Private Mortgage Solutions can be found online and in the bank’s expanded footprint in Building Three, Piedmont Center.

Smith said that Private Mortgage Solutions, a division of the bank, offers a full range of mortgage products, including: purchase, refinance, investment, jumbo products, second home, construction, multiple collateral, fixed second, home equity and lot loan.
