*Please note that when you apply for a loan, you will be required to create a borrower portal account before filling out the application. This ensures your information is secure and will allow you to easily upload and sign documents throughout the loan process.

 

   ***PLEASE READ - IMPORTANT***

We DO NOT sell your information to any third party after we pull your credit. After your credit is pulled, the 3 credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax & Transunion) immediately put this information on a marketing leads list, in the form of "trigger leads." Unfortunately, brokers & banks have no control to stop this, since the bureaus are regulated by the CFPB. We know how frustrating it can be to get hundreds of spam calls and to help prevent this – you can register with the Do-Not-Call Registry here: donotcall.gov

During rough time where interest rate keeps going up, I was able to close within 31 days. Communications and disciplined staff were great. Honest and integrity were as expected, no cut corners and no risky decisions. I love this organization and what they stand for, highly recommended.

My husband and I had the greatest experience with the refinancing of our mortgage with Petra. The staff were very professional and courteous. They made the whole experience less stressful for you by helping you to decide which option is best for you and also they constantly keep you up to date with the progress.
The process was quick and easy as long as you provide them with the necessary documents in a timely manner. Responsive time to phone calls were excellent. I would highly recommend you to contact this company right now for all your mortgage and refinancing needs! I promise you won’t be disappointed!
