Why Choose First Equity as Your Tuscaloosa Mortgage Broker & Trusted Banking Partner?
In a flood of faceless national lenders, First Equity stands out with our unbeatable local edge—rooted right here in the heart of Alabama's Crimson Tide country. Our founder cut his teeth closing his very first loans in nearby Mountain Brook back in 1985, paving the way for launching this esteemed firm in 1987. As mortgage trailblazers then, we're full-fledged mortgage banking innovators now, delivering customized solutions that national giants can't touch—especially in Tuscaloosa's thriving market, where median home sales hit $324K last month, up 4.7% year-over-year.
