LOCAL ROOTS
Built in Southern Maryland. Still deeply connected to it.
Steve Combs was born and raised in St. Mary’s County, attended Leonardtown High School, played football there, and later continued at Frostburg State University. That local perspective matters because many buyers and homeowners here are not just choosing a loan — they are balancing commutes, family roots, military ties, move-up timing, and long-term cost of living decisions.
