A new mortgage office that focuses on veteran assistance lending has opened in Bartonville.

The new office does loan services of all types but more than 95% of the business consists of veteran assistance loans, Jason Stier, director of VA lending with the company, said in an email.

"We are a branch that exists to advocate and educate the real estate industry as well as veterans, military and their families about the VA home loan benefit,” Stier said.
