James (JJ) Benetti

Independent Loan Officer

About JJ

JJ is a veteran of the real estate industry with more than two decades of experience, and he leads LoanZilla's work in North Idaho, focusing on the Coeur d'Alene market.

Licensed in both real estate and mortgages, JJ has worked on everything from REOs to new construction. He arranges purchases and refinances across conventional, VA and FHA loans, as well as fix-and-flip, construction and HELOC financing. He is especially knowledgeable about investment properties, and his creative instincts suit the problem-solving side of mortgage brokering.

Working with JJ

As a LoanZilla loan officer, JJ compares loan programs and pricing from dozens of wholesale lenders on your behalf — not one bank's products — and handles your loan from the first conversation through closing. Purchase, refinance, cash-out, jumbo, FHA, VA and investment property loans are all part of what we arrange.
