Our Story
Neighborhood Loans, Inc. (NMLS #222982) is a direct national mortgage lender headquartered in Downers Grove, Illinois. The company was founded on a simple conviction: homebuyers deserve better than hidden fees, bait-and-switch rates, and loan officers paid to sell them the most expensive product.
As a direct lender, we control the entire process from application through underwriting to closing. There are no brokers between you and the lender adding markups, and no junk fees buried in disclosure. What you see on your Loan Estimate is what you pay.
South Texas Lending and STX Lending are trade names used by our San Antonio, TX branch (NMLS #2774284), serving the greater San Antonio area and the rest of Texas. The branch is led by Benjamin Gheliuc, Branch Manager (NMLS #1775990). Our local team combines Texas market knowledge with the lending capacity of a national company.
We offer 43+ loan programs, including conventional, VA, FHA, USDA, jumbo, and specialty options for self-employed borrowers, DSCR investor loans, and first-time buyers. See our state licenses and affiliated business arrangements.
What We Stand For
Every rate, every fee, and every option laid out before you sign. Our Loan Estimates are detailed, accurate, and locked.
Our loan officers are salaried advisors. Their only incentive is to find you the best loan, not the most expensive one.
1-day processing capability and streamlined workflows let us close in as few as 21 days. Most lenders take 45 to 60.
