theLender

Championships aren't won overnight. And neither is success. The World Cup is built on preparation, teamwork, and execution. So are we. At theLender, every loan is another opportunity to win for our brokers and borrowers. June was a record month. Now we're chasing our next goal: $450 million funded in July. One team. One goal. Let's bring home another win. - #WorldCup #MortgageLending #Teamwork #WholesaleMortgage #theLender

Help us congratulate Thomas for his recent promotion to Sales Manager! - Thomas joined theLender in February 2025. After graduating from the AE Academy, he quickly worked his way into a Senior AE and Mentor role. In his first year, he made an immediate impact by helping grow the team through trainings, broker calls, and mentoring new AEs. His leadership, consistency, and willingness to invest in others ultimately led to his promotion to Manager. With over 10 years of sales experience, Thomas has built a reputation for leading by example and demonstrating the habits that drive success at theLender. He's fully committed to his team's vision, culture, and growth, which is why he named his sales team Team ALL IN. It's more than just a name; it's the mindset he expects from himself and his team. His motto says it all: "If you want to be BALLIN, you got to be ALL IN!" - #theLender #success #brokers #dscr #nonqm - Diego Velez Dee Schultz Cory Tona

A successful quarter deserves a great celebration. Yesterday, we wrapped up an incredible (and we can't stress that enough... INCREDIBLE) Q2 with a carnival-style event featuring games, prizes, food trucks, and plenty of team spirit, all under beautiful Southern California skies. Events like this are about more than celebrating results: they're about recognizing the people who made them possible. Thank you to everyone who helped make Q2 one to remember. Let's carry that momentum into an even stronger second half of the year. A huge shoutout to our HR and IT teams for planning, organizing, and bringing this entire event to life. You absolutely knocked it out of the park! - #CompanyCulture #Teamwork #EmployeeAppreciation #WorkHardPlayHard #WeAretheLender - Cory Tona Mary Rodgers Mary A. James Shea

While the market slows, theLender’s market share grows. Yesterday, we had the largest submission day in the history of theLender. The timing makes it even more meaningful. The same morning, headlines reported that mortgage applications are falling again as higher rates continue to pressure the market. Thank you to every member of our team for your relentless execution, collaboration, and commitment to winning together. - Cory Tona Shane Harris Aaron Iverson - #NonQM #MortgageLending #MarketShare #Leadership #WinningTogether #broker
