Family-Owned Mortgage Company
A mortgage company built and operated by a family rather than a national call center or corporate chain. Family-owned companies are typically rooted in their local community, prioritize long-term relationships over transaction volume, and operate with personal accountability.
Acadiana Mortgage, co-founded in 1998 by Kara Lowrie and her husband, Michael "Duke" Lowrie, is a proud family-owned mortgage company serving Louisiana families.
When you work with a family-owned company, your loan officer is not rotating off your file after the application. The same person who took your call on day one is the same person guiding you through closing — and the same person you can call five years later when you have questions about refinancing.
Why This Matters: In a world of national call centers and online lenders, a family-owned mortgage company provides personal accountability and local expertise that a 1-800 number simply cannot.
