Your home is more than just a place to live. It’s a part of our community, and a cornerstone of the life you’ve built here. When it’s time to turn your home’s value into something more, it’s important to choose a financial partner who understands the unique needs of our local area.
By choosing a home equity loan from a community-focused bank, you’re not just investing in your future. You’re also investing in the future of our community. Local employees provide timely, personalized service, with a deep understanding of what matters most to our neighbors.
“Many people are surprised to learn how flexible a home equity loan can be,” said Peter Haugen, consumer lending officer for First Western Bank & Trust. “Our home equity product makes an excellent bridge loan for real estate transactions, and can cover down payments on second homes, vacation homes, and new primary residences. Our clients may also designate those funds toward important milestones, such as their child’s college acceptance or a once-in-a-lifetime family vacation.
“First Western Bank & Trust occupies a special middle ground in the banking world. We have opened 19 branches throughout Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota since our foundation in Minot 60 years ago. We earned all the credentials of a major lending institution during that time, but also haven’t lost the small bank touch we owe our success to. I personally meet with each of our clients to discuss their plans. If they have additional questions after our meeting, then I’ll make myself immediately available to answer them. And because we do all of our decision making right here in Eden Prairie, I can usually approve a loan within one business day of receiving the application – and close around two weeks afterward.”
