Why Choose Us


2 story house with fenceProfessional Guidance

Everyone offers a wide range of loan products with a wide range of customization options. Without the right lender, or simply using an online system, you may be offered a loan based solely on numbers, versus our experienced lenders who will have a conversation with you and identify the true unique identifiers of your situation and help connect you with your best loan option.

We can show you a variety of great loan options with one application! Our application process is very smooth. We can offer you a pre-qualification letter, and you can submit everything through our BOW Mortgage app. You will also get notifications throughout the process so you know exactly what steps have been completed and what steps are next. 


heart handsWe're Here even After the Loan

For us, it's all about the relationship, and if you have a question about one of the largest purchases you will ever make, being able to talk with us, versus calling an automated 800 number, really means something! We service our loans, which means you will be making your payments locally, and talking with local people when you have questions.
