Roseau & Greenbush, MN - Lisa Bergsnev, Mortgage Banker, was named a Top Producer by Minnesota Housing for her homeownership program loan production volume during 2024.

“Border Bank is very proud of this well-deserved recognition for Lisa, our team, and mortgage department. We find it very rewarding to partner with Minnesota Housing to help our customers secure competitive financing and terms for their home improvement projects,” said Rob Carlson, Border Bank’s Mortgage Director.

Housing is foundational to success, and Minnesota Housing Top Producers are committed to helping homebuyers build equity and wealth through successful homeownership.

Minnesota Housing supports and strengthens homeownership by working with local loan officers like Lisa Bergsnev to provide affordable homebuyer loans. In 2024 our participating lenders provided over 5,100 home mortgage loans totaling nearly $1.2 billion statewide. With their help, we were able to continue to reach our Go Big goal of 40% of first-time mortgages going to Black homeowners, Indigenous homeowners, and homeowners of color.

Eligible homebuyers can access programs with fixed interest rates and downpayment and closing cost assistance loans up to $18,000, based on program. More information and eligibility requirements are available at www.mnhousing.gov.

Minnesota Housing also offers home improvement loans through participating lenders and finances single-family and multifamily housing across the state.

The 125 Top Producing Loan Officers in 2024 are recognized as Top Producers on the Minnesota Housing “Find A Lender” search tool, receive a marketing kit for their use, and are featured on Minnesota Housing social media during June Homeownership Month.

“Minnesota Housing has tremendous resources for homebuyers and homeowners, but it’s our lenders who put them in the hands of Minnesotans. We’re grateful to Lisa Bergsnev for their partnership” said Minnesota Housing Commissioner Jennifer Leimaile Ho.
