From the Panhandle to the Gulf Coast, we help Texans get home.
Redbud Mortgage was founded in 2025 by three experienced lenders who were tired of the big bank bullcorn. In a world of anonymous online mortgages, we offer our customers a trusted local lender they can rely on for great rates and clear, practical advice. With more than 65 years of combined experience, Mark, Adam, and Rob have one mission – helping their customers become satisfied homeowners.
