About Craig Blanton
Senior Mortgage Loan Originator NMLS# 376491
I have 26 years of residential mortgage lending experience with a specialization in new home construction financing and resale home purchases. I am a member of the National Association of Home Builders and Tampa Bay Builders Association. I work directly with Affiliates of the Greater Tampa Association of Realtors and beyond.
As a Mortgage Loan Originator, I have closed over 2950 loans. I originate jumbo and conventional construction-to-permanent loans as well as construction end loans and purchase money loans.
I have an in-depth knowledge of residential mortgage underwriting guidelines and the intricate financing process. I take the time to thoroughly educate my clients on their options, explain in detail how the financing process works, set the appropriate expectations and successfully navigate them to a smooth closing. Feel free to reach out to me today.
Once we chose our builder, Craig was amazing in making the process easy.
My wife and I contacted Craig when we decided to build a home in May of 2015. Our selection of a builder took almost a year but Craig maintained constant contact with us updating us on rates, programs, etc. the entire time. Once we chose our builder, Craig was amazing in making the process easy. Always took our calls, emailed us back immediately, extremely knowledgeable and was just really down to earth. I would 100% recommend Craig to anyone thinking about building a home. Thank Craig.

The entire process was quick and efficient without any hang-ups.
Absolutely best experience I could hope for in securing a construction to perm. loan. The entire process was quick and efficient without any hang-ups. I was given Craig's contact from one of my friends who was building a house and have recommended him to two more people who are doing the same.

As a senior, the last thing I imagined doing was building a new house which required a construction roll-over loan. I was referred to Craig Blanton. Having gone through a nightmare re-fi a few years back with a major lending firm, that experience left me leery. I can say emphatically that my experience with Craig restored in me that there are still people that understand the concept of excellent customer service. He was patient with my questions even offering alternatives that I was not aware of. The process was so easy, efficient and he was absolutely responsible for making the process a breeze. I would without hesitation recommend him and his credit union to anyone looking for a mortgage.
