Increased State Coverage

Lenox Financial Mortgage Corporation DBA WesLend Financial is licensed to lend in 32 states, an increase of 25 states covered by Lenox Financial itself.

Variety of Loan Types

WesLend Financial offers a variety of loan options:

  • Fixed-rate loan
  • Adjustable-rate mortgage loan (ARM)
  • FHA Loan
  • VA Loan
  • USDA Loan
  • Jumbo Loan

To choose which loan type will best fit your needs, a WesLend mortgage professional will work with you and your finances.

Low Mortgage Rates

WesLend provides updated rates on its website. Mortgage rates change frequently, if not daily, based on the market. But, WesLend consistently offers lower rates than you might see with other online mortgage lenders.

However, WesLend’s lowest advertised rate will typically only be available to those with excellent credit, a strong credit history, and the ability to pay at least 20 percent down on their loan. The lowest rate can’t be guaranteed.

No Closing Cost Home Loans

WesLend offers a "no closing cost home loan" option, allowing you to skip the closing costs on your mortgage — a unique practice in the mortgage industry. However, the no closing cost options are not available in Washington.

Approval for this loan product is not guaranteed. To determine whether or not you are eligible for this loan product, you will need to get a quote, which can be completed quickly on either the Lenox Financial Mortgage Corporation or WesLend Financial website.

Home Loan Assistance Available

If your financial circumstances change during the life of your loan, you can assess different home loan assistance options with a WesLend representative. Certain information and documentation is required, and it is your responsibility to contact the company if you foresee or experience any changes in your ability to make your monthly payment.

Helpful Mortgage Calculators

WesLend provides three helpful mortgage calculators to assist you in preparing for your home purchase or refinance:

  • Home affordability calculator
  • Mortgage qualification calculator
  • Mortgage payment calculator

The Bad

  • Higher Minimum Down Payment for Conventional Loans

Higher Minimum Down Payment for Conventional Loans

For its conventional loan products, WesLend requires a five percent down payment. Many other lenders require a three percent minimum down payment.

However, WesLend does have three percent down payment options for eligible first-time homebuyers.

The Bottom Line

WesLend Financial, an affiliate of Lenox Financial Mortgage Corporation, services a wide range of states across the nation and offers traditional loan types with competitively low mortgage rates.

  • A straightforward and fast mortgage process
  • Excellent customer service, often mentioning specific loan officers by name
  • Lower rates than competitors

Matt H Indianapolis, IN

Teresa was great to work with and responded quickly to any questions or issues I had. I did a cash out refinance and the whole process was closed and funded in five weeks. The longest delay was from the appraiser and not Weslend. The appraisal process took almost 2 weeks so if you do not require an appraisal I imagine you could get your refinance done really quickly.

I liked my mortgage adviser, Blythe C the most. No other adviser anywhere ever responded or tried as hard as she did to earn my business and my TRUST. And I made a great decision trusting her because here I am with a great loan and a great home and the process was seamless, stress-free, and I always felt secure that she was being earnest and upfront throughout the various checkpoints along the way.

The process with Weslend was trying at times but Cynthia A was helpful. We were in contact almost daily either by email or phone. Cynthia was great. She was very patient and made sure to explain the process and to help us with the underwriters. Highly recommend her

Working with Blythe C. She took a bumpy trail and turned it into a four lane expressway. She was a tireless, positive, professional, intelligent agent who solved problems before they appeared. She made the difference.
