Making an IMPACT

Our mortgage lending team made the decision to partner with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Atlanta to provide more opportunities for our customers to become homeowners. We believe homeownership is a great investment in an individual’s financial future and we would like to be a part of that future. A Federal Home Loan grant can help homebuyers cover closing costs or surprise expenses that can make or break a deal.

“We’re excited to become a bigger player in the mortgage market,” says John Gardner, loans operations director. “We want to provide competitive rates and this is a huge step to get this group of people in homes.”

Subsidies range from $7,500 – $10,000, depending on eligibility and can be paired with other FHLB of Atlanta products. The process is simple, with a screening process with a Carter Bank & Trust mortgage loan specialist and an online application. We’ll be accepting applications from now until the money runs out, so don’t waste any time!
