TESTIMONIALS
What others are saying
“I had an amazing experience"
I had an amazing experience working with Connor and Hometown. As a business owner their expertise made the process seamless with all the different revenue streams and types of income. They worked long hours, were very communicative throughout and gave great guidance to us in the underwriting process. I look forward to working with them again in the future. - Adam C.
“This is THE place to go"
This is THE place to go to handle your mortgage. I just refinanced for a better rate than any of the big mortgage companies could offer, and Connor and the team made it very straightforward for someone with zero knowledge in this arena. The attention to detail, customer care, and willingness to go the extra mile for your best interest is incredible. Thank you Home Town Mortgage! - Oscar M.
“An Outstanding Job"
Steve Beecham and his team Amy Farrell and April Moore did an outstanding job not only on getting the job done thoroughly, but quickly as well. Could not be more pleased. - Dylan K.
“Found Me The Best Possible Loan"
As a first-time homebuyer with complicated income, Steve went the extra mile to find a lender who would see my whole picture. His service went far above and beyond what I experienced from any other potential lenders/brokers, and he helped me find the best possible loan. Once we found a lender, Amy and April made the rest of the underwriting process smooth and painless. Thank you, Home Town Mortgage! - Matthew E.
“Connor and his team are incredible!"
Connor and team are incredible! The sellers market can be brutal, but having a trustworthy and knowledgeable lender made all the difference for us! We needed a pre approval letter (and fast) to compete with multiple offers. Connor got it to us same day. When the offer selection came down to who could close in 2 weeks, Connor also made that happen. He was extremely responsive and made an expedited closing seem like a cakewalk. Thankful for his diligence or we may have lost out on our dream home! - Stephanie H.
“absolutely second to none."
The team at Hometown Mortgage were absolutely second to none. I’ve used a few different mortgage companies through the years and this was by far the smoothest, most professional group we’ve used. Connor, April, and Amy were all very prompt in response, quick to get paperwork pushed through and were extremely helpful with any questions we had. Can’t say enough good things about them and their organization. - Caleb H.
Our Story
Welcome to Home Town Mortgage!
We’re a family-owned business rooted in Alpharetta, GA, and proud to call ourselves the oldest mortgage company in town.
Founded in 1996 by my dad, Steve Beecham, Home Town Mortgage quickly became a top-performing brokerage in Georgia. But like many, we weathered the challenges of the Great Recession, scaling down to focus on what matters most: personalized service.
In 2018, I joined as a Loan Officer at Home Town Mortgage, making this a true family business. Today, as co-owners, we’ve grown our team while staying true to our mission—helping our neighbors secure the best home financing with care, transparency, and a personal touch.
When you work with Home Town Mortgage, you’re treated like family. We’ll guide you through the loan process, find competitive rates, and serve as your single point of contact from start to finish. Think of us as your 24/7 mortgage partner—always here when you need us!

Samantha Downey is a loan officer with Home Town Mortgage, based in Alpharetta GA. After graduating from Georgia Tech in 2014, Samantha worked for a local business consulting firm in Atlanta. She jumped into the world of Real Estate later in 2015 and quickly grew as a top producing Realtor in the Atlanta-metro area, selling over 50 homes a year.
When the pandemic began to shut the world down in 2020, Samantha began to find herself with more down time and decided to pursue an additional career, Loan Originating, and closed over $10MM in volume within her first 6 months. After witnessing the Home Town Mortgage team deliver exceptional service and pricing during a real estate transaction in 2021, she knew she had to join this father-son team and has never looked back.
She is equipped with the knowledge of both an agent and loan officer, and always strives to use that experience to provide a simple approach to the home buying process. Samantha resides in Marietta with her husband (Drew), daughter (Leighton), and two dogs (Wrigley & Fenway). When she’s not working, she loves spending time with her family, working out, attending church, and playing golf with friends.
