He was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area\, but at the age of 18\, he made the decision to defend his country and leave home. \nDuring his time in the Marine Corps\, he traveled across the world visiting countries such as Japan\, Korea\, Thailand\, Australia\, and Singapore. \nJimmy met his wife\, Sylvia\, while stationed in Kaneohe Bay\, Hawaii\, and they decided to relocate to Arizona in 2005. He moved to Phoenix with goals and aspirations of beginning a new career in the mortgage industry. \nAs he pursued his new career\, he quickly realized there was a major deficiency and lack of home loan services for veterans. There were no mortgage professionals who specialized in working alongside servicemen and women after they returned from the military: nobody who spoke their language or understood their needs. \nWithout hesitation\, he devoted himself to veteran homebuyers and their families in the Phoenix area. His mission was to serve all veterans and active-duty military as a trusted advisor for all their VA Home Loan financing needs. He has always had great love\, respect\, and admiration for veterans who have served the United States\, and he wanted to give back. \nNow\, Jimmy has risen as one of the country’s top VA Home Loan mortgage originators. Being a licensed and certified instructor with the Arizona Department of Real Estate\, he proudly teaches continuing education for real estate professionals in the Valley. It is his passion to partner with servicemen and women every day to help them find the home of their dreams in the country they call home. \nHe now lives in beautiful Phoenix\, Arizona\, and enjoys spending time with his wife\, Sylvia\, his daughter\, Sylvia Ann\, and his son\, Christian. \nListen to this Center for REALTOR® Development Podcast Episode featuring Jimmy: VA Loans\, Helping Veterans\, and Improving Business URL:https://www.ncrealtors.org/event/052126-mrp/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:CE Courses,Designations & Certifications ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.ncrealtors.org/wp-content/uploads/2026_MRP_Jimmy-Vercellino_FeatureImage.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260527T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260527T170000 DTSTAMP:20260417T101545 CREATED:20260416T182724Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260416T182921Z UID:10000364-1779885000-1779901200@www.ncrealtors.org SUMMARY:In-person | Serving with Integrity: An Ethics and Fair Housing Course DESCRIPTION:How does attending one class that fulfills your 4-hour CE Elective AND BOTH NAR Ethics and Fair Housing sound?! \nWe are so excited to offer just that for you! “Serving with Integrity: An Ethics and Fair Housing Course” is an engaging 4-hour CE elective course which also satisfies your NAR Ethics AND Fair Housing Requirement! This is a brand new course and Cape Fear REALTORS®\, in partnership with NC REALTORS®\, is one of the first associations to bring it to you! \nThis course will provide an overview of the framework of the REALTORS®’ Code of Ethics\, beginning with the aspirational concepts of the Preamble\, then moving to the current Articles and Standards of Practice\, and finishing with methods of enforcement.
