Mortgage Loans in Vermont
A small, licensed team that answers your texts. Shay Yates is licensed as a mortgage loan originator in Vermont, and we help Vermont buyers and homeowners from our Springfield, Missouri office.
Local feel, wherever you are in Vermont
Buying or refinancing in Vermont does not have to feel like dealing with a faceless lender. You will know who is working on your loan, you can reach us by text or by phone, and we explain each decision before you make it.
We are licensed to help borrowers across Vermont, including markets such as Burlington, Montpelier, Rutland, and Brattleboro. Property taxes, insurance, and closing practices can vary by state and county, so we explain what applies where you are buying. We do not guess at your numbers. Not every loan program is available in every area, and all loans are subject to credit and property approval.
Shay is the loan officer licensed in Vermont. Licensing for other team members varies by state, so please start with Shay.
