Your homeownership goals + our financing solutions = dream result.
Home mortgage options you can bank on.
Whether you're purchasing or building your first home or refinancing your current one, we've got you covered with loans for almost every need. At The Bank of Elk River, our mortgage lenders are different. They genuinely care about your homeownership goals and will do whatever it takes (within law, of course) to help you reach them.
Mortgage Loan Options
Fixed-Rate Conventional Mortgage
Best if your priority is knowing your rate will never change and your principal and interest payment will stay the same during the life of the loan. Can also be used to refinance.
In-House Fixed-Rate Conventional Mortgage
Almost identical to a traditional fixed-rate conventional mortgage but we manage your mortgage locally allowing greater flexibility and a quicker closing.
In-House Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM)
Best if you plan to move or refinance within five to 10 years. We manage your mortgage locally allowing greater flexibility and a quicker closing. Choose from a 5/5 arm (5-year fixed rate w/ rate changes every 5 years) or a 10/1 arm (10-year fixed rate w/ rate changes every year).
New Construction Loans
Building your dream home can be as stressful as it is exciting. We offer flexible financing solutions and an experienced lending team to guide you every step of the way.
Save $1,000 with Our Heroes Program
Active or retired first responders (firefighter, law enforcement, or EMS worker) can save up to $1,000 on a loan origination fee for a new primary home or refinance through our Heroes Program. This is our way of saying "Thank you" for your commitment to keeping our communities safe. Simply ask your banker if you qualify.
Six steps to get you into your new home.
Step One
Get pre-approved so you know how much house you can afford and get an edge on the competition by providing a pre-approval letter with your offer.
Step Two
Submit an application once you have an accepted offer on your new home. You will likely need to provide the following:
Step Three
Stay in touch with your lender and respond promptly to any requests for more information.
Step Four
Be patient as many "behind-the-scenes" activities need to happen, like scheduling an appraisal to ensure a home's value aligns with the purchase price and a title search to make sure there are not any outstanding liens on your new property.
Step Five
Avoid making any large purchases or moving large amounts of money to ensure your debt-to-income ratio stays intact.
Step Six
Get ready for closing by carefully reviewing all of your paperwork, get a cashier's check that covers your down payment (possibly any closing costs), and arrange to get a proof of homeowner's insurance.
Congratulations! After closing, it is time to celebrate your new home and all of the adventures that await you.
