Patricia Boyce, one of Vermont Federal Credit Union’s Mortgage Originators, was ranked first among all participating Mortgage Originators.
Mark Antell, Assistant Vice President of Mortgage Origination, stated, “Our Mortgage Originators continually review the mortgage products we have to offer and make recommendations to member-owners as to what is in their best interest.” He added, “We offer VHFA products as they can frequently be the most beneficial product for our members, offering qualified buyers below market interest rates and money towards their down payment or closing costs,” referencing VHFA’s MOVE and ASSIST Programs.
