Prior to opening AMI Lenders in 1990, Jim Emerson had a very successful career in banking. From his early days with Ford Motor Credit Company in the 60’s, he managed to move up the ranks and serve for 17 years as President /CEO of several Houston area banks. After a successful career in banking and identifying the need for specialty real estate financing, he opened AMI in 1990, and has grown it to become one of the largest private real estate lenders in the region.
(1980 - 2022) Our beloved Joe passed away. Joe’s work with a broad spectrum of clients helped AMI Lenders achieve and surpass many of our goals. He will be dearly missed.
Jeff Emerson has been a REALTOR since 1997 and graduated from the University of Houston. Jeff has been a RMLO (loan officer) with AMI Lenders since 2004 for Residential Hard Money Loans.
