Lake Michigan Credit Union - CX - James Thelen

As a loan originator with over 23 years of experience, I’m more than familiar with what it takes to close a mortgage quickly and efficiently. For the past 15 years I have been a loan originator here at Lake Michigan Credit Union. For several of those years, I’ve been serving LMCU’s Byron Center branch and the surrounding area. Though Byron Center is my home base, I bring LMCU’s competitive mortgage rates and superior lending products to homeowners all over the state of Michigan. Trust is important when choosing a loan originator. I will walk you through the process and update you throughout. You are in good hands while I am working on your mortgage.

Established in 1933, Lake Michigan Credit Union (LMCU) is the largest member-owned credit union in Michigan and one of the largest in the country, with branches in Michigan and Florida. We are dedicated to making an impact on the communities we serve and empowering individuals, families, and businesses to achieve their financial goals. LMCU provides a full range of financial services, including high-interest checking and savings accounts, personal and business loans, mortgages, business banking solutions, and insurance.

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 â€" English and Vietnamese â€" 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.
