Before shopping for a new home, you may contact a Southern Bank Loan Officer to initiate a “prequalification” request.  A prequalification letter may be provided to a realtor and will give you an idea of the price range of homes for which you may qualify.

Our Loan Officers are here to listen to your specific needs and answer any and all questions you may have. Contact your local branch and ask to speak with a Loan Officer.
