• Fixed-Rate Loans. Loans with fixed interest rates allowing homeowners to make predictable monthly payments over the life of the loan (Available in 15-year and 30-year options).
• FHA Home Loans. Government-insured loans that offer affordable interest rates and require a lower minimum credit score.

Refinance loan types include:

Perfect for: Homeowners who want to make cosmetic changes to their home or need to make necessary home repairs.

New Construction Loans

Benefits: Interest rates are locked throughout the life of your loan, protecting you against rate increases, and you may be eligible for closing cost credits that could reduce or eliminate refinancing costs.

Extended Lock Options

Benefits: Extra flexibility, peace of mind because of guaranteed rates, even in the event that market rates rise, and the option to make adjustments if rates drop below your extended lock rate before closing.
