Let’s start with your finances – getting them sorted is key! Next up, find and choose a builder. But here’s an important step: ensure your builder is ready and qualified to work with TEGFCU. Keep it simple, friendly, and clear – because we’re here to help you every step of the way!

Gather up your specs, plans, surveys, and all the necessary permits and certificates. It’s like collecting the pieces of a puzzle! Next step? Grab your builder’s proposed disbursement schedule. Remember, we’re here to guide you, offering valuable info every step of the way.

TEGFCU will inspect if needed. Why? Because we care about making things right. Next up, we’ll send the funds to your builder following the disbursement schedule. During construction, you’re only paying the interest on the loan. That’s right, just the interest. Let’s get building!

You’ll need to provide us with your certificate of occupancy, the final survey, and your homeowner’s insurance policy. Next up, let’s look at the amortization documents together. Why? Because they’re your roadmap to understanding how your mortgage payments are going to roll out before you begin the last step, repayment.

I had the pleasure of meeting Jeffrey Shields with TEG to apply for a mortgage for my home. Right out of the gate, he was dedicated and committed to what I was looking for and couldn’t have made the process any smoother. Not like he knew me, but he treated my like he did and was there for every question I had! He’s very passionate about his profession and always detailed right down to every little fact or dollar amount or input I seeked. I’d recommend Jeffrey Shields if you’re applying for a mortgage specifically a first time homeowner like myself. He really made the process flow with so much ease so little stress and very happy I chose Jeff with TEG to purchase my lake house.

I worked directly with Scott to secure my first mortgage. He was incredibly helpful and responsive, and was a great resource to me as I learned about the entire home buying process. I would recommend Scott to anyone looking to secure a mortgage for their home!

Jeff was invaluable in helping me get into my first condo. He was able to hook me up with the HDP grant that changed the game entirely. Not to mention he was always easily reachable and able to answer any questions I had. Choose TEGFCU and ask for Jeffrey Shields!
