Rose City is one of the nation’s first Socially Responsible mortgage brokers supporting community, diversity, sustainability and ….dogs.
We believe that to truly be a member of a community, you need to give back in some way.
In addition to volunteering with various groups, we donate $100 of our $695 fee to one of the following non-profit organizations each time a loan closes. Please follow the links to more information about the individual non-profit.
