Purchase, Refinance or Build Your Home with First Pryority Bank

Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer or looking to refinance, our local team can deliver competitive rates and customized repayment terms. We offer a wide selection of home loan solutions that can be tailored to fit your situation.

Conventional

Conforming Conventional Home Mortgage Loans conform to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines set by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). You can buy a primary residence, second home, or rental property with most standard conventional loans and have a choice of fixed rates, and various term options.

FHA

FHA Home Mortgage Loans are insured by the Federal Housing Administration, which allows lenders to offer mortgage financing to homebuyers who may not meet the qualifications of conventional loan programs. Because they are government-backed loans, the requirements are a little more flexible. FHA loans are great for first-time homebuyers and repeat buyers. The biggest advantage is the down payment requirement.

VA

VA Home Mortgage Loans are a special type of mortgage option designed to provide long-term home financing to active military members and veterans and are guaranteed by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs. VA home mortgage loans have more flexible requirements, like a wider credit score threshold than many other loan programs. You served your country, and we are so grateful for that. Now let us serve you with special financing just for veterans.

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!”
