We make all lending decisions locally. This means faster approvals, more flexible terms, and personalized service from people who understand your community’s unique property market.

Most customers can borrow up to 80% of their home’s value minus any existing mortgage balance. For example, if your home is worth $500,000 and you owe $200,000, you might qualify for up to $200,000.

A home equity loan provides a one-time lump sum with fixed payments, while a HELOC offers revolving credit with flexible access during a 10-year draw period. We’ll help determine which suits your needs.

As a local lender, we typically provide initial decisions within 5 business days. Most applications close within 3-4 weeks of approval, with expedited options available for urgent needs.
