About Us

A local lender, built for local families.

We're a correspondent lender based right here in Tennessee — funding loans with our own capital and giving our clients a local team from application to closing.

Correspondent lender

We fund your loan with our own capital.

Because we underwrite in-house instead of brokering out to a separate bank, our decisions happen faster and we can offer programs — including Non-QM, DSCR, ITIN, and Bank Statement loans — that many traditional lenders can't.

Since 2011

Built for Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia & Florida homebuyers.

We've grown from a single office to 7 branches and 41 loan officers, but the goal hasn't changed: give every family a local team that actually knows their market.

What Sets Us Apart

Why families choose FCLS.

Local, not corporate

Every branch is staffed by loan officers who live and work in the communities they serve — not a call center.

Fast, in-house decisions

As a correspondent lender, we underwrite our own loans — no waiting on a separate institution to sign off.

A program for real life

From first-time buyers to self-employed borrowers and investors, we have real options for situations traditional banks turn away.
