"The friendliest place I have ever worked; when I say friendly, I mean upper management is friendly and takes the time to listen. My coworkers are always willing to help me along with management. It's also the most transparent place I have ever worked. I like they screen people really well, so I always feel I can trust management and coworkers. They understand that we are all human, and when we make mistakes, they take the time to show you the correct way to do things without belittling you."
Employees say:
"The balance of work and family life is highly encouraged. I have never worked for a mortgage company where I felt like I could take time off and not feel guilty. I am able to take my vacations, unplug and get the needed time away to come back rejuvenated! They also did a poll on everyone's thoughts on benefits, and they listened to all of the feedback and made an immediate change to the benefits, it was truly incredible to see!!"
Employees say:
"New American Funding is by far the best company to work for and best mortgage company I have ever worked for. Our owners and President of the company are beyond amazing and very supportive. They have created a family-style culture that starts at the top and flows down to the rest of the company. I cannot imagine working anywhere else and feel blessed by the opportunity I have been given to work alongside so many incredible, talented and team oriented people. Truly the best of the best and the company just keeps getting better and better."
Employees say: "NAF is an amazing company that has a family-style culture that remains even through growth! NAF cares for their customers and works diligently so as many people as possible obtain their dream of home ownership. The owners and president of the company are an amazing team together. Their heart for the company, community and customers is second to none. The amount of time spent investing in the company to grow in all ways, so that we may provide the best possible customer service and help as many people as we can, is simply amazing!"

Cofounded in 2003 by husband-and-wife duo Rick and Patty Arvielo, New American Funding is the largest Latina-run mortgage company in the country, and its goal is to serve the underserved. The company has more than 230 locations and 3,700 employees, and has serviced 257,000 loans worth over $67.6 billion. The company values diversity in both its workers and its clientele—nearly 53% of its employees are women, 37% are minorities, and 35% are millennials, as of March. It offers two award-winning programs, the Latino Focus and the New American Dream initiatives, which are focused on improving the mortgage-lending experience for minority borrowers. The former helps educate the housing industry on how to support the Hispanic community while they buy homes, and the latter seeks to increase homeownership among Black communities. The tough state of the 2023 housing market surely played a role in New American dropping 32 spots from last year’s list.
