Commercial Lending

At United Heritage, we strive to make the loan process for commercial real estate acquisitions, refinances or expansions easy and convenient. We have an experienced team capable of assessing various property types and delivering prompt service. As a local institution with roots going back to 1957, we don’t send your loan request to an anonymous credit committee in another city or state. All decisions are made locally by knowledgeable staff that are familiar with and have insights into the Central Texas markets. So, whether you’re interested in multifamily, retail, office, medical or industrial property as an owner or investor, give us a call and let us work on a quote today. You’ll be glad you did.
