“Whether you're building your first home or your forever home, if you have a dream ..."

In the realm of home financing, few endeavors are as intricate as constructing a new residence. However, when it comes to construction home lending, Gulf Coast Bank & Trust’s expertise shines through, offering borrowers a professional and supportive experience from start to finish. Whether it’s a firsttime homebuyer or an experienced real estate investor, Gulf Coast Bank & Trust offers borrowers various options, including construction-to-permanent loans, single-closing construction loans, and more.

One of the key factors that sets Gulf Coast Bank & Trust apart is its leadership. Bankers are encouraged to do the right thing for the customer, every time, all the time. Hart Bordelon and his dedicated and knowledgeable team have earned a reputation for helping to find financial solutions for their customers. “Our team is well equipped to guide

clients through every stage of the process. From navigating complex paperwork to providing valuable insights into local market trends, our personalized support ensures that borrowers feel confident and informed every step of the way,” said Bordelon.

"Construction projects can be complex, unpredictable, and often face unexpected challenges. We work with our clients to do our best to mitigate these challenges. We understand the importance of communication, trust, and collaboration to ensure successful loan disbursement and construction completion,” Bordelon explained.

Certified Mortgage Advisors Amanda Germany and Hillory Hracek are the center of Gulf Coast Bank & Trust’s construction lending team in Hammond. “They are responsive, accessible, and proactive in addressing borrowers' concerns and providing guidance throughout the entire construction process,” said Bordelon.

Gulf Coast Bank & Trust prioritizes flexibility, recognizing that every borrower’s situation is unique. "We understand that the same mortgage structure will not fit every client,” said Hrcek. "We're passionate about making the dream of building your own home a reality, even for those who may think it's out of reach. Often, people are unsure where to begin, and that's where our expertise comes in. We're dedicated to educating and informing clients. Together, we navigate the process smoothly," shared Germany.

“We are the proud 2024 winner of the Tangi Lifestyle Readers Choice for best bank, best banker, and best mortgage lender. One reason for receiving this honor is that our team is committed to the community, supporting great nonprofits that help to make Hammond a better place to work and live. Our annual Auctions in August fundraiser has raised nearly 1.5 million dollars for hundreds of nonprofits since its inception in 2008. Our employees wearing their ‘We believe in our community’ orange shirts can be seen volunteering at school fairs, local festivals, and other fundraisers throughout the Hammond area,” Bordelon proudly said.
