The truth is, getting a mortgage loan1 is a complex process. Don’t let anyone tell you it’s not. The terms can be confusing, and yes, you have to provide and review a lot of information. But we’re here — like, right here — to help make getting a mortgage easy and manageable for you.
Why? Because we’re not only local, we’re vested in your best interest. We want you to have that dream home. So, we’ll answer your questions, guide you through the process, help you make the best choices and be available when you need us. Big lenders just can’t do that like we can.
Like we said, we’re a not-for-profit credit union, which means our first priority is you, not our own profits. In fact, we’re here to save you money and make your life easier. Here, you come first. And when it comes to getting a mortgage, that’s really, really important.

What type of mortgage do I need?
Here’s another reason to get a mortgage with Family Trust: We’ll make sure you get the right loan for your home purchase and your budget. And that matters.
You see, there are a lot of different kinds of mortgages. And getting the wrong loan is not a small deal. In fact, it can end up costing buyers a lot of money in some cases.
But at Family Trust, again, we’re here to make your life richer, not boost our bottom line. Our goal is to make you a homeowner who can afford your monthly payments and enjoy the long-term benefits of home ownership. In other words, we’re not trying to make a buck. We’re helping you buy a home.
