At The Herd Lending, our core commitment is to providing sophisticated, customized mortgage strategies regardless of where you are purchasing. We know that every loan decision is significant, which is why we’ve built our team around deep product knowledge, transparent communication, and efficient execution.

We distinguish ourselves by focusing on three essential areas that ensure your success:

  • Mastery of Diverse Products: We don’t limit ourselves to the easiest loans. Our team maintains up-to-the-minute expertise on complex and niche financing options, from Non-Warrantable Condos and DSCR Investor Loans for real estate professionals to flexible Bank Statement Loans for the self-employed.

We proactively identify potential issues—such as complex income scenarios or unique property characteristics—early in the process. This rigorous approach dramatically reduces last-minute surprises, ensuring a predictable path from pre-approval to closing.

  • The Power of the Wholesale Market: We harness the competitive power of the national wholesale market to shop rates and terms from a vast network of lenders. This ensures you receive the most competitive pricing available, all delivered through the convenience and dedicated service of a single, expert point of contact.
