Listing text
Founded in 1982, The Towne Mortgage Family of Companies has more than 40 years of experience in the mortgage industry. Passionate about our customers, our company and the communities we serve, Towne is actively involved with many non-profit organizations. Our community outreach initiatives are not just a side-effect of our business; they are the heart of it. We are, first and foremost, a local lender. Our commitment extends beyond outreach to the products we offer, including a program specifically designed to aid in the rehabilitation of struggling neighborhoods. So while we have experienced aggressive growth in the past 3 years, we continue to focus on areas often underserved by large, corporate lenders.
