VanDyk Mortgage
Kate Matties-Deiboldt Branch Manager
As a 25+ year veteran mortgage professional, I have served Clarksville, TN and the surrounding areas. Fort Campbell, home of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), has been a cornerstone of my professional life. The base, straddling the Kentucky-Tennessee border, houses a significant military population, including the Screaming Eagles and other elite units. This unique setting has allowed me to develop a deep understanding of the specific needs and challenges faced by military families in their quest for housing.
My expertise in VA loans has been particularly valuable in this military-rich environment. VA loans, backed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, offer eligible service members, veterans, and certain surviving spouses the opportunity to purchase, build, repair, or refinance a home with favorable terms. These loans often require no down payment and offer competitive interest rates, making homeownership more accessible to our military community.
Working with active duty military personnel from Fort Campbell has been a rewarding aspect of my career. I've helped many soldiers navigate the complexities of home buying while dealing with the unique challenges of military life, such as frequent relocations and deployments. My understanding of the military lifestyle has allowed me to provide tailored advice and solutions to these brave men and women.
Clarksville's strong connection to Fort Campbell is evident in its patriotic spirit and support for the military. As a mortgage professional, I've played a role in helping service members integrate into the local community. Whether they're looking to live on-post or in the surrounding areas of Clarksville or Hopkinsville, I've guided them through their options, considering factors like commute times, schools, and community resources.
Over the years, I've helped clients through various market conditions and interest rate fluctuations. My experience has taught me to adapt and find creative solutions for military families looking to secure their dream home.
My commitment to serving the military community extends beyond just providing loans. I've made it my mission to educate service members about their VA benefits and the intricacies of the home buying process. This dedication has led to lasting relationships with many Fort Campbell families, who often return for refinancing or refer their fellow service members.
Each military family has unique circumstances. Some are looking for their first home, while others are planning for potential deployments or future relocations. I've developed specialized strategies to help these families make informed decisions, considering potential future moves, basic allowance for housing (BAH), and long-term financial goals.
My work isn't just about processing paperwork. It's about understanding the sacrifices military families make and helping them build stability through homeownership. From first-time homebuyers to seasoned veterans, I've helped hundreds of service members and their families find their place in the Clarksville community.
As I continue my career in Clarksville, I remain dedicated to supporting the brave men and women of Fort Campbell and their families. Their service inspires me to provide the best possible guidance and support in their journey to homeownership, honoring their commitment to our nation with my commitment to their financial well-being.
