Whether you're buying your first home or looking to invest, we can help you get there.
Residential Mortgage
SCCU offers various types of mortgage loans, including fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans. Call one of our mortgage experts at (423) 875-6955 to discuss the mortgage loan that would be best for you, or talk to a loan officer in person at your closest branch.
In addition to visiting a branch, current SCCU members can also choose to apply for a mortgage online. We recommend speaking to a loan officer before you apply, even if you're planning to apply online, to make sure you're applying for the loan that's right for you. (If you do not currently have SCCU accounts, you can start the process online or apply in person at your closest branch.)
Mortgage Application Resources
Home buying can be complicated, but you don't have to do it alone. Here are some resources to help you prepare:
- GreenPath Housing Services. Our partners at GreenPath Financial Wellness can help you navigate the home-buying process and make informed decisions. You can look through their online resources, or talk to a Certified Financial Counselor for personalized advice.
- Mortgage Shopping Toolkit. This downloadable PDF from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau walks you through the home buying process, from preparing for a mortgage to taking care of your home after move-in.
