A small team that picks up the phone.
We are a mortgage broker in Raleigh, North Carolina. Four people, over 30 lenders, and one promise: every number explained before you sign.
Maya Brooks started Porchlight in 2014 after ten years at a large bank, where she watched first-time buyers sign papers nobody had explained to them.
Today four of us help about 300 families a year buy or refinance a home across the Triangle. We are not tied to one bank, so we can shop every loan and switch lenders when a better offer appears.
How we work.
One person, start to finish
Your loan officer handles your file from the first call to closing, and you get their cell number.
Every number explained
We go through your Loan Estimate line by line, and again with the Closing Disclosure before you sign.
Over 30 lenders
We are not tied to one bank, so we compare offers for every loan and tell you why we recommend one.
People who pick up the phone.
Four of us, all in Raleigh. One loan officer stays with you from the first call to closing day, and you get their cell number.
Start with a free pre-approval.
It takes about 15 minutes online, and a loan officer calls you back the same business day.
