Supporting ‘Their Whole Selves’ For Capital Mortgage, it’s Pride Year, not just Pride Week

Capital hosts buyer seminars monthly within surrounding communities promoting inclusion for all. These seminars educate all attendees on the best path to homeownership, regardless of background.

Capital Mortgage Funding and Alley design a new Pride line every year that promotes those in the LGBTQ+ communities.

Ricketts says Capital Mortgage Funding markets a full shop of diversity and inclusion along with Pride promotional items to promote awareness. Special employee resource groups have been formed and are actively promoted. Capital Mortgage Funding raises awareness during local Pride festivals and events while raising money for charities.

Since its inception in the spring of 1992, Capital has thrived off its relationship-driven process. Co-founders, Harry Glanz and Dan Burke built the business with a common goal: to help families all across Michigan achieve their dreams of homeownership. Since then, Capital has helped thousands of families across the country finance their homes.

As one of the largest residential mortgage companies in southeast Michigan, Capital finds responsibility in making sure that all clients it meets to purchase or refinance have the proper tools and support to get them to the finish line, Ricketts says. Communication is key in each transaction, and treating clients like family creates a lasting connection, she says.

“We feel that every day is Pride, and no one should hide who they are or who they love,” Ricketts says. “We take steps every day alongside Becky to show everyone and anyone, they do not need to hide in plain sight because LOVE IS LOVE. We are relationshipdriven and here to walk shoulder to shoulder with the LGBTQ+ community.” 
