Tami Channel and Carrie Panacek

C&T MORTGAGE

BY ANNETTE BROOKS

When Tami Channel and Carrie Panacek decided to leverage their

years of mortgage banking industry experience and establish C&T

Mortgage in 2007, they set in motion a success story that keeps our

faith in the American dream alive.

The women— who have been best friends for 20-plus years—didn’t

skip a beat when the subprime mortgage crisis hit in 2008. As many

mortgage bankers struggled, they continued to build their company

by offering affordable rates, personalized attention, and going

the extra mile for their clients. Since opening, C&T Mortgage has

closed thousands of loans in Texas and has sustained growth that

is referral-based. All this and more highlights Carrie and Tami’s

dedication to always doing what’s right for their clients, and to

providing superior customer service.

“We treat clients like we would want to be treated, and work hard to

help them feel comfortable and informed throughout the mortgage

process. We accomplish this by tailoring loans to meet the needs

of each individual customer, and by providing information and

knowledge so they understand their loan. Our goal is to enable

customers to come to the closing table without questions and

concerns,” says Tami.

Carrie adds, “We’re a close-knit, family-based company that extends

this feeling to our customers. We look out for their best interest,

and would never put someone into a loan we wouldn’t recommend

to a family member. We go home to our families and sleep at night

knowing we’ve done our very best for our customers.”

In addition to exceptional customer care, C&T Mortgage is known

for its affordable mortgage rates. In fact, the company offers some

of the very best rates in Texas. Keeping their overhead low, they

pass the savings on to their clients to help them achieve their

mortgage goals.

“We especially enjoy helping small business owners like ourselves.

We also offer discounts to customers who give back and help the

community, such as firefighters, policemen and policewomen, and

teachers,” says Tami, whose husband is a Houston firefighter.

Another significant factor in C&T’s success is its staff. Everyone

on the team respects that a home is likely to be their clients’

single largest investment. Their loan officers, processors, and

closers are caring and personable, communicative and responsive.

Understanding that questions can arise at any time, they are

accessible to their customers, even after business hours.

C&T Mortgage has been voted Living Magazine Reader’s Choice

Best Mortgage Lender for three consecutive years (2013-2015);

voted Best Bank winner for Cypress, Texas in 2014 and 2015; and

named a Better Business Bureau Winner of Distinction. Moreover,

both Tami and Carrie are proud to have been voted Five Star

Mortgage Professionals in 2015 and 2016, a prestigious recognition

received by less than 10 percent of mortgage lenders in Houston.

Mortgage today. They look forward to not only helping you secure a

mortgage that is right for you, but to forming a lifelong relationship
