We recently closed our construction to permanent mortgage loan with Clay Carden, Madison Bell and team at First Pryority Bank.  I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a mortgage or construction loan.  They were very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to help us with both the Construction Loan and (especially) the transition from Constuction Loan to Permanent Mortgage Loan.  I am actually going to miss talking to them now that we are done! What a great team!!

I’m not a seasoned borrower which made things intimidating and confusing. Clay took extra time, multiple times, to explain things I was having trouble with. My wife and I enjoyed working with him and his professional team, including, Madison and Amanda. They all were instrumental, efficient, and very helpful through this whole home building/loan/mortgage process. I would highly recommend First Priority Bank and specifically, Clay Carden and his team. Thank you guys for making this a memorable experience!

Clay Carden and his wonderful team.  We used them for a new construction loan as well and the permanent loan when we completed our home.   Clay was there to explain everything along the way and help guide us through. The team made things so easy and efficient.  Great customer service and would not hesitate to use them again for a loan!

“We love banking with First Pryority! We recently used them for our home mortgage loan and by far, they made it the easiest process. Clay and his team made sure everything was done in a timely manner and always had our best interest first. We felt like we weren’t just another customer to them, but they truly care for our future. Also, Mike Kochevar is the best there, always. Their insight and knowledge continues to help us tremendously personally and in our business account there day after day. Thank you First Priority for all you hard work!”
