BlueStar Mortgage Company Partners with CU Lending, Inc. to Expand Members' Borrowing Choices

Birmingham, AL - BlueStar Mortgage Company announces a partnership with CU Lending, a mortgage provider solely for credit unions, to provide expanded borrowing options for credit union members, including sub-prime mortgages and construction loans. BlueStar Mortgage is Alabama's leading independent mortgage brokerage firm; and together with CU Lending, will offer credit unions and their members much needed competitive mortgage products while while providing them with a level of service excellence they expect and deserve.

Now, more than ever, credit union members need additional borrowing choices. More and more members do not fit the strict secondary-market lending criteria. CU Lending Vice President, Gary M.

BlueStar Mortgage has access to a variety of lender-sources and offers a portfolio of products to accommodate the majority of our members."

According to BlueStar Mortgage founder, John Bruzzese, "BlueStar Mortgage is committed to staying on top of the ever-changing real estate market and its emerging opportunities. The partnership with CU Lending will give us access to credit unions, allowing us to provide real options for real people, their credit unions members." BlueStar Mortgage works with as many as 80 lending providers to find the best match for each applicant. Wolter adds, "Credit Unions should continue to expect the same great service they are accustomed to receiving from CU Lending and BlueStar Mortgage.
