First Heritage Mortgage Opens New Branch in Hampton Roads, Virginia
HAMPTON ROADS, VA. – First Heritage Mortgage, LLC (FHM), has opened a new branch to serve the Hampton Roads market. The branch is located at 720 Thimble Shoals Blvd, Suite 115, Newport News, VA 23606.
The Hampton Roads office will be led by Sales Manager Clavis Smith (NMLS ID #195226). Clavis and his team are excited to bring the First Heritage brand of service to a market that is rooted in community and growth. With team members who are local to the Peninsula region and bring backgrounds in construction, coaching, and deep community ties, they are well-positioned to build trust, credibility, and momentum from day one.
The new branch is expected to grow rapidly by the end of the year. Our Hampton Roads branch will further strengthen FHM’s ability to support the Southern Virginia region and contribute to First Heritage Mortgage’s long-term growth strategy.
“The Peninsula is a market that values relationships, and that’s exactly how we operate. We’re not here to just open an office. We are here to build something meaningful,” said Smith. “With the right people, the right business partners, and the ability to deliver solutions across the entire lending spectrum, we’re ready to make a real impact for homebuyers and the great real estate professionals who serve them.”
The expansion into Hampton Roads represents a strategic move for First Heritage Mortgage as it continues to grow its presence in key markets across Virginia. With one of the largest populations in Virginia, the Peninsula region plays a vital role in the housing landscape with a diverse borrower base that includes active-duty military and veterans.
“Opening our Hampton Roads branch is an exciting milestone for First Heritage Mortgage and a reflection of our continued commitment to expanding access to exceptional mortgage services throughout Southern Virginia,” said FHM President Steven Lagana. “This region is home to a vibrant and growing community, and we are eager to bring our personalized approach and innovative solutions to the homebuyers and partners here. We look forward to making a lasting impact in Hampton Roads for years to come.”
The Hampton Roads branch will bring the full suite of First Heritage Mortgage loan products to the Hampton Roads market, including Conventional, Government, and Jumbo loans to more specialized products, like construction, bridge, portfolio, non-QM options, state bond, and down payment assistance programs.
“We have a team that understands the Peninsula, its neighborhoods, the people, and how business gets done here. When you pair that with a company that can execute a full spectrum of residential lending products and services, we can serve our clients at a very high level.” Smith added. “Whether a first-time homebuyer, a military family relocating, or a move-up buyer looking at new construction communities like Quarter Creek, Celestial Way, River Highlands, or Mallory Point, we have the tools and the talent to get the job done.”
