Hurst Lending & Insurance was founded in 2006 as a full-service mortgage lender. The founders of Moneysafe, now Hurst Lending, knew that by keeping overhead low, they could offer some of the lowest rates in the business. In addition to low-rate conventional loans, founders Jay Hurst and Scott Bialek focused their attention on the many lending "gaps" they saw in the market - mortgage lending needs that could be met by specialized investors, but weren't being served by big banks. Examples included:
- Low down-payment jumbo loans
- Residential bridge loans
- Low down payment construction loans
- Loans with no PMI
- Non-Warrantable condo loans
- Loans for returning expats
- Loans for self-employed buyers
By matching these needs with investors with related risk appetites, the company has grown to serve more than 350 families per year with mortgage loans and refinances. In addition to these specialized loans, the company added an insurance brokerage in 2013. At that time, the company was re-named Hurst Lending & Insurance to better communicate the services it offered to its customers. Hurst Lending & Insurance boasts rave reviews from its customers, and fully 70% of clients are repeat or referred customers. Hurst Lending & Insurance serves cities throughout Texas, including:
