We provide expert financial advice to people who are making one of the biggest financial transactions of their lives.
As you learn about the Ark way of doing business, one thing will become quickly clear: we are here for our Mortgage Advisors. We always make sure they are getting the best products, pricing and support. When they have what they really need, our clients get what they need — and Ark thrives as well.

As a mortgage lender, not a mortgage broker, we do the deal from start to finish. We consult with our borrowers, make sure they shop for the right amount of house for their financial reality and get them pre-approved so they can make a strong offer. We help them gather their documents and submit everything to our in-house underwriting team. We arrange for appraisals and make sure everything is in order so that the closing goes smoothly. We even service the loan, making sure the borrower is taken care of throughout the life of the loan.
Because we work with the borrower throughout the process, our Advisors can handle issues that brokers simply cannot. We also work with borrowers that have more complex situations. And since we work with the borrower over the long run, we can offer things like our Lifetime Guarantee. They never have to pay loan origination fees on the same property if they ever decide to refinance a loan they made with us.
Ark has emerged from the recent interest hikes with the largest market share in its community… and with some of the highest earning loan originators in the country.
