Choosing the mortgage that’s right for you

Find a loan and tailor the terms to meet your specific needs

Easier said than done, we know. But there are ways to simplify the homebuying process. That’s because the more we know about you – where you are now, your dreams and aspirations for down the road, and so on – the better the chances we’ll be able to tailor a mortgage that checks all the right boxes – for you.

Two main mortgage types, plenty of variables. Let's break it down.

Fixed-rate loan

Your interest rate and loan payments remain the same for the entire term of your loan. Fixed-rate loans offer stability in fluctuating market conditions and are a good choice if you plan to own your home for a long time.

Variable-rate loan

You have a fixed-interest rate for a set period of your loan, after which interest rates vary based on market rates. You typically will get a low rate for the fixed term — a good thing if you plan on selling the property within the fixed period.

Let’s do this together

Your mortgage needs can depend on where you’re moving, how long you plan to stay, your projected income and more. We’re here to help you create a loan that’s tailored to your current needs — and supports your long-term goals.
