Real Relationships, Real Growth Potential
First Colony Mortgage has been helping families achieve the dream of homeownership since 1984. We started out as a local lender in central Utah and have grown into a nationwide company, but our commitment to each individual client hasn’t changed. First Colony Wholesale was built to support independent mortgage experts, investors, credit unions, and banks. We keep underwriting, funding, and closing in-house, so you get the consistency and speed your clients expect, without the paperwork hassle. We’re here to help your business find its rhythm — and your clients win.
Why Become a Partner
A lot of wholesale lenders will tell you they’re easy to work with.
We’d rather show you.
When you partner with First Colony Wholesale, you get:
Everything done in-house
Underwriting, processing, funding, and closing
is all handled under one roof. That means no
handoffs, and no surprises. Just consistently
great service.
Fast, consistent communication
You’ll always know where your file stands and
have a real person to call anytime you need
an update.
A product lineup built to close more deals
From flexible programs for self-employed
borrowers to creative loan structures for
first-time buyers, we’ve created a library of
loan options to help you say yes more often.
A dedicated Account Executive who knows your name
No call centers or third party support here.
You’ll have a dedicated team of wholesale
experts who are genuinely motivated to help
you grow.
Four decades of customer trust
We’ve been doing this since 1984, and we’ve
earned our customer trust through years of
providing great lending experiences, one
family at a time.
