Homestead has been in business since 1998. Managing Partners Jayson Hardie, Greg Aftayev, and Andros Ioakimides oversee the day-to-day operations. Well-known as the trusted lender in the Midwest for decades, we’ve expanded to additional states. 

Over the years, we've built a solid reputation. With perseverance and hard work, our company survived market downturns that other lenders couldn't. 

Starting as a sub-prime, media lead-based mortgage broker, we have evolved to a fully delegated mortgage banker with a consistent flow of leads from media and referral-based relationships. 
 
It's our goal to add value to our loan officers, staff, clients, Realtors, and business partners. Our mission statement is: "Making lives better, one home at a time."
