Welcome to Big Country Lending
At Big Country Lending, we believe every borrower deserves a mortgage experience that’s transparent, personalized, and built around their goals. Founded by Christopher Hewitt Reed, a seasoned Regional Branch Manager and Senior Loan Advisor, Daniel Richardson, our team proudly serves clients across the United States, offering unmatched guidance and support in home financing from application to closing.
As an experienced loan officer, Christopher has served as a Regional Branch Manager with NEXA Mortgage. This means we’re not limited to one bank’s programs or rates—we shop the market to find the best mortgage lending product tailored specifically to your unique financial situation.
The name Big Country Lending was inspired by a nickname given to Christopher years ago—“Big Country” from NEXA Mortgage's CEO, Mike Kortas. This reflects his strong presence, heart for people, and down-to-earth service style, closely aligning with Chris' Appalachian deep roots.
