could have been better. Though I found Mr. Hecker to be very personable and extremely knowledgeable about the mortgage business, one piece of advice he gave me during the application process resulted in a significant impact to my credit score. That notwithstanding, I did find Mr. Hecker to be a very hard worker and someone whom I would recommend to others.
