Parkmont understands that our industry is built on relationships and strengthened through personal and professional loyalties. The Parkmont family is comprised of talented, loyal and committed individuals who truly support one another. Our Branch Managers know they can trust in this family spirit. They trust that corporate will provide the leadership, cutting edge technology, and full range of products and services they need to reach their goals. After all, AFN’s CEO, a producer himself for the greater part of his career, prides himself on having established a culture built on the idea that the producer is our true customer.

We are a continually evolving mortgage lender that combines the platform, technology, product offering and pricing of a large banker with the family atmosphere feel of a small lender.

We nurture the entrepreneurial spirit in our branch managers and help them to meet their business aspirations. Their income is only capped by their motivation level.

Most of our executives came up through origination at one point, so we appreciate the importance of performing for our clients and referral partners.

We deliver on service by utilizing a great team of operations personnel and a very efficient use of technology. We focus on eliminating redundancies, automating tasks and streamlining the movement of data to the many people that need to work on each file. We always have a pipeline of new improvements that will continue to set us apart from our competition. In an industry that has become increasingly commoditized over the years with less to differentiate competitors, our focus on support and service does just that.

• Nationwide Licensing Footprint*

As other lenders began growing beyond capacity along with the housing bubble, AFN remained small, focusing on manageable organic growth. After the market crash in 2007 we continued to be a strong presence in the mortgage industry, steadily expanding our licensing. By selecting the right partners, our growth has continued to be both steady and successful with AFN now licensed in more than 40 states and funding over $2 Billion per year in markets across the country.

Consistent Year-Over-Year Growth Unlike other companies’ whose volume levels are tied to the interest rate environment, AFN’s volume is primarily tied to successful partnering with new branches in new markets.

By starting small and growing organically - even through the housing bubble - in just the past few years, we have more than tripled our number of employees.
