Our Story

Built by mortgage people,
for mortgage people.

NewFed Mortgage Corp was founded in 2001 with a simple belief: that the mortgage process should be transparent, efficient, and personal. Twenty-five years later, that belief still drives everything we do.

We’ve grown from a single New England office into a licensed lender operating in more than 20 states — but we haven’t lost what made us different. Our loan officers are real people, embedded in their communities, who answer their phones and fight for their clients.

NewFed Mortgage Corp · NMLS #1881 · Equal Housing Lender · Committed to fair lending practices and helping every qualified borrower find their path to homeownership.

Our Values

What we stand for

Trust

We earn trust through honesty, consistency, and doing what we say we will do — every time, without exception.

Transparency

No hidden fees. No confusing terms. We explain everything clearly so you can make confident decisions.

Community

Our loan officers are members of the communities they serve — not remote operators, but neighbors and advocates.
