We are a mortgage broker meaning we can shop all of the major banks and mortgage companies to find the best interest rate.  But, as you know the interest rate is not the most important thing anymore.  Placing our clients in the best loan program is on top of all.  Since forclosure's are at an all time high, it is very important to us that our clients are well knowledged about the different mortgage loans out there and more importantly WHAT THEY DO to your financial situation every month.   With that being said here are the programs we provide and please call Grant for more information.

 Conventional loans, FHA loans, and VA loans.  30 year, 20 year, and 15 year loans.  Fixed rates and adjustable rates, 2/1 buydowns.  Home equity lines of credit and loans.  No cost refinance, cash out and rate and term refinance.  Purchases.  Primary homes, secondary homes, and investment property loans.  And now construction draw loans and abatement program contstruction loans!

Letter from client who closed on March 20th, 2007

Grant,

Just wanted to again, thank you guys for helping us through closing on our new house.  I can honestly say, this was one of the most stressful periods in our life and you guys were awesome.  Peope can't believe the rate/closing costs you secured for us (with no points!) so great job and the paperwork at closing was right on the penny.  I've already referred you to a couple people at work looking to refi.

Thanks again.
