Your Austin Mortgage Experts
Highlander Mortgage is a full-service mortgage company located in Austin, Texas. We have been in business since 2008 and we are still going strong today by providing you with the lowest mortgage rates you’ll find anywhere on the following home loans:
- Conventional loans
- FHA loans
- VA loans
- Jumbo loans
- Home Equity loans
- Purchase-money second liens
- Primary Residence, Second Home, Investment Properties
We have a very simple operation with low overhead, so we are able to deliver the best possible service at the lowest possible price. Also, we use the latest technology to ensure that your personal information stays secure. When it comes to security, most of our competitors do not have anything close to what we have!
We’re not just loan officers – we’re homeowners too!
We’re not some call center guy in West Palm Beach who sees you as a number – we are Austin-area homeowners just like you are, or want to be! In fact, we were even first time home buyers once! We have bought homes, sold homes, made mortgage payments, called electricians and plumbers (after unsuccessfully trying to do our own repairs), made home improvements, mowed our own lawns, hired people to mow our lawns for us – you name it.
Our philosophy regarding home loans is very simple: no two clients are exactly alike and no two situations are exactly alike; therefore, a one-size-fits-all approach to mortgages is never in the best interest of our clients.
We are long-term thinkers who advise our clients against “quick fixes” and in favor of long-term stability and personal wealth-building. The more money we can save our clients over the long term, the better. Our goal is to deliver a mortgage experience that is second-to-none so you will want to tell all your friends and family about us. We can’t do that unless we provide exceptional customer service and rates that are the lowest in the marketplace.
At Highlander Mortgage, we believe that our first-class service should not stop once the transaction is complete. So we make sure that all of our clients understand that they can call us any time they have a question about anything related to mortgages. (Of course they can ask us a question about anything else, but we only claim to be experts when it comes to mortgages!)
Ashby McDonald, the owner, has over fifteen years of experience in the mortgage industry as a loan officer and broker. After obtaining a bachelor’s degree in Finance from the Cox School of Business at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, Ashby spent six years in corporate finance in the area of strategic planning and mergers and acquisitions. Then he found his true calling: to help individuals, rather than large corporations, achieve their financial dreams.
First-Time Home Buyers
If you are a first time home buyer, there are certain programs that Highlander Mortgage wants you to know about:
FHA loans only require 3.5% down!
FHA is the way to go if you have a steady job but not a lot of savings. You only need a 620 credit score and 3.5% down payment. What’s even better: that 3.5% down payment can come from a family member!
A low-cost home loan with only 3% down is closer than you think!
With an uncertain economy and the lowest interest rates in history, 3% down is the way to go if you can qualify, and qualifying is a lot easier than you think with our low-cost 3% down options, designed to save you money now and in the future. There are income limitations for this type of loan, so click here for more details!
