PrimeLending Named a Top Lending Partner by USDA Rural Development Program in Missouri

DALLAS, Dec. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- National residential mortgage lender PrimeLending, a PlainsCapital Company, is pleased to announce that it recently received recognition from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development as one of the largest originators of Guaranteed Rural Housing Loans in Missouri.

USDA Rural Development partners with local lenders, such as PrimeLending, to extend 100% financing opportunities to rural individuals and families. The federal government agrees to "guarantee" the loan, therefore reducing lender risk when making mortgage loans. The end result is more buyers achieving the dream of homeownership with affordable and attractive terms with assistance from Rural Development.

While more than 70 lenders participate in the Guaranteed Rural Housing Loan Program in Missouri, PrimeLending ranked in the top 5 in loans closed for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2016.*

"It is a privilege to be associated with outstanding assistance programs like the USDA Guaranteed Rural Housing Loan Program," said Brian Chick, Senior Vice President and Midwest Regional Manager for PrimeLending. "Helping families establish roots as homeowners is something we approach with great responsibility and working with homebuyers throughout the Midwest is an especially rewarding experience for us."
