That lender is right here – in Connecticut.
Benefits of a Community Bank Mortgage
Community banks in Connecticut like First County Bank offer some pretty great benefits, including:
Competitive Rates
Think all banks are alike? They’re not. As an independent, mutual community bank, First County Bank doesn’t have shareholders, which frees us to put the needs of our customers first and offer great rates.
Personal Guidance
The process of buying a home can be a daunting one, particularly if you’ve never gone through it. It’s nice to work with a lender that will offer personal guidance to help you understand your options and choose the ones that meet your goals and budget.
Local Decision-Making and Servicing
When you find the right home or mortgage, it’s important to close on time. A community bank lender will render loan decisions locally, making the process more streamlined. Plus, community banks often maintain the servicing of mortgages after closing. So, if you have a question or need help, you can talk to people you know.
Convenient Applications
Some people want the convenience of applying for a loan online, while others prefer in-person assistance. A community bank like First County Bank will serve you where you want, the way you want.
Market Knowledge
Today, you can find any number of lenders around the country, but there’s a real benefit to working with one that has knowledge of your market and community and can connect you to other trusted professionals who can help you.
