Helping YOU Renovate SMART. Renovation. Mortgage. Expertise.
You have called, searched, poked and prodded for ACCURATE and INSIGHTFUL renovation mortgage advice. Whether it be FHA 203k, HomeStyle Renovation, HomePath Renovation or the Yeti of all renovation mortgages - JUMBO Renovation.
Many mortgage lenders where quick to let you know that they DID NOT provide renovation mortgages at all. Sorry.
Others politely listened to your questions, but couldn't answer them. Promising to find out and call you back with the guidance you needed.
The return call never came.
You might have almost discarded your hopes of finding someone, anyone, that could provide the advice and guidance you needed.
It was probably a little confusing too. The concept of buying and renovating in ONE loan, ONE closing all while keeping your assets in your preferred location - the BANK, INVESTMENT accounts, your 401k... WHY can't you find expert info on these mortgage products?
Simple. Renovation financing requires more time, effort and expertise then most mortgage companies have or care excercise.
But your in luck, you found us. My team has been focusing exclusively on renovation loans since 2007. We've closed them six ways to Sunday. We've seen all the ways the train can derail and know how to fix (or prevent) that accident.
If you are still not sure then just call us and ask all the questions you want. We can answer them because, unlike other lenders, we LOVE renovation loans and we want YOUR business.
Let us earn the opportunity to help YOU.
