Regional Branch Manager @ About Us
NFC Mortgage was founded on a very simple principle: That the consumer should not have to pay money to obtain a home loan. This principle is based on the fact that the traditional fees charged to the home loan borrower (points and closing costs) are never recovered. NFC Mortgage works with our clients to help them manage their debt. This means obtaining the lowest rate available with a no cost home loan and making sure they always have the best program.
Mission Statement
To provide our clients with products and services tailored to meet their specific needs at the best rates possible, while providing the highest quality of customer service. We empower our employees by providing them with the tools, knowledge and support in order to provide their clients with the quality of service they deserve.
Vision Statement
NFC Mortgage prides itself in the high quality of the products and services provided to our clients. By consistently meeting and exceeding their needs, we strive to become the standard for excellence in the home loan industry.
