Our Community Mortgage Network is your resource for access to fixed & variable rate loans via the secondary market. Help your customers realize their dreams of owning their own homes.
 

Why the Community Mortgage Network?

  1. Community Banks have long been looking for access to secondary markets. Many providers of this service have forgotten the specific needs of community bankers in this area and are not able to provide the level of service that is required for these banks

  2. Community banks in Ohio are looking for a provider that can give them the expertise and training required to guarantee that the bank's customer relationship won't be dissolved from exposure to secondary market lending.

  3. Community banks are looking to provide these services, but do not want to take on the overhead or responsibilities of servicing these mortgages. However, they also do not want the customer relationship taken away from their bank during the servicing period, nor do they want their relationship destroyed by this portion of the lending activity.

  4. Community bankers are looking to secondary markets as a defensive strategy to maintain customer relationships. No one wants to lose business to a competitor because they are unable to provide the service the customer desires.

  5. Community banks see secondary market lending as an offensive strategy that will increase their present customer base, increase community exposure, increase cross-selling opportunities and increase profits.
