About James Young

My name is James Young, and I am proud to work with the community on behalf of New American Funding. As a highly-skilled Branch Manager, NMLS #396523, my goal is to provide the best customer service possible along with knowledgeable, unbiased advice.

 

With over 20 years of experience in the mortgage industry, I’ve had the privilege of helping countless individuals and families achieve their dream of homeownership. For me, this business isn’t just about loans and paperwork ; it’s about people, relationships, and creating a clear path forward during one of life’s most important milestones.

I believe the mortgage process should feel less overwhelming and more empowering. That’s why I take the time to listen, explain options in plain language, and guide you step by step so you feel confident in every decision. Whether you’re buying your first home, upgrading to your dream home, or refinancing to make the most of your investment, my goal is to save you time, money, and stress while providing unmatched personal service.

Over two decades, I’ve built lasting partnerships with realtors, builders, and clients who return again and again—because they know they can count on me for honesty, clarity, and results. At the end of the day, my greatest satisfaction comes from seeing families settle into the homes they’ve worked so hard for, knowing I played a trusted role in making it happen.

"James and the staff at NAF were excellent. I'm sure most people don't say the best/easiest part of purchasing a home is the mortgage process but I can honestly say that. James kept all the interested parties (i.e. realtor, lawyer) updated, gave me weekly updates even when nothing changed, walked me through how numbers when I wasn't quite sure what all the options were and made this a great experience. Everything went smoothly and there were 0 surprises. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend James and his team to anyone looking for a mortgage."
