LMCU - James Thelen

I am an experienced loan officer and bring a wide range of knowledge that will help you make the most educated decision about your home financing. I graduated from Calvin College and went on to gain experience in both the broker world as well as in banking. Because of this, I am able to show you why financing with LMCU is easier and less expensive than the competition. Along with extensive knowledge of the industry, I am fluent in Spanish and work closely with LMCU's Spanish-speaking clientele. I look forward to helping you with any financing questions or needs you may have.

Whether you're buying your first home, refinancing your current home, or building your forever home, I'm here to help. I'll review your budget, income, and savings to determine what mortgage product and terms work best for you. Interest rates are only a part of the equation. I offer educational resources and information to help you consider all of your home-buying options. I graduated with my Bachelor degree in Business Management from Davenport University, and I've been in the financial industry for almost 25 years. I speak two languages — English and Vietnamese — but more importantly, I don't speak jargon. I break down the homebuying process in easy to understand terms so you feel comfortable and informed.

Building, buying or refinancing your home is a major financial and emotional event. You deserve peace of mind knowing you will be treated in a professional manner, and that you will end up with the kind of deal that you will rave about to your family, friends and co-workers. Lake Michigan Credit Union has the products and pricing to deliver a satisfying experience. Also, with 16 years of mortgage experience, I have the skill set to get the job done.
