Member Spotlight: Louisiana Home Lending

by | Aug 4, 2020 | Members

1. Give us a brief history of your company.

Louisiana Home Lending was started in late 2017 with the mission to provide simple, easy, and smart home financing at the best value possible. We’ve grown quickly since then to 10 employees licensed in two states. (LA & TX).

2. What would you tell the rest of Acadiana makes you special?

What makes Louisiana Home Lending special is our unwavering commitment to our clients and referral partners. The mortgage industry has been plagued with providers that don’t provide prompt service, personal interaction or give back to the community they are helping to build. We built our business to be the solution to all of these problems. We have created and optimized our systems and work-flow to create and increase efficiency in the loan process, placed a higher value on communication above all else and mandated that community betterment be a cornerstone of our culture. We don’t talk about being a better company. We demand it.

3. What are you most proud of?

We’re most proud of our employees for their perseverance through the rapidly changing market conditions that COVID-19 has brought upon all of us. We’re, above all else, a team that has a common goal – that is to create and foster joy through home ownership.

4. Where do you see your business in 10 years? What are your plans for the future?

In 10 years, we see ourselves licensed in a few more states and continuing to refine our systems to better serve our clients and referral partners. We see ourselves continuing to give back to the communities that gave us so much.

5. 1A is “Focused on Forward” – meaning we are taking an active role of improving the community we live in. Our members are Focused on Forward, too! – What does Focused on Forward mean to you? How is your company Focused on Forward?

Focused on Forward, for us, means cultivating entrepreneurship at a grass roots level and propagating small businesses in the communities around us. They’re the lifeblood of our economy. This is even more of a social necessity in the post pandemic world to come. Our companies’ commitment to being Focused on Forward means involvement in local area charities, involvement in the arts through Acadiana Center for the Arts, and continuous involvement in youth programs that help to foster young entrepreneurs.
