Personalized Mortgage Guidance

Close in 3 Weeks
Our process is built for speed. Most clients close their home loan in just 3 weeks.
Stronger Negotiating Position when Buying a Home
The equity in your current home is unlocked and used as a downpayment on your new home; meaning no sales contingency required! Sellers HATE sales contingencies. Without a sales contingency, your offer is stronger, increasing your chances of buying your next home with ease.
Get the Highest and Best Sale Price
Without feeling pressured to sell quickly, you can wait for the best offer on your current home. List your home at the best time, market it effectively, and attract more competitive offers. With no rush, you can negotiate better terms and get the highest selling price.
Reduced Stress
Don't worry about finding temporary housing or organizing multiple moves. Avoid the chaos of having to coordinate the sale of your current home and the purchase of a new one. Transition seamlessly from one home to another and reduce stress or anxiety, making the moving process more manageable and organized.
Time for Improvements
Make necessary renovations or updates to your new property before you move in. Painting, remodeling, or other improvements would be more challenging if you were already living there. Moving into a freshly updated home (instead of living in it during renovations) is just so much nicer!
LOWER INTEREST RATE GUARANTEED AT LENDFRIEND
Get an even lower interest rate at LendFriend Mortgage.
THE BEST LOAN EXPERIENCE YOU'LL EVER HAVE
Forget everything you know about the mortgage process from other companies. Our seamless, transparent process is lightning fast with the visibility throughout the entire cycle to track the exact status of your loan while we work to close your loan.

You will not regret it.

Wow my husband and I were truly impressed with how easy the LendFriend team made our home buying experience. Eric and his team took extra care in explaining and outlining each step -- a real customer first experience. On top of that, each member of the team was incredibly knowledgeable, organized, and responsive; resulting in an expeditious close! The website promise of working around the clock to support you is 100% factual, we had staff answering questions late night and weekends. The entire team was a real pleasure to work with, so if you are looking for a mortgage broker look no further, LendFriend is the team for you! They will give you peace of mind, get you the best rates, and make you feel confident when buying your home :)

I had been looking for a house for 2-3 years and while it was a journey as a business owner with a difficult financial situation this company did what 6 others could not. They got me a jumbo loan based off my business income and when I needed more they just made it happen twice. This process of funding can be extremely difficult and basically a blow to the ego but Eric and his team are literally magicians and my fiancee and I are now closed on out dream house. I recommend them whole heartedly

LendFriend was such a wonderful partner in the process of buying our first home. They were so helpful and patient in giving us guidance, and their availability to communicate was next-to-none. I can't recommend them highly enough!

Highly recommend LendFriend!!! As daunting as the process can be to get pre-approved for a mortgage loan, the entire team was great that we worked with that got us to the finish line. Each team member helped us in clearly communicating each step to ensure every step was smooth, in addition being available for a quick call to walk through our questions and concerns when needed. LendFriend was also very competitive with rates and dropped our interest rate last minute right before we closed! They got the job done and made it as stress free as possible.
