Local roots, proven process. Your mountain mortgage expert.

Cabin dreams, simplified.

Fund your mountain goals.

My family’s ties to the North Georgia mountains go back five generations, which means my understanding of this local market is quite literally in my blood. For nearly 20 years, I’ve been immersed in the banking industry, learning the business from the inside out. I began my career as a bank teller and climbed the ranks to become a Senior Loan Officer at Epic Mortgage. Now, I leverage that national-level industry expertise alongside my homegrown roots to give you a smooth, confident path to closing and my ultimate goal is to provide a streamlined, transparent, and trusted loan process from start to finish.”

Finding the perfect home requires finding the perfect mortgage. We offer a comprehensive suite of loan products designed to fit your unique financial situation including but not limited to: Conventional, Jumbo, FHA, USDA, VA, and non-QM (or non conventional) specialty and niche programs.


DSCR Loans

The secret to unlocking STR or long term rental investment property ownership and growing your real estate portfolio isn’t about how much personal income you show on paper—it’s about the rental income of the property itself. That’s where a DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loan changes the game. Instead of verifying personal income, W2s, or tax returns, you qualify based on whether the property’s rental income covers the monthly mortgage (PITI).

Heather is great to work with, very professional and stayed in constant communication with us throughout our loan process from start to finish. She is very knowledgeable and helped us find additional options for us to consider to help us reduce costs in our financing.

Heather was wonderful at helping me to refinance my home for a much lower monthly payment. She definitely helped me more than the bank that I was previously at. Heather explained everything very thoroughly and offered solutions to any problems that arose instead of just saying there was a problem and expecting me to know how to solve it. I recommend her to anyone looking to get a mortgage!

Heather Hedden has been a WONDERFUL lending agent for us….two different times!! She went above and beyond the norm to secure us a new loan while we still had a current home loan! I truly believe it is completely her hard work, dedication and the investment of extra time which helped us to secure a loan while having another one. She wrote letters of support to her lenders and made contacts and phone calls…what an amazing agent. If you are needing any type of loan and you may have challenges, she is your go to person! Thank you Heather!!
