FAST loan approvals. Secure On-line application. We make it Easy! State of the Art technology combined with fast decisions and solutions to your home financing needs! Electronic filing of most required documents means it gets there faster and you get a decision faster. We've cut down on duplicated information, too -- give it to us once, our systems "remember" it so we don't ask again! And beyond our state-of-the-art technology, we have good old fashioned expertise in mortgage lending. We know the ins and outs. We do the heavy lifting for you -- saving you time and aggravation.
Why Locals & Realtors Prefer FBT Mortgage, a subsidiary of First Bank and Trust. Buying a home is one of the top 10 most stressful events in a person's life, right up there with getting married, having a baby, etc. Plus, you don't do it everyday. When you've picked out your dream home, the paperwork and hoops to jump through with disclosures, appraisals, inspections, title insurance, escrow, notaries and more can be overwhelming. We are in-house processing and in-house government underwriting. We don't just take your loan application and then ship it off to an out-of-state processing center, like many large lenders. We can get your loan closed more quickly as a result.
The most stressful part of the loan process is waiting for your final approval. When you have a question regarding your loan, you will actually get a live person when you call our Biloxi Office. I personally return all of my calls the same day. If I am out of the office, my calls are forwarded to my cell phone. When you send me an email, you can count on a reply the same or next business day, guaranteed.
Many first-time homebuyers think their real estate agent will help them through a confusing mortgage process. Your real estate agent is looking out for you, no question about it. But it's your FBT Mortgage Team who works on your behalf, with all that paperwork, to ensure that your loan is approved and that you close on your home purchase timely. We make it easy so that you can focus on your exciting future!
