With the current boom in housing starts and relocations, Orlando is served by a host of Mortgage Lenders and Brokers. 1st Residential Funding, Inc. competes head to head with the commercial banks offering it's services state wide. 1st Residential Funding is a correspondent residential mortgage lender located in the heart of Central Florida's high tech region. The University of Central Florida (2nd largest student population in state), Westinghouse, Lockhead-Martin, AT&T and several research parks are within a 10 mile radius. Of course the Theme Parks and tourist industry create their own synergy that feed all of Central Florida's economy. We pride ourselves on maintaining 1st Residential Funding's excellent reputation in the business community. We offer the lowest rates possible to qualified customers while not charging Loan Origination Fees. Being a correspondent lender (directly affiliated with multiple lenders) rather than a broker (fees added to closing costs) allows us to give our customers the most competitive rate. In addition our large volume allows us to keep our costs low. Involvement in the community is essential in today's business environment. We are involved with the Orlando Chamber of Commerce, the Oviedo Chamber of Commerce and the Woman's Small Business Council, which enable us to share ideas and concerns effecting issues of today. Knowing that we have had a hand in making someone's dream home come true and a having a voice in a growing and prosperous community within Central Florida gives us a great deal of satisfaction. Sincerely, Lynda Danna President
