For seven consecutive years, AllSouth was recognized as the Best Mortgage Bank in Columbia.* That achievement reflects the dedication, expertise, and member-first service each lender of our mortgage team brings to every new and existing financing journey. Our lenders consistently uphold our core values of service, respect, collaboration, empathy, and adaptability in helping our members finance their homes.
From your first conversation with one of our lenders to the day your receive the keys to your new home, we're here to guide you every step of the way. We take your homebuying journey seriously and personally, because we believe in helping our neighbors fulfill their dream of homeownership. We service all our mortgages for the life of the loan, so you can rest assured that your payments and questions will remain with the local team you know and trust.
Homebuyers like you come from all walks of life and have individual circumstances and unique needs when considering a mortgage. By understanding these differences, staying up to date with market trends and changes, and implementing internet-based systems and tools to streamline the process, we have adapted to provide the best products and rates to meet each member’s needs. We avoid providing cookie-cutter service to our members because no two members are the same.
A major cornerstone of our mortgage team is respect. It’s important that we give each of our members equal care and attention. This is how we build trust and foster lasting relationships with our members, even beyond the homebuying process.
The people handling your mortgage should be able to relate to your homebuying experience. It’s easy for us to empathize with our members in handling complications, supporting progress, and celebrating the milestone of being cleared to close. We’re not just your mortgage bank; we’re your neighbors.
