I’ll be with you every step of the way

Hi, I’m Jim Clay, and I’m proud to bring you top-notch service with America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender! With 24 years of experience in both commercial and residential lending, and hundreds of millions of dollars in loan volume closed, I’ve built a large database of delighted clients thanks to my dedication and expertise.

Based in Louisville, KY, I’m licensed in Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. I joined CrossCountry Mortgage five years ago as part of Jeremy Forcier’s esteemed team, and it’s been a fantastic journey ever since. Growing up in Danville, KY, I was honored to win a state wrestling title in 1987 and later earned a place in the Danville High School Athletic Hall of Fame with my brother John in 2018. My wrestling career continued at Illinois before finishing at the University of Kentucky.

Whether you’re looking for expert guidance on your next mortgage or refinancing, I’m here to help you every step of the way with a personal touch and a commitment to excellence.
