Read article in the Nashville Business Journal
Legacy Home Loans has changed its name to Steadfast Mortgage to reflect the company’s superior customer service, growing market share, and expanded product offerings.
“Our company has grown substantially over the past 12 months, evolving from a smaller in-house mortgage company to a best-in-class mortgage bank based in Nashville,” said Shawn Meehan, president of Steadfast Mortgage. “It made sense to rebrand to reflect the significant changes to and growth in our business. The name Steadfast represents our reliable and trustworthy loan officers and support team.”
Steadfast ranks among Middle Tennessee’s top five residential mortgage lenders by closed loan volume and offers numerous new mortgage products with the most competitive rates for both conforming and jumbo loans. The company has also expanded its offerings with innovative programs, such as the Guaranteed Closing Program, designed to help buyers differentiate their offers in the competitive Middle Tennessee real estate market.
Steadfast has welcomed multiple high-producing mortgage advisors to its team this year, expanding its footprint to include Wilson County in addition to Davidson, Williamson, Sumner, and Rutherford counties. Adding the historic production of these loan advisors to Steadfast’s current seasoned lenders puts Steadfast on pace to close over $1 billion in loans next year.
