Experienced
Sweetwater Mortgage Company was founded January 1, 1994 by Jim Norris. Jim has been around the mortgage industry for most of his life. His father, the late Don Norris, was founder and President of Commonwealth Savings and Commonwealth Mortgage during the 1970 and 80’s. Since 1993, Sweetwater Mortgage Company has tirelessly served the Texas real estate community earning an excellent reputation for great rates and closing costs, diverse loan programs, personal customer service, integrity, and “cutting-edge” technology.
In 1992, Don Norris founded Texas Homeplace Mortgage Company which was headquartered in New Braunfels, Texas. Texas Homeplace enjoyed much success and developed an outstanding reputation for customer service, integrity, and excellence as it served the mortgage needs in small towns across Texas such as New Braunfels, Brenham, and others. Today, Sweetwater is carrying on the tradition that Don Norris started by establishing Texas Homeplace Mortgage Company as our “small town” mortgage division. The first branch of Texas Homeplace opened August 2010 in Brenham, Texas.
