Buying a Home

Whether you're looking for your first home, making a move to a new community, or on the hunt for a second home or vacation getaway, buying a house is a rewarding experience. We want to keep it that way. We offer various mortgage types to suit your needs and are here to answer any questions you have during your home-buying process.
 

Refinancing Your Home

Love your home, but not your loan? Refinancing your mortgage means you get a new home loan to replace your existing one. Whether you're looking to lower your interest rate to save money or wanting to take advantage of a cash-out refinance to tap into your home's equity, we're here for you.

Fixed-Rate Mortgage

With a fixed rate conventional mortgage, you'll have peace of mind knowing your monthly principal and interest payments will remain exactly the same, for the life of the loan. Fixed-rate loans are available in 10-, 15-, 20-, and 30-year terms and make budgeting easy.

Adjustable Rate Mortgage

An Adjustable Rate Mortgage, sometimes referred to as an ARM, has a lower rate and lower monthly payments for the first 5 or 7 years, depending on the term you choose. After an initial period, your rate and payment may change, based on interest rates at the time.

Veteran (VA) Mortgage

If you’re an active military member, veteran, or surviving spouse, a Veterans Affairs (VA) mortgage makes home-buying easier. All VA loans are guaranteed by the federal government and offer borrowers no down payment and no mortgage insurance.

Apply Online

First-Time FHA Mortgage

Are you a first-time homebuyer or worried you don't have enough money for closing costs or a down payment? With a Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loan, your down payment could be as little as 3.5%, and you can apply with less-than-perfect credit history.
