Every mortgage is reviewed by lenders who live and work in Eastern Iowa. We know the Cedar Rapids, Marion, Hiawatha, and Tiffin markets because we are part of them. When you have a question, you talk to the person reviewing your file.

Grant Programs Most Lenders Don't Offer

FSB connects eligible buyers to programs like the FHLB Home$tart grant, the FHLB Mortgage Rate Relief Program, IFA FirstHome Plus, and Homes for Iowans. We help you identify which programs you qualify for and handle the paperwork.
