About Ralph McCarthy
I have been assisting clients for 26 years and have been with Flagstar Bank for 13 of them. I take pride in delivering excellent customer service and making myself available at almost all hours, including nights and weekends. I will take the time to answer all of your questions, help you understand the mortgage process, and, most importantly, get you to close on your house on time. I have many loans to offer, including conventional, FHA, VA, USDA and renovation/construction.
I live in Kenosha, and I have been married to my wife Lisa for 25 years. I have two daughters: Jackie, who is grown, and Veronica, who is active on her high school softball team and in band. In my spare time, I love to play softball. I am also on the Board of Directors for both Habitat for Humanity of Kenosha and the ELCA Outreach Center, two great organizations that allow me to give back and serve the greater Kenosha area.

1Rate as of 12/6/2023 10:33 AM EST. The APR calculation is based on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage in the amount of $240,000 for the purchase of a single-family, primary residence with 80% loan-to-value (LTV) or 48,000% down payment, minimum borrower credit score of 740, and estimated points of 1% of the loan amount and origination fee of $1,295 with 360 monthly payments in the amount of $1,611. Payment amount does not include taxes and insurance which means your monthly obligation will be greater. Actual payment amount will vary based upon credit history, rates in effect at the time of consummation, LTV and other credit factors. A LTV ratio above 80% may result in a need for mortgage insurance. If mortgage insurance is required, the amount of your payment will increase. The APR is subject to change at any time prior to consummation, and individual APRs may vary for loan purchases and loan refinances due to loan programs being offered, loan volume, or other factors. All borrowers are subject to qualification, underwriting approval, lender terms and conditions. Terms, conditions, and rates are subject to change without notice.
