Jim's Story
Jim Black founded Revest Homes, Inc. with a simple philosophy: know before you owe. After more than two decades in the mortgage and real estate industry, he's seen what happens when families make major financial decisions without fully understanding their options. He's made it his mission to change that.
Jim has built deep roots in communities across the country. He's not just a lender. He's a strategist and a trusted advisor to thousands of families who've navigated complex real estate decisions with his guidance.
Jim specializes in creative financing solutions, particularly bridge loans, which allow homeowners to buy their next property before selling their current one. This expertise has helped countless clients avoid the stress of temporary housing, rushed decisions, and leaving money on the table.
He's licensed in California, Oregon, Florida, and Texas, and leads a team that includes Chaz Sampson (VP of Operations, 15+ years in the loan industry) and Shaye Carter (real estate agent and loan officer), giving clients a full-service experience from initial consultation through closing.

Jim's Philosophy
The principles that guide every client conversation and every loan decision.
Know Before You Owe
Jim's core belief: every client deserves to fully understand their options, the numbers, and the risks before signing anything. No surprises. No pressure.
Straight Talk, Always
If a bridge loan isn't right for you, Jim will tell you. If you're better off selling first, he'll say so. Honesty builds long-term relationships and referrals.
Market Expertise Matters
Every market is different. Jim's 23 years of experience means he understands the nuances, the strategies, and the financing structures that actually work regardless of where you're buying.
