Embrace Home Loans celebrated the grand opening of its new location at 102 South Main St., Suite 101, on May 16, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony sponsored by the Culpeper County Chamber of Commerce.
Members of the Culpeper community were able see the new office and enjoy food and beverages.
According to Christina Swift, producing sales manager and loan officer for Embrace, when the home loan company first came to Culpeper in the early 2000s, it opened its first office on West Davis Street.
A few years later, the business moved to a space on Madison Road, where it stayed for 15 years before returning to downtown Culpeper.
“We had many, many offices and we were downsizing in a way and we also wanted a downtown location,” Swift said on the decision to move again. “When the downtown location came up, we found that this was the perfect fit for us.”

Swift added the customer response has been positive, and complimented the newly renovated office. She said he hopes the new location can attract foot traffic from those walking in the downtown shopping area and allow her to show potential clients new to the area the appeal of Culpeper.
Among Embrace’s well wishers was Justin McFarland, senior vice-president for Oak View National Bank’s Culpeper branch. “(Swift) does a lot of the same things I do in the mortgage business and in the commercial business but she’s always been a fair competitor and a great friend,” he said.
Tish Smyth, a member of the board of directors for Culpeper Renaissance Inc., added, “It is wonderful to have a local lender downtown in our small community.”
Embrace Home Loans is a residential mortgage lender helping people buy and refinance homes. The company also advises and guides clients through the home buying process.
