FHA Loan Product

FHA Loans are a great way to save money on your home purchase or refinance.  Because these loans are insured through the federal government, FHA mortgages are easier to qualify for than conventional home loans.

The biggest benefit of an FHA loan is the ability to put a smaller amount of money down.  Buyers using this financing can put as little as 3.5% down towards their home purchase.  These loans also carry a 1.50-1.75% FHA funding fee that is rolled into the loan.  FHA borrowers also get to receive reduced monthly mortgage insurance compared to the monthly premiums on conventional loans that are over 80% loan to value.

Flat Branch Home Loans is a Full Eagle FHA lender servicing the entire state of Missouri.  Our status with HUD allows Flat Branch to underwrite FHA mortgages on behalf of the US Department of Housing and Urban Development.  This means that your FHA loan will all be processed and underwritten in Missouri by the friendly Flat Branch Home Loan staff.  Flat Branch makes FHA mortgages easy while saving you money.

We just recently purchased our first home and the process can be quite intimidating but Shawn and the team at Flat Branch Mortgage made it easy and almost completely effortless for my family. We appreciate Shawn and Flat Branch Mortgage’s professionalism and the fact that it seems like you care about your customers. I would feel extremely confident in recommending their services to anyone. It is very rare that I rate anyone or anything at the highest rating throughout a survey; Shawn and Flat Branch Mortgage are the exception. As hard as I try to think of even one aspect of our experience with them that was unfavorable, I can't. Good communication and accurate information are the keys to a smooth transaction. Shawn Von Tagle and Flat Branch Mortgage are outstanding. We highly recommend Flat Branch services as you proved yourselves trustworthy of the most important transaction…buying a home. Shawn, I want to thank you for your assistance and professionalism in getting this deal put together You were always pleasant , informed, helpful and always followed up in a timely manner. You are quite an asset any organization would be fortunate to have. Thank you again

Dear Mr. Batt, I appreciate all the extra effort and time that you put into the loan for my clients. Your follow up with my clients was excellent, and you kept them apprised of everything that was happening with their loan. They felt like they were informed and knowledgeable every step of the process, and that truly made their home buying experience more enjoyable. As the realtor?, I appreciate so much that you treated my customers like family. They were able to have a much smoother transaction because of the care you took with them. I feel that you also gave me the necessary information to help my clients make the best home choice, and I would definitely recommend you to other home buyers. Thank you so much!

"I felt so comfortable working with Shawn. He was easy to talk to and explained all the answers to my questions in a way that was easy for me to understand. He made this process as easy as it could possibly be. I appreciate everything! I would definitely recommend him to anyone!"

"Just wanted to inform all about a quality experience I recently had with Shawn Von Talge nad Eric Hemmer. They actually helped my mother with a loan and she could not stop talking about how they were not only professional but very trustworthy. Everything they had told her was to the tee. No surprises and smooth as silk! This is what we as realtors look for and don't always get. There are good lenders here in Columbia but since my mother won't shut up about them I figured it was worth mentioning. Thanks Shawn and Eric".

?I was in a situation where I needed to refinance my home so I could clear my ex-wife from the title. When I came to Scott to talk about my situation and my lack of knowledge with my VA benefits I couldn't have been more surprised. Scott sat down with me, explained absolutely everything I needed to know about my benefits, worked out the best possible situation for me, and took care of everything! I couldn't believe how easy it was and the amount of money I am saving. I truly believe Scott really cares about his customers and strives to be the best at what he does. Thanks again!?

We were supposed to close on a Monday and on the Wednesday before that the first company we tried working with told us they would not be able to get everything don by Monday. Thinking the situation was hopeless, we contacted Jessica Robertson at Flat Branch Mortgage. I know a loan in 3 days is not standard, but she pulled it off and we didn’t lose our house, earnest money, or anything- thank you!

Jessica was a blast to work with! She helped make our first time home buyers experience much less intimidating and less scary. She was very personable and made us both very comfortable.

"Tina (Howard), I just wanted to say thanks again for all of your hard work in helping me buy my first home. I truly believe I couldn't have done it without you by my side. We are very pleased with our home and have already started some big projects. Corey and I crack jokes all the time about "Welcome to homeownership". Thanks again! It was a pleasure and I feel like I picked up a new friend."
