We Make the Mortgage Process Manageable

Buying a home is a big decision, and it can feel even bigger when it’s your first time. As the Official Mortgage Lender of the Kansas City Chiefs, our team includes local lenders and processors, so you can count on us for the expertise you need. We’re here to answer your questions and guide you through every step in the home-buying process.

We’re proud to offer a First-Time Homebuyer Loan1 with down payment options as low as 0%. This loan features 100% Loan to Value (LTV)1 and a fixed interest rate for the first 10 years, giving you predictable payments and peace of mind. After the initial 10 years, your rate adjusts every 6 months, keeping your mortgage competitive and flexible to meet your needs.

As an added bonus, a mortgage with us can help you qualify for an increased share of our Profit Payout. This year, qualified mortgage households received an average Profit Payout of $267!*
