Founded in 1998, New South Mortgage is a mortgage broker that offers a wide selection of loan packages with competitive rates and fees. By assuming the overhead costs of those lenders the company is often able to provide lower rates.

The company has five offices conveniently located across the Lowcountry, including four in the Charleston area and one in Beaufort. Online applications, loan options and more services are available on their website.

If you need money to finance your agricultural or timber operation, purchase new equipment, or if you're a full-time farmer and just need a little extra spending money, AgSouth can put together a loan package tailored to meet your special needs.

They make home loans and finance real estate for non-farmers. Loans for agriculture, real estate, operating needs, crop production, livestock, timber, equipment, harvesting and more programs are also available.
