Real Estate professionals and consumers alike have unique needs and objectives when entering into the mortgage process. With experience based not just on years, but on decades in the mortgage field, I understand those individual needs. As a family man I believe home ownership is the fulfillment of the American dream and I get extraordinary pleasure in assisting people in obtaining that goal. As a Lee County resident since 1974, I have watched thousands of happy people take possession of a set of keys that open the door to a new world. It's a wonderful feeling.

Jami DiMaria                         239-277-9244  
Loan Officer                            239-281-9675

Originally from New York, I moved to SW Florida over 6 years ago. Shortly after moving to Florida I purchased my first home and there was something about the process of shopping for a home and acquiring a mortgage that appealed to me.  Pursuing a career as a mortgage broker has proven to be one of the most rewarding decisions I have ever made. I am truly passionate about this profession, and the result is that nearly 100% of my business is by referral from satisfied clients, trusted financial advisors and the most experienced realtors in the area. My mission is to carefully guide my clients through the entire home loan process, so that they feel confident making choices about the many options available while keeping their overall financing strategy in mind.  "Your Mortgage Consultant for Life"

Originally from the Pittsburgh, PA area, my wife Heather and I have had the pleasure of living in Southwest Florida for four years now, having added a daughter in the meantime. In addition to being a Licensed Mortgage Broker, I am also an adjunct Instructor of history at Edison College.

Much as I enjoy educating members of the community at Edison College, I also strive to educate new home buyers and other clients unfamiliar with the mortgage process to provide them with a level of comfort they may not otherwise posses. A mortgage loan is a product, and as with any other product you may buy, I believe that the most important thing you can do is to educate yourself so that you can make an informed decision. Please consider me your greatest resource in achieving that education.

If you are a seasoned real estate professional, I will ensure to the best of my ability that the mortgage process goes as smoothly as possible, keeping yourself and your clients happy every step of the way.

 

 

Cathryn Blair-Bennett                   239-277-9244  x 217
Loan Officer                                    cblairbennett@firstcaplend.com 

Growing up in Carmel Indiana in the 1970’s taught me “small town” community values early in life.  I believe that being part of the Florida mortgage industry for several years, it is crucial now more than ever to carry on those important values of integrity, excellence and loyalty to every client I work with. 

I am a licensed Mortgage Broker as well as a Licensed Realtor.  The benefit of this is,  I have a thorough understanding of both sides of the transaction. I have been a member of the Florida Association of Mortgage Brokers and the National Association of Mortgage Brokers for the last six years. Being a member of these associations means that I must adhere to a higher standard of a code of ethics in the mortgage industry. 

It is my goal to offer not just superior service to my clients, but also to have a lasting relationship long after your home is purchased.  I have a passion for what I do and whether you are first time homebuyer, vacation home owner, a Real Estate professional, an investor, or just refinancing, I will always be working in your best interest.

Like so many that relocate to Florida the move is often accompanied by a career change. In my case I arrived here from my native England via Canada, Atlanta and finally Cape Coral/Fort Myers.

After 20 + years selling Technology Services, Hardware and Software to large Corporations such as Ford, GM, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Coca-Cola and Bank of America I have had the distinct pleasure for the last number of years in making affordable homeownership, whether through Purchase or Re-Finance a reality.

Although it may be a cliché but throughout my working life I have tried to adhere to the principle of doing the right thing for the customer. The payback has often been longer-term friendships being formed and becoming a trusted advisor to them. In recent years I have become adept in handling a wide variety of financing needs including FHA/VA, Foreign National and Construction. I look forward to applying my knowledge and lending skills on your behalf and maybe becoming your “friend in the mortgage business” too.
