About First Fidelis
A leading low-interest, quick-closing mortgage lender serving the Greater Kansas City Area.
Our Mission
At First Fidelis, LLC, we know that buying a home is a big decision, and we understand how important it is to choose the loan that’s right for you. As a premier low-interest refinance lender in Kansas City, First Fidelis was founded by Lance Richards, whose mission was to offer all our clients the best loans available. We understand how much time and work goes into buying a house, so we make getting a loan as quick and painless as possible — closing loans in under 30 days, one of the fastest closing times on the market.
Whether our clients are buying their first house or looking to refinance, First Fidelis is committed to helping every family find the right loan for their needs and budget. That means offering loans for individuals with lower credit scores, and access to a wide variety of loan types — including USDA, Fannie Mae, and VA loans, as well as conventional fixed-rate and ARM loans. We’re proud to serve the Greater Kansas City Area for all home buying and refinancing needs.
