Let’s find the right home loan for you

We have loan options to fit every situation, from down payment assistance programs for first-time homebuyers to government-sponsored programs for military families and rural residents or jumbo loans in high-cost markets.

Manufactured homes

Manufactured homes

Manufactured or CrossMod homes feel just like traditional, site-built homes. Fannie Mae’s MH Advantage® or Freddie Mac’s CHOICEHome programs create more flexible, affordable and innovative home options if you’re interested in purchasing a custom manufactured home with the look and feel of a traditional home. These can include many of the same amenities like garages, car ports, porches, decks and more.
Reverse mortgage loan

Reverse mortgage loan

If you’re retired or at least 62 years old and looking to purchase or refinance to make the most of your home investment, this may be a good option for you. A reverse mortgage allows you to use the equity in your home to supplement your retirement income.

VA

VA

If you’re an active member of the military or a veteran, a VA loan can help you save money with no down payment and lower closing costs. VA loans also have lower interest rates, meaning you’ll save money over the life of your loan. A VA loan is a program created and guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) specifically for eligible military veterans, service members and their spouses.

All loans are subject to underwriter approval; terms and conditions may apply. Subject to change without notice.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Darrel Long while representing the seller in a real estate transaction, and I must say—communication was top-notch from start to finish. Even though they were working with the buyer, Darrel kept me consistently informed every step of the way. Their responsiveness, professionalism, and transparency made the process smooth and stress-free for all parties involved. It’s always a win when everyone on the transaction is working in sync, and Darrel truly helped make that happen. I would absolutely welcome the opportunity to work with them again!
