How to Get a Mortgage

Easy Application Process

Apply online anytime, anywhere. A dedicated expert will walk you through the approval process and work with you to determine what type of mortgage best meets your needs.

Real estate is moving fast. A pre-approval letter boosts your offer in our competitive market. We can help get you the documentation you need to move quickly on the right house.

Mortgage Loan Options

Your family is unique. We find the loan that best meets your goals and future plans.

  • Fixed-Rate Mortgage

    Your principal and interest payments remain constant for the life of the loan. Choose a fixed-rate loan if you prefer the certainty of a fixed payment.

  • Adjustable-Rate Mortgage

    Choose an adjustable-rate mortgage if you prefer a lower initial monthly payment. With this loan, your interest rate is locked in for a set period. After that time, your rate may fluctuate.

  • FHA and VA Home Loans

    Not all loans require a large downpayment. Some buyers qualify for loans through the Federal Housing Administration or Veterans Affairs that require less cash upfront.

  • Construction-Permanent Loan

    Building a home? Streamline your financing with one loan that covers your lot, construction costs and mortgage. This loan automatically converts from a construction loan to mortgage.
