Why choose NBM for your home loan?
Local decision-making
Where is your bank’s corporate headquarters? Do they hold or sell your loan? Can you walk in and speak with a decision-maker? National Bank of Middlebury’s “corporate” headquarters is in Middlebury, Vermont and has been for almost 200 years. We live here and know the challenges and joys that come with buying a home here.
Local servicing
Often types of loans are sold to secondary markets. When we sell a loan, we retain servicing rights to it so we know what is going on with the loan relationship and can be there for you if a need should arise. We think it’s important to maintain a relationship with the person who trusted us with their lending needs in the first place.
World class products with local attention
You don’t have to sacrifice one for the other. We offer all the convenience that modern technology can provide but also love to see you in person and help you over the phone. We know our customers beyond the numbers, heck, we even know their dogs most of the time.
