First Mortgage Loans

trusted mortgage lender


BEFCU is here to assist you with all your mortgage needs.

Whether you are buying a new home or taking some cash out, wondering what loan amount you might qualify for, what loan program works best for you, what you need to provide, or just want to ask questions about the loan or home buying process, call BEFCU today.

A mortgage loan is often the largest loan anyone will ever have, especially with today’s housing prices. 

And, if you are looking to do some improvements to your home but have a low rate first mortgage and don’t want to lose the rate, talk to BEFCU about a home equity line of credit (HELOC). This is a great way to keep your low rate first mortgage while having funds available any time to make some improvements or even make a quick purchase. Qualify one time and draw funds from your HELOC anytime for up to seven years—and repay what you borrow over 15 years.

Don't let rising mortgage rates and home prices chase your dreams away.  BEFCU will help find a loan program that accomplishes your goal.
