About Hurst Lending’s Foreign National Experts
Hurst Lending & Insurance History
Hurst Lending was founded in 2006 as full-service mortgage lending company. Over the years we added a number of several specialty lending divisions – including our group of Foreign National Mortgage experts.
At Hurst Lending, we don’t believe in turning people away because their situation doesn’t fit the profile of a standard mortgage loan. We have a wide range of products, such as our Foreign National loans, that help people who are financially responsible achieve their homeownership dreams. The expat and work visa program was built to help you secure a home, whether you are an expatriate looking to invest in the United States or are soon to be working in the United States and want to secure a mortgage before your arrival. If you are a foreign national seeking to purchase a second home or investment property within the United States, our team of foreign national mortgage experts is available to connect you to local realtors and help you discover the perfect location for your new property.
Mortgage Lending and Niche Loans
We offer great rates on conventional mortgages – well below national averages in most cases – but what makes Hurst Lending unique is our special expertise is meeting specialized mortgage lending needs. If there is a situation that is creating a barrier to getting a home loan, such as a pending divorce, expat status, self-employment, or other logistical challenges, we can usually find a solution. We do this by developing relationships with investors who have specific interests, and in some cases by lending our own funds.
Home & Auto Insurance
In 2013, Hurst added an insurance brokerage business, offering home and auto insurance from major providers. As an insurance broker, we work for you to find the best policy and rates for your needs, saving our customers an average of $450/year.
How We Do Busines
We are family owned and operated, and we experience very little employee turnover. We believe in building relationships, and our team aims to go beyond providing a great experience on the loan you need today. We want to earn our place as your long-term lending and insurance team.
