A broker, not a bank.
A bank checks your file against its own guidelines and gives you one answer. We take the same file to several lenders, and they do not share guidelines. The same paperwork gets very different answers.
-
Many lenders, one phone number
A direct line to your broker, evenings and weekends included.
-
Straight answers on cost
What you pay, what it buys you, and where the tradeoffs are.
-
Built for complicated files
Self-employed, thin credit, VA benefit, rural property, investment income.
Meet the founder
A better mortgage experience starts with the right loan officer.
I'm Colin Whitermore, founder of Carolinas Capital Lending. With more than 15 years in the mortgage industry, I help buyers and homeowners compare loan options from multiple lenders and find financing that fits their goals, without the runaround.
Find the program that fits.
Which loan is right depends on your situation, not on what a bank happens to be selling this month. Here is what each one is for.
How it works.
Four stages between the first conversation and closing day, and you always know which one you are in.
-
A real conversation
Fifteen minutes, no credit pull, no forms. We work out what you are trying to do.
-
Options side by side
Your file goes to several lenders. You see what each will offer, with the tradeoffs explained plainly.
-
Pre-approval
Income, assets and credit verified properly, the kind a listing agent takes seriously.
-
Closing day
Clear updates the whole way, so nothing at the table is a surprise.

Colin was very helpful throughout the entire process and beyond. I would definitely recommend Carolinas Capital Lending for your mortgage needs.
Colin was really great to deal with and the process went very smoothly! Would highly recommend!
Read the full reviewI highly recommend Colin from Carolina Capital Lending! He is extremely helpful, knowledgeable and explains the mortgage process and types of financing options clearly! Colin is the type of mortgage broker that is crucial to have, especially during crazy economic times. His website makes applying very seamless. He was super responsive and on top of everything! We are very lucky that we found him because he was also able to get us a MUCH better rate than the builder’s lender and into a monthly payment we were comfortable with. He went above and beyond, even doing a zoom call with my wife and I late at night so we could understand the options. After finding Carolina’s Capital Lending 3 weeks prior to close, Colin worked with us to get a better loan and was able to get us cleared to close within 2 weeks which is super fast! Overall, it was a seamless process working with Colin. He will find you the absolute best rate and make sure you are taken care of.
Read the full reviewColin helped me with a refinance around a month ago and not only did he get me a great rate but he's very easy to work with and super communicative. He is transparent and helps you close fast. I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again.

Read the full reviewColin handled my refi in Jan 2026. I have to say this was the smoothest refi I have done in my lifetime. Very effecient and requested all documents at once. There was no I need this, now I need that. VERY refreshing and I have completed a lot of purchases and refi's in my time. I 100% recommend Colin
Read the full reviewColin was great to work with and had some of the best rates I found. He was excellent at responding quickly and was open to calls, emails, or text which made communication quick and easy. The whole process was seamless and we closed last week without a hick-up. The small issue we encountered was pivoted quickly to not miss a step in moving things along. Definitely a great solution for purchasing. And will certainly look to Colin in the future if rates drop and a refi is necessary.
Colin was very easy to work with and answered questions right away! Got our refinance done very fast!
Read the full reviewColin did my home mortgage and he was very helpful all the way guiding me completely through the process and answering each and every question very patiently. He was very professional and coordinated with all the parties and ensured everything was completed on time very smoothly. I would highly recommend to anyone looking out for a home mortgage. Thanks!
Had a pleasant and great experience working with Colin. He took care of the entire process end to end and made sure that everything went smooth.
Read the full reviewColin worked VERY diligently (for three years) to help get us to a closing table!!! I could reach out to him anytime, and he was right there every time! He was able to get us an excellent rate, and we can’t thank him enough!
Colin is very responsive and easy to work with! Highly recommend
Read the full reviewWe had a great experience with Colin. He was very transparent and communicative, really kind of held our hand through everything. I felt that he answered questions honestly, not just saying what he thought would get him business. And rates were competitive with the best I found elsewhere, which is obviously pretty important. Overall would definitely recommend!
Read the full reviewI searched for a company that could assist me with a refinance for my home. As I searched I had the same issue with everyone they were not completely willingly to help,they were not transparent with all details and one company actually lied to me about purchasing points to close the loan. I was fortunate by God's guidance to find Mr. Colin Whitermore Owner of Carolinas Capital Lending and was completely satisfied with Colin. Nothing was a secret he was transparent with my loan and made me feel comfortable and that he cared about helping me lower my interest rate and reducing years on the loan. Colin and I started as strangers but as we finished the loan process ended with a new friendship. If you are in need of a loan officer to help you reduce your interest rate,receive cash out or lower your loan term and definitely don't want the run around but a person that cares about your needs then contact Colin and you will not be disappointed.
Read the full reviewColin did our new home’s mortgage and blew away all of the top banks. Even with “high status” with some of the banks, they couldn’t touch the rate Colin was able to secure. Communication was outstanding and much easier working with someone local. He even popped for our closing to end with a friendly smile and handshake. 100% recommend Colin, as I’ll be referring from my own personal great experience. Top Notch!
Read the full reviewI was truly lucky to have stumbled upon Colin in looking for a lender and a broker with competitive rates. While he works virtual, he's very accessible! He got us an incredibly competitive rate for our new home and had us "cleared to close" weeks before closing (reads ZERO stress)! He even came by to say "hi" in-person after we closed! If you live in the greater Charlotte area, you have to work with him. He'll do everything the big banks can do and more because he represents MANY lenders, not just one. Thanks Colin! We may not be moving again anytime soon, but if rates change, you're first on my list to call for a refinance!
Read the full reviewCALL COLIN!!! Colin Whitermore is beyond helpful, knowledgeable and responsive!!! Colin took the time to explain the process and offer options to suit my refinance goals. The process was quick and easy from start to finish. I will recommend Colin for all mortgage and refinancing needs.

Read the full reviewColin was phenomenal! He worked very hard to get what we needed. He was always quick to respond to us and went above and beyond to answer all of our questions!! Absolutely recommend him!!!
Read the full reviewColin is the absolute man. This is my first time using him & I wouldn’t pick anybody else to deal with. He picks up the phone 24/7, texts back quick as can be & is on top of everything. Best around for a reason.
Read the full reviewEasy to work with, knowledgeable and efficient. Working with Colin was easy and straightforward. He made himself available to answer questions whenever the need arise. True to his word, we were able to meet our closing deadline. I would definitely work with Colin again.
Read the full reviewColin went above and beyond to make this mortgage go through. With Sunpower solar being a major bump in the road, Colin saw it through to the end and made sure it got done. Highly recommend.
Wonderful experience with Colin. He kept me informed from start to finish and was helpful every step of the way.
Read the full reviewMy experience with Mr. Whitmore and his crew was excellent and very satisfied with their services and we thank you so much for everything. We are very grateful and happy with everything.
Very pleased with Colin and his willingness to work hard to get us in our first home, very professional and reliable through the entire process. I recommend highly...
Read the full reviewColin went above and beyond to get us to the closing table confident and with ease! He kept us informed and made the process so easy and smooth. We can’t thank you enough Colin for everything! The absolute best in his field!! Highly recommend him for anyone wanting to make the house process easier and smoother.
Read the full reviewColin was absolutely amazing! There was about a million and one hurdles in our process and literally more came up until the end. But out of everyone Colin was a rock and pillar of support to getting everything done and keeping hopes on closing high! I’m just glad he was in our corner to help get everything done and he was always a phone call away! If he was unable to answer he actually let you know and contacted you back unlike a lot of people! Definitely recommend to all realtors looking for an all star Loan officer or anyone looking for a loan guy.
Refinancing is half of what we do.
Lowering a rate, shortening a term, dropping mortgage insurance you no longer need, or pulling equity out for a renovation. The rule of thumb about how far rates must fall is not a calculation, your break-even is, and it takes five minutes.
- Lower your rate
- Drop mortgage insurance
- Change your term
- Take cash out
- Leave an adjustable rate
- Remove someone from the loan
