No Upfront Mortgage Insurance Fee.

Unlike government loans, An Alaska conventional loan has no upfront mortgage insurance fee. More of your money goes toward your home from day one.

PMI That Goes Away.

Real people. Real challenges. Real mortgage success.

We'd bought our first home with FHA and wanted to go conventional this time around. David at Oxford got us into our Bethel home with a better rate, better terms, and no mortgage insurance. The upgrade in both house and loan felt like a real milestone.

Outgrew our starter home and needed more space. Kyle at Oxford handled the conventional purchase on our new Palmer place while we navigated selling the old one. Timing was tight and Kyle made sure the lending side never caused a delay. Upgraded our home and our lender.

Second home purchase and this time we used Ian at Oxford for a conventional loan in Kodiak. Night and day compared to our first experience with another lender. Ian was proactive, transparent, and the closing was seamless. Already told friends to call Oxford.

We did everything the financial advisors say to do. Saved diligently, built credit, avoided new debt. Temitayo at Oxford turned that preparation into a conventional purchase in Kenai with a rate that made it all worthwhile. Temitayo appreciated where we were financially and delivered accordingly.

Took us two years to save for a conventional down payment. Craig at Oxford made sure those two years paid off on our Wasilla purchase. Solid rate, no unnecessary fees, and a monthly payment that works perfectly with our budget. Craig honored our effort with excellent service.

A mortgage broker quoted us one rate. Charles at Oxford quoted a better one on the conventional loan for our Sitka home. Lower fees too. Went with Oxford and haven't looked back. Charles was more responsive and more transparent than the broker ever was.

First time buyer but we came prepared. Had our down payment saved and credit in good shape. Ryan at Oxford matched our preparation with an efficient conventional purchase in Ketchikan. Great rate, clear process, and we felt like Ryan respected the work we'd put in to get here.

Got pre approved with our bank first. Then called Hahna at Oxford for comparison. The conventional rate Oxford offered for Juneau was noticeably better. Switched without hesitation and closed on time. Sometimes shopping around pays off in a big way.

We shopped three lenders for our Fairbanks purchase. Shawn at Oxford beat both other quotes on a conventional loan. Better rate, lower fees, and the communication was in a different league. Choosing Oxford was the easiest decision in the entire home buying process.

Our credit scores were both over 760 and Abigail at Oxford put that to work on our Anchorage purchase. Conventional loan, top tier rate, and the payment is lower than what we expected going in. Abigail knew exactly how to position our application for the best possible outcome.
