About Us | NewCastle Home Loans

You shouldn't have to worry about the mortgage.

Big banks and internet lenders spend millions on advertising. You've seen the Superbowl commercials and their names on sports stadiums. They pass these costs on to you through higher mortgage rates and fees. 
But, unfortunately, all you get in exchange is a service that leaves much to be desired. Ultimately, dealing with clunky banks and call centers for your home loan isn't worth weeks of feeling nervous about an uncertain outcome. 

You're in the right place for better service and a lower rate on a home loan. 

We know buying a home can be a little scary, so we make sure the mortgage part goes smoothly. Our super-efficient loan process speeds up turn times and keeps you informed. 
Efficiency and low overhead drive down our costs. Then, we pass the savings to you so you can lock in the lowest rate for the best deal on your home loan.
