Why Choose Team Hawk? Our focus is 100% on financing the American Dream and the experience of getting you there. Unlike a typical bank that has many different products and services to sell, our company is able to focus on our specialty, mortgages, and closing them efficiently. As both a mortgage banker and mortgage broker, we have the flexibility to successfully fulfill all clients’ needs. Whether that need is for a fast approval or for the most competitive rate, we have the ability to meet it. When we act as a mortgage banker, we are the lender, which means we control the loan pricing and decision-making from start to finish. We also have the ability to act as a mortgage broker when we need to supplement our in-house product offerings to meet the special product or pricing needs of our clients. By utilizing this control, our clients receive faster, more efficient service.

Once all the documentation is provided, your loan will be sent to one of our Processors, who will make sure everything is in order before sending it off to the Underwriter.

Here, we will satisfy any remaining conditions to your final approval as quickly as possible to get you to the closing table.
