Thanks December Borrowers!

Thank You December Borrowers!

Thank you to all of our borrowers who closed on their home loan in November! You’re amazing and spectacular! As a thank you, we are sending a donation to A Wider Circle. Simply put, their mission is to end poverty.

A Wider Circle’s holistic approach integrates on-the-ground services for the creation of stable homes, workforce development, and neighborhood revitalization. They also seek to develop large-scale solutions that incorporate greater awareness and engagement by the community.

Every month The Yi Team donates 1% to causes we care about, especially causes that help kids, health and those with home insecurities.

This holistic approach paves the way to financial self-sufficiency, walking alongside each individual and family they serve to work toward a common goal — ending poverty.

Our Mortgages Are On A Mission

Thanks again to our borrowers! Every home loan we close enables us to invest in charities who are working to create a positive change in the world.

Years ago when Chong Yi opened his branch, his goal was to help those in need in his community. Chong and his teammates developed Mortgage On A Mission so that they could not only help families achieve their dream of homeownership, but take some of those rewards and put it back into our global community.

Since then, The Yi Team has been able to donate over $100,000 to American Cancer Society, DIPG, Heartly House, Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Creciendo Juntos, Rainbow Place Shelter, Alzheimer’s Association, LovePaws and now A Wider Circle!

Stay tuned to our social media pages for upcoming events supporting A Wider Circle!

Kellie Hodges

Being denied for a mortgage can feel like the end of the road. For one family, it almost was. After renting for several years and watching their housing costs continue to rise, they were ready to purchase their first home. They had worked hard to prepare for homeownership and were excited to take the next…
