A Company for Traditional and Outside-the-Box Borrowers

We started Co/LAB Lending six years ago on the conviction that everyone deserves to own a home and that getting a mortgage should be hassle-free. That goes for borrowers who need traditional products and for people whose situations don’t fit neatly into the standard-loan box. 

The playing field should be even, and by founding Co/LAB Lending, we set out to even it. Today we’ve closed over $500 million in loans and served over 3000 happy home buyers.

The Part About “Hassle-Free”

The loan application process should not be like an Olympic hurdles event or a search for the Holy Grail. No one has the bandwidth for that. 

From the beginning, we were determined to make it simple and easy for people to get a mortgage, whether our borrowers were first-time home buyers or refinancing their fourth investment property. That was important to us on Day One and it’s important to us today.

What others say about us…

All of their staff has been extremely kind and helpful! They made this process so easy! Austin took so much time with us to explain all of our options and routes that we could take with a loan and got us the absolute best option! We would never have been able to figure that out on our own or with a bank! Would absolutely recommend to anyone!

Nate Cobler & Andres Munar Well done and thank you SO very much! My situation and a tight timeline was tricky and you met the deadline with plenty of time to spare. That truly speaks to how well your office is run and the caliber of specialists who handled the processing of my entire loan!

Our experience with Co/LAB Lending was phenomenal! Uploading documents was extremely easy, and when we had questions, we were able to call someone and speak to someone almost immediately. They were also very professional and quick to reply to emails. Christian Hardman and Opie Hughes had us closed in no time. I would recommend them to anyone!

Andre and Nate were both holding my hand the entire way. When I had questions or concerns, Nate would talk me through each step. This was through email and by phone. They made buying a house easier than I have heard from others. Now I am ready for my next adventure with their help! Thanks Keystone Alliance!
