Hi, I'm Jim. I’ve consistently been recognized as one of the top mortgage originators in the nation, with awards and accolades including:

  • Top Producer, Dollar Volume (1992-2009, 2016, 2018)
  • Top 1% Mortgage Originators in America (2017-2022)

Active in my community, I volunteer at the Lazarus House and coach youth sports. A graduate of Bentley University with a bachelor’s in finance, I’ve closed over $3 billion in loans over 36 years, helping thousands achieve their dream of homeownership. I’m an expert in loans like Conforming, Jumbo, VA, and FHA. Whatever your situation, I’m on call seven days a week for my partners and clients. When it comes to homebuying and refinancing, I’m ready to be your loan officer for life!

What Our Clients Say

This was the 2nd home purchased with Jim K and the GR team. Both were VA loans. From the beginning, they were expedient, professional, and knowledgeable. All the process intricacies were explained. The online app used made it much easier with all of the documentation needed to send or receive. Saved a lot of time and confusion. Thank you Jim!!
Nigel S.

Sharon W.
We were given a short closing date by the seller and Jim and his staff made it happen. I am not surprised, Jim has been my mortgage expert and also my friend for more than 25 years! His knowledge and foresight of the mortgage industry is second to none. Whether you are buying your first home, your fifth, or simply refinancing, if you haven't talked to Jim Kochakian you are missing out. His guidance and patience will help you through the dreaded mortgage experience! I can't thank him enough for all he has done for me throughout the years!

Steven R.
I have worked with Jim Kochakian for many mortgages, primary and refinancing included. I know Jim to deliver the highest customer service and to help obtain the best rate. His operations team is very proactive and helpful and is very much aligned with his customer service approach and attitude.
David C.
Absolutely excellent from start to finish with Jim and his team. Thank you so much for the best experience I've ever had with a refinance!
Justin P.
Jim worked with me to guide me through the mortgage buying process. He patiently worked with me when I was negotiating with other lenders on interest rates. He is always available to answer any questions and kept us informed of the mortgage timelines to close on a property. He kept checking in with me even when I was passively home hunting. I would highly recommend him just for the simple fact that he provides top notch service.
Ganesh S.
Jim has always been up front and honest with us. He gets right back to us with any questions we have and always keeps us informed during the process.
Matthew M.
Jim was outstanding as always, he is my go-to guy for any financial needs.
