Envoy Mortgage

First Houston Mortgage, Ltd. was renamed Envoy Mortgage, Ltd in October of 2008. Envoy Mortgage is a Mortgage Bank with an incredibly experienced staff offering expertise in all areas of mortgage lending. As a mortgage bank, Envoy Mortgage controls the entire loan process from the initial application all the way through the delivery of the loan into the secondary market.

We are able to ensure an accurate and faster closing process because each step occurs in-house – processing, underwriting, closing, funding, shipping and secondary marketing. Because we control the entire process, there are limited surprises for our loan officers, borrowers and banking partners.

Envoy Mortgage has direct endorsement authority from the Federal National Mortgage Association (also known as “Fannie Mae”) as well as the Federal Housing Administration (also known as “FHA”).

American Homefront Mortgage

In the mortgage business it is hard to find genuine and honest owners and American Homefront had this. When the option of brokering out mortgages became less efficient and more painful, American Homefront merged with Envoy Mortgage of Houston, TX

Mortgages Direct

Based in Houston with offices all over Texas Mortgages direct offered an ideal atmosphere for the near beginning of my career.
