Great Western Financial opened in Plano, Texas in 1982. Since then, it has spread across the country and became a leader in the mortgage banking industry. It specializes in second mortgage financing, though it is a full service mortgage broker. It offers fixed rate first liens as well as cash out first liens. Lien rates vary by region, and rate sheets are available in this office off Magnolia Boulevard in North Hollywood. It currently does not offer purchase or refinancing of second liens, but intends to offer it soon.
