William Raveis Mortgage Recognized for Superior Ability To Make Low Downpayment Loans

Friday, March 5th, 2010

Charles Ferraro, President of William Raveis Mortgage, LLC, has recently announced that William Raveis Mortgage is ranked in the top 1% of all FHA lenders in the United States. The ranking is based on the US Department of Housing & Urban Development, compare ratio statistics. 

The mortgage company, which has been operating since 1984, received this honor as a result of the company’s long-time ethical, responsible lending policies especially during a time when many other lenders were drawn into exotic mortgage loans that led to the recent housing recession.

Products include mortgage loans with 97% conventional financing on single family purchases and 95% conventional financing on purchase and rate/term refinances on single family properties and condominiums with conventional financing, both with private mortgage insurance.  

An additional low financing benefit is also available to those looking for a second home. William Raveis Mortgage can provide up to 90% LTV conventional financing with private mortgage insurance.  The maximum loan amount is $417,000 for these programs with low down payments and private mortgage insurance. 

“If you are in the market to take advantage of great rates and good housing values,” stated Ferraro, “now is the time to maximize your purchasing power with William Raveis Mortgage, nationally recognized as a high quality low down payment lender.”
