James W. Gordon Jr. — Owner & President Mortgage League of America
With nearly five decades of experience in real estate and mortgage lending, James W. Gordon Jr. has become one of Southern California’s most trusted names in home finance. As Owner and President of Mortgage League of America, he leads with a simple mission — to combine integrity, expertise, and genuine care in helping every client achieve their goals.
A proud father of five and lifelong youth coach, James brings mentorship, teamwork, and patience into every interaction. His leadership has earned industry-wide recognition, including back-to-back wins in the Orange County Register’s Best of Orange County (2022 & 2023) and The Press-Enterprise’s Best of Inland Empire (2023 & 2024) readers’ choice awards. These honors reflect not only his longevity in the business but the trust and appreciation of thousands of families he’s served across Orange County, the Inland Empire, and Los Angeles.
Through decades of market changes, James has remained focused on people — providing clarity in complex lending, with a special expertise in reverse mortgages for older homeowners seeking stability and freedom in retirement. His approach is hands-on, transparent, and always personal — because for James, mortgage lending isn’t just business, it’s a lifelong commitment to helping others find home.
