Which loan program is right for you?
The answer to that question comes together when our experience meets your goals and unique financing needs. Take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the loans described below, read up on home loan FAQs, and then let us know when and where you wish to start the conversation. We will be there with the mortgage solutions you need.
We offer adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) loans with terms of 3, 5, 7 and 10 years. An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) provides the borrower with a lower initial payment, yet carries a degree of uncertainty. An adjustable-rate mortgage will temporarily lock into a rate at the time of closing. After the initial lock period ends, the rate will adjust for the remaining life of the loan, depending on market rates. Adjustable rate mortgages allow borrowers to take advantage of falling interest rates without refinancing, however they should always prepare for rates to increase as well. If you are considering a refinance or a move in the near future, an ARM loan may be a great option for you as the lower initial rates can offer a cheaper route for borrowers who don’t plan on staying in one place for long. Fixed-rate mortgages offer rate and payment security, but they can be more expensive over time. Personal preferences and unique situations will help to determine which type of loan is best for you.
Our construction financing program features a 12 month term to build the home, with 4 draws throughout the process. Upon maturity, the balance of the construction loan will need to be refinanced into a 15, 20 or 30 year fixed-rate mortgage.
The FHA loan is a great program for homebuyers that may not have exceptional credit, or are looking for a low down payment option with affordable terms. FHA features a down payment of just 3.5%, as well as flexible credit and qualification requirements.
A fixed-rate mortgage provides the borrower peace of mind knowing their monthly payment will be the same for the life of the loan. If you plan to stay in your home for many years and appreciate the convenience of a consistent mortgage payment regardless of the market, this could the perfect program for you!
We offer 10, 15 and 20 year fixed-rate loan products for a more accelerated payoff schedule, compared to the 30 year fixed rate.

A Jumbo loan allows you to purchase a home with a loan amount that would traditionally exceed the limits of conventional financing. Luxury homes and multi-unit properties are among those you could finance with a Jumbo loan. In addition to increased financing for the purchase of a high value home, a Jumbo loan refinance could lower your monthly payments, allow you more discretionary income, and restore the investment value of your home. The jumbo loan products available are capped at $3,000,000.
The Rural Development (RD) program is designed for homebuyers with low-to-moderate income and savings, who are looking to purchase a home in a designated rural area. RD is a true zero-down loan program, which allows the borrower additional funds to pay for closing costs or prepaids in the mortgage. In some cases the seller can pay up to 6% of the sales price to cover closing costs. The RD loan is not limited to first time homebuyers and can also be used to refinance an existing RD mortgage to a lower interest rate.
Conventional financing limits are capped at a loan amount of $417,000. A Super Conforming loan follows the same Federal rules and guidelines as a conventional loan product, with extended loan amount caps up to $625,500. This program extends the borrowing options for individuals purchasing or refinancing in a demographic area with higher housing costs than allowed with conventional loan financing. A variety of loan terms are available for purchase or refinance; 15 and 30 year fixed-rate loans as well as 5 and 7 year ARM's (Adjustable Rate Mortgages).
