I was born in Ft. Knox, KY. Moved to Columbus, GA in 1967 and have lived here pretty much ever since. I served in the United States Army for 4 years and earned the Army Achievement Medal (2) and the Army Commendation Medal. I have a BBA in Finance from Columbus State University. I am a Federally and State licensed Mortgage Loan Originator in Georgia, Alabama and Florida.. My product offerings include; Conventional, VA, FHA, USDA and Reverse Mortgage loans.
With over 20 years of experience in the mortgage industry one of my most important duties is to educate you on the various mortgage loan programs you qualify for. This will allow you to make an “informed” decision as to the best loan for you. To give you full disclosure on the loan of your choice. No games, gimmicks or hidden fees!

From the day I called James to closing I was pleasantly surprised at how professional and knowledgeable he is in comparison to other lenders. I never had a question that he couldn’t answer, and the process went very well. I am self employed and he made sure that I had everything I needed. Overall 10/10 would definitely recommend to anyone. Great guy and great service!

Well I'm not sure where to start. James has went above and beyond my expectations of a loan officer. He has actually been like part of the family.
He stays in contact and keeps you informed and does everything he can to get you a loan. I was not really sure that I would be able to get a loan to begin with. But James found some programs that helped me get my credit score higher and was just very knowledgeable on what I needed to do to be able to get me a loan. I am so very satisfied that I went with open mortgage for my loan. I will be telling everyone that I know that needs to get a mortgage loan to go with open mortgage you will not be disappointed. JAMES SHYTLE IS THE BEST !!!!

James was very professional and knowledgeable. He took time to make sure all everything was right the first time so we didn’t have to do double work. I would definitely recommend James to anyone that is in need of a mortgage loan. Thanks James for all your hard work and dedication.
Had a deep understanding of minor details that can make or break a good deal. Our paper work needed one of everything and James still managed to turn it into a win for us.

I have recommended James and Dagmar to many of my Buyer clients and recently I used them for a personal purchase. I trust them. They will go above and beyond and they will be honest and up front with you. This is so important when you are making financial decisions and time is of the essence. They will continue to be strongly recommended by me
