Flagship Lending

Flagship Lending is a mortgage broker in Rolling Meadows, Illinois, serving first-time home buyers, existing homeowners, and real estate partners. The company offers first-time purchase mortgages, mortgage refinancing, and investment property loans, which may be structured as residential mortgages or commercial real estate loans depending on the borrower type and property characteristics. Flagship Lending works with FHA loans, conventional mortgages, jumbo mortgage products, and investment property loans.

The company's approach centers on matching borrowers with loan products suited to their individual needs. Flagship Lending cites established partnerships with many banks and financial institutions and knowledge of different loan products. Its partner banks and lenders largely operate on a wholesale model, dealing with brokers rather than directly with customers, which the company states reduces loan underwriting costs and translates into a better rate. Flagship Lending encourages first-time buyers to engage early so they can get pre-approved, shop around, and make an offer on a home while avoiding issues in securing a mortgage and closing on time. For refinancing, the company advises checking in as interest rates change to see how much a borrower can save on a current mortgage.
