Since 1888 we have been helping people on the North Shore realize their dreams of home ownership. Whether you’re in the market for your first home, a vacation home or income property, we're the first place you should turn to for financing.

First Time Home Buyers
Those buying their first home may be able to take advantage of our home financing plans designed with the first-time buyer in mind. Some of the features include low down payments, more flexible income qualifying ratios, and favorable loan terms. We also participate in MassHousing’s first-time buyer loan programs.
Fixed-Rate Mortgages
If you’re looking for the security of a fixed rate and fixed monthly payments for the entire term of your loan, you should consider a Fixed-Rate Mortgage. We have a range of terms and down payment options available to assist in creating a mortgage solution that fits your budget.
Adjustable-Rate Mortgages
An Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM) generally has a lower initial interest rate than fixed-rate loans, therefore lower initial monthly payments. The initial rate is generally fixed for a specific period, after which it may adjust annually. Your interest rate and monthly payment may increase or decrease during the term of your loan, depending on changes in the index rate. Adjustable-rate loans usually include interest rate caps that limit the amount the interest rate can increase or decrease at each adjustment, as well as over the life of the loan.
Jumbo Mortgages
Thinking big? When your financing needs require a larger loan, we offer jumbo loans with either fixed or adjustable rates.
Financing Options for Homeowners
FreedomFlex Equity Line of Credit
If you’re a homeowner, our FreedomFlex Equity Line of Credit could be the most flexible and affordable solution for financing the important things in life from remodeling your home, to paying college tuition, to giving your daughter her dream wedding. Our FreedomFlex Equity Line is a unique product that combines various features of both a Home Equity Line of Credit and a Home Equity Loan, plus some extra options to better serve your changing financial needs. First, you choose the payment option that best fits your financial need. Then once you’re using the line, our FreedomFlex gives you the flexibility to “lock-in” the rate, term and payment for a portion of your balance, so you can protect yourself from the possibility of rising rates. Best of all, you pay nothing for your FreedomFlex Equity Line until you use it!
