DALLAS (March 09, 2015) – National residential mortgage lender PrimeLending, a PlainsCapital Company and subsidiary of Hilltop Holdings Inc.

On March 14 and March 21, the show will feature a husband and wife who are renting an apartment but want to buy a home of their own – but they are intimidated by the mortgage application process. However, then the show’s host, Alexi Panos, sits down with PrimeLending’s Bristol to discuss the challenges faced by first-time homebuyers.

“Too many first-time homebuyers are intimidated by the home loan application process,” Bristol says. “That’s why we at PrimeLending pride ourselves on our ability to offer personalized guidance and straightforward answers to homebuyers, giving them peace of mind and confidence in their decision to buy or refinance a home.”
