What We Do

The French Team offers financing for more than just a typical homebuyer. Every borrower and every property is a little different. That’s why we offer a wide range of financing options—from traditional home loans to construction, renovation, investment, and alternative lending programs. GET A QUOTE TODAY


FHA, VA, Conventional & USDA Loans

The major home loan programs, all in one place. We’ll help you compare your options and find the financing that makes the most sense for your purchase, budget, and long-term goals.


Down Payment Assistance

We’re registered with the Arkansas Development Finance Authority (ADFA) and can help eligible buyers explore available down payment and homebuyer assistance programs.


Construction & Renovation Loans

Building from the ground up or buying a home that needs work? We specialize in one-time-close construction loans and renovation financing designed to make the process more manageable from start to finish.


Non-QM & Alternative Financing

Not every borrower fits neatly into a traditional mortgage box. We offer a wide range of non-QM options, including bank statement loans, DSCR loans for real estate investors, ITIN financing, and other alternative lending solutions.


HELOCs & Home Equity Options

Want to put the equity in your home to work? We offer HELOC options for qualified homeowners, with some programs capable of funding in as little as five days.


Investor & Unique Loan Solutions

From investment properties to borrowers with nontraditional income, we have access to financing options that go well beyond the standard mortgage menu. If the loan is a little outside the box, that’s often where we can help most.
