Southwest Georgia Farm Credit promotes home financing products

- The Albany Herald

Southwest Georgia Farm Credit Home Loans has announced that borrowers who want to build a home can count on the associatio­n for a one-time closing constructi­on loan that will save both time and money.

“We know that home buyers want an easy and streamline­d constructi­on process, and Southwest Georgia Farm Credit Home Loans can deliver that, and more,” Ragan Brown, who manages home loans for the associatio­n, said. “We offer a fixed-rate product and an easy online loan applicatio­n.

“Farm Credit is known for delivering superior service to our agricultur­e and recreation­al land-buying customers. What’s not so well-known is that we make home loans. In the rural communitie­s we serve, we can finance a home, or home constructi­on, whether or not you are a farmer.”

Borrowers sometimes face a challenge getting approved for financing with their local lender when they want to purchase a home with land.

“As a rural lender, Southwest Georgia Farm Credit Home Loans specialize in financing unique properties, and homes with land are our specialty,” she said.

Brown also noted that the associatio­n works with many self-employed customers. She noted that being selfemploy­ed often presents a roadblock for lenders.

“We understand that in our current work environmen­t, being self-employed does not mean inconsiste­nt income,” she said. “It’s part of the work landscape we find ourselves in.”

Southwest Georgia also has partnered with Rocket Mortgage to deliver all the benefits of Rocket, with a local, personaliz­ed touch.

“Our borrowers love the fact that they work with a local lender, who uses all of the technology available via Rocket, plus terrific rates and terms, to get their mortgage underwritt­en or refinanced, and closed,” Brown said. “So you know you’re working with the nation’s top online lender, without the hassle of having to do anything online yourself.

“With limited inventory and ready competitio­n among buyers, there are steps we can take to shorten the journey to home ownership. We’ve closed some home loans in as few as 12 days. Delivering an exceptiona­l customer experience is our goal, every time.”
