The process of getting a home loan can seem daunting, especially for first time home buyers. The home loan specialists at Artisans’ Bank have the knowledge and expertise to guide you through that process with ease.

Serving all of Delaware from Wilmington to the beach, Artisans‘ mortgage lending specialists Michele Speary and Tom Keehan serve New Castle and Kent Counties, and Sarah Slaysman serves Sussex County. All are always ready and happy to help find the perfect mortgage for you.

“Artisans Bank is a community bank, and loan decisions are made here,” said Speary. “We have many different products to offer that help our customers buy their dream home, including affordable options for first time buyers with discounted rates and fees.”

Michele, Tom and Sarah enjoy helping people through the home loan process. They take the time to get to know each customer and their particular needs.

“I love being a lender because I love helping people buy their first home or even to possibly buy a second home or investment property,” said Speary. “I love explaining it all so the buyer is more comfortable and knowledgeable about the whole process. I was an underwriter before I was a lender, so I know what the underwriter is going to require, and I get most of that information upfront to make the process go smoother for the customer.”

Keehan agrees that finding the right home loan for people is a rewarding experience. “I have been making loans for more than 30 years. It feels great to connect someone with the right loan to achieve their dreams and goals,” he said.

Artisans’ Bank has a wide range of home loan products including traditional fixed-rate loans, adjustable-rate mortgages, VA loans, FHA loans, construction loans and home equity loans. For new homeowners, Artisans’ offers special services including discounted rates and fees. On the Artisans’ website, ArtisansBank.com, first time buyers can also find links to educational articles that answer many questions about buying a home.

“The fact that Artisans’ can look at the individual needs of someone looking for a home loan or a Home Equity Line of Credit and make the loan decisions in-house is something that makes Artisan’s stand out from other banks,” said Keehan.

“A big benefit of securing a home loan with Artisans’ Bank is that all loan decisions are made locally,“ says Slaysman. “Most big banks now make loan decisions through a computer program. However, because Artisans’ is a local bank, we take the time to get to know the applicant and their loan needs.”
