Home Financing Center: Founded on Trust
Founded in 1984, Home Financing Center was the vision of Terry W. Claus, who worked side by side with his wife Bunny for many years. Together, they built a family-owned mortgage company in Coral Gables with deep roots in the community and an unwavering commitment to serving their clients.
Today, Home Financing Center continues the Claus’ far-sighted vision by providing you with the best home buying experience possible. Even through the ups and downs of the nation’s real estate cycle, Home Financing Center has continued to grow its share in the market. To date, the company has closed more than $4 billion in mortgages.

Project Success Rate
When working with Home Financing Center, you can always count on our responsible home loan lending polices, designed to ensure that each customer receives an appropriate mortgage product. Our network is closely tied to federal housing and mortgage agencies, including FHA, VA and Fannie Mae, which allows us to respond more quickly to applicants and accelerate transactions. Our Preferred Lending Status with Fannie Mae also helps ensure you receive the best rates in the marketplace.
Home Financing Center also services most of our mortgage loans, offering an added convenience to you. This means you’ll always have the option of speaking to one of our local home loan representatives regarding your loan, without ever having to contact an out-of-state call center.
As one of the largest independently owned and operated mortgage lender in South Florida, Home Financing Center is big enough to meet your mortgage needs —yet small enough to deliver friendly, personalized service.
