Personal. Local. Trusted.
WCCU Mortgage offers options so accessible they make the dream of a home your reality.
Whether you are considering buying a new home or refinancing your current home, Wexford Community Credit Union has a mortgage to suit your needs.
Getting Started
When you are ready to start considering your options, your Mortgage Specialist will be there to support you every step of the way. From the start, you will interact with the credit union staff you have come to know and trust; never having to deal with call center representatives. All of our mortgages are locally serviced in Cadillac and Lake City, never outsourced.
Because we are a not-for-profit financial institution, our WCCU Mortgage Specialists serve our members as educators, not salespeople. We put our member’s home buying needs first.
Pre-approval is a good place to start. Our pre-approval process will help to determine a reliable budget estimate and will generate a document that will be specific and accurate, providing all of the information your realtor will need to assist you in the buying process. And don’t worry; if at first you do not qualify, we’ll help you build a roadmap to home-ownership through education, problem solving, and support.
As exciting as home buying can be, we also understand that it can be a bit overwhelming at times. In order to make the process as simple and stress-free as possible, we employ a team approach to ensure our members have a terrific home buying experience. Our Mortgage Specialists take the time to communicate proactively with realtors and title companies, to keep the homebuyer informed throughout the process; no more guessing about the status of the mortgage process.

Benefits of Refinancing
- Potentially Lower Your Monthly Payments — Your current financial profile will determine the percentage rate, loan term, and monthly payment for which you qualify. Depending of the term of your current loan, available loan rates, and improvements to your credit score, it may be possible to lower your monthly payment through refinancing.
- Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) — Review your current rate. Sometimes an Adjustable Rate Mortgage is your best bet. Or, if the rate of your current ARM is on the rise, talk to our Mortgage Specialists about the options for converting to a fixed-rate loan.
- Pay Off Your Mortgage Sooner — Refinancing to a 15-year mortgage, as opposed to a 30-year mortgage, will allow you to pay down your balance faster. As an additional benefit, the interest rate offered on a 15-year mortgage is often lower than the traditional 30-year loan.
- Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) — Private mortgage Insurance is required when your home’s equity is below 20%. If your home’s equity has exceeded 20%, you may be able to eliminate PMI.
If you have built equity in your home, you may want to consider borrowing against your equity to help with expenses such as home improvements, debt consolidation, college tuition, medical bills, or even a dream vacation. Funds from your home equity loan can be used for any purpose you desire, with the added benefits of tax-deductible interest and often lower interest rates than other financing options.
