Finance Your Dream Home

Finding the right mortgage program is one of the most important decisions and it can also be the most confusing.  A mortgage doesn’t have to be "one size fits all." We have dozens of different ways to customize your mortgage, making sure you have the option that saves you the most over time.  To be sure you're making the best choice, it helps to have the guidance of a responsive financing partner with experienced Mortgage Loan Originators (MLOs) that live and work in the Berkshires.

Adams Community Bank is sensitive to the individual needs of customers, we work closely with you through every step of the process. We realize how important this is—that's why we guarantee mortgage pre-qualification decisions in 24 hours or less* so you don't miss out on the house of your dreams—even if you have been around the block or are a
First Time Homebuyer. So whether you are trying to finance the purchase of the perfect parcel, construct your cozy abode or improve your current dwelling dream—from application to closing, Adams Community Bank will be there with you—helping you realize your dream of home ownership.

NOTICE OF CHANGES IN TEMPORARY FDIC INSURANCE
COVERAGE FOR TRANSACTION ACCOUNTS

All funds in a "noninterest-bearing transaction account" are insured in full by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation from December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2012.

The term "noninterest-bearing transaction account" includes a traditional checking account or demand deposit account on which the insured depository institution pays no interest. It also includes Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts (IOLTAs”). It does not include other accounts, such as traditional checking or demand deposit accounts that may earn interest, NOW accounts and money-market deposit accounts.

For more information about temporary FDIC insurance coverage of transaction accounts, visit
