Bio
In 2004 in Petoskey Michigan, I began my career in Real Estate. Helping people navigate one of the biggest transactions of their life wasn’t just work, it quickly became a personal point of pride. After relocating to Brighton Michigan along with my wife and our 2 children, I began to realize a gap in the market on the financial end of the Real Estate world. Deciding to make the transition from Realtor to my current career as a Mortgage Broker has been the best decision of my life. Being a Mortgage Broker, allows me to interact with far more people throughout the day allowing me to help many more people and families realize their dream of owning a home. Whether your refinancing or buying a home for the short term or the dream home you’ll have forever, you deserve a Broker that cares about you as a person and not just a number. My goal every time is to do such a good job for my clients that they trust me to take care of the people dearest to them, their friends and family.

James excels in his field, and I had the pleasure of collaborating with him on a recent home purchase. His commitment to being attentive at every stage of the process, excellent communication skills, and remarkable follow-up greatly contributed to easing the nerves of our clients. The transaction was challenging due to the type of property involved, but James’s hands-on approach and willingness to go above and beyond ensure a high-level customer experience. I highly recommend him for his outstanding professionalism.

James, Collin and I cannot thank you enough for what you’ve helped us achieve. We have recommended you to multiple other active home buyers. You’re efficient, responsive, and supportive. You keep the customer in mind whilst doing everything in your power to allow the home buying process to be completed effortlessly. Being that we were first time home buyers, we are so appreciative that someone such as yourself was able to make it simple to understand. While working with you there were no “silly questions”. We absolutely loved taking in the valuable information that you provided us along the way. You turned what we thought to be an intimidating task, into something we thoroughly enjoyed. We thank you so much for turning our dreams into a reality. The support and guidance we received from you made this possible. For that we are forever grateful. We plan to be loyal and supportive customers.
When someone says “House?”. We say “James”.
Thank you once again.

James made it happen for us!
We were not quite ready to buy a house but a great opportunity came along and thanks to James and his team we were able to get a good loan product and effortlessly close into our first house. Not sure if buying a house can get any easier and transparent.
Thanks James!

I would like to take a moment to say “thank you” to James Knight and the team at Better Rate Mortgage. James was able to cut my interest rate by more than a point and it saved us $400 a month. Goodbye PMI. As a business owner, I truly appreciate how easy everyone made the process. From start to finish, done in two weeks. I’m more than happy to refer anyone to James Knight.
