Residential Loans

Ready to make a big move?
We're here to help.


House hunting in Massachusetts or southern New Hampshire? You'll focus first on floor plans and front porches, lot sizes and local schools. But at some point, you’ll need to turn your attention to how you’re going to pay for that perfect place. With so much at stake, it’s nice to work with people who have done this for decades. At the Institution for Savings, we’re ready to guide you through the mortgage process and provide a loan you can live with for the long run.

Buying your first home can be daunting....and that is why we are here to help you navigate the journey and explain all the mortgage options available. You'll be able to make informed choices and find the mortgage that fits your budget and lifestyle through our First-Time Homebuyer program.
 
A First-time Homebuyer Education Class is recommended for all first-time homebuyers and required for some of our programs.  As an added incentive, Institution for Savings will provide a $500.00 closing credit to all applicants who complete an approved course and close their loan with us.  We have also partnered with local First-time Homebuyer Education providers and offer an "at closing" refund of their standard course fee, in addition to our closing cost credit.

First-time Homebuyer courses provide important information about:
  • Qualifying and applying for a home mortgage
  • Working with realtors, home inspectors and closing attorneys
  • Purchasing homeowners insurance
  • Special issues surrounding condominiums and multifamily homes 
 To register for a class, contact one of our non-profit partners listed below.
