VA Mortgage Center of Idaho

 

Kim Heinen & Faith Sanders, VA Mortgage Center of Idaho

 

   VA Mortgage Center.com, the nation’s No. 1 dedicated VA lender, is proud to announce the opening of its first branch in Mountain Home, Idaho.

   VAMC’s Idaho branch is located at 170 E Jackson Street in Mountain Home. Active duty personnel and veterans across the region will now have brick-and-mortar access to the country’s leading VA lender, serving the great state of Idaho.

   Based in Columbia, Mo., VA Mortgage Center.com will make available more than $1 billion in financing in 2011. More than 500,000 military families have come to VAMC for help with their home loan benefits since 2002.

   Kim Heinen, wife of retired Air Force EOD specialist and mortgage lender for over 14 years, will manage the Mountain Home branch. Heinen, resident of Mountain Home since 1996, urges service members and their families to consider their VA home loan benefits when the time comes to purchase or refinance.

   “These flexible, no-down payment loans are more important than ever given the current lending climate,” Heinen said. “There’s no other loan program available that gives veterans and their families this type of buying power.”

   Faith Sanders, wife of active duty Master Sargent Darrin Sanders, is the Mountain Home office’s loan officer assistant. A resident of Mountain Home since 2007, Faith is knowledgeable about the area and will assist Kim in guiding the home-buying process for Idaho’s veterans.

        VAMC branches have direct access to underwriters, loan processors, closers, legal resources and a 20-person marketing team. The partnership is helping individual brokers and small to midsize companies maximize local revenues and better serve America’s military families.

   “This program is already making a huge difference for local VA specialists and the service members who rely on their expertise and efficiency,” said Nathan Long, CEO of VA Mortgage Center.com. “The response has been tremendous so far, which tells us we’re serving a crucial need in communities nationwide.”

   A tighter credit market and sagging housing industry have fueled renewed interest in this long-cherished program. VA loans feature more flexible credit and underwriting standards than conventional loans. Qualified service members can purchase a home with no money down and no out-of-pocket costs.

   VA loan volume has soared 135 percent since 2006, jumping to 314,011 loans in 2010 from just 133,313 in 2007.

   At the same time, VA loans remain the safest lending option on the market.

   That combination of purchasing power and protection is pushing thousands of veterans to explore the significant home lending benefits earned by their service.
