Our Mission
New American Funding enables clients of all backgrounds to accomplish the American dream of homeownership by offering a diverse product suite, competitive pricing, and our promise to provide a timely and efficient closing. Our dedication to client service during the transaction extends after the closing while we service their mortgage. This passion for client service is displayed in every step of the homeownership experience with focus on fulfilling our client’s needs in a manner that enhances their standard of living.
Our History
New American Funding was established in 2003 by husband-and-wife Rick and Patty Arvielo. By combining Patty's extensive knowledge of the mortgage industry and Rick's technical expertise, they began to build what would become one of the top mortgage companies in the U.S.
NAF began as a 40-employee call center in Orange County, and after years of hard work, opened its first branch in 2012. Now, over 20 years later, NAF has 301 locations across the nation.
By staying true to our guiding mission and providing an exceptional lending experience, we maintain a servicing portfolio of more than 281,900 loans valued at over $73.2 billion. In addition, we are a Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae direct mortgage lender, seller, and servicer that is licensed in all 50 states.
