our mission

Make home financing clearer, faster, and more human so every borrower feels confident from application to closing

about us

Total Mortgage was founded in 1997 by John Walsh, a former loan officer who saw firsthand that the industry could be better. He built a company designed to truly support loan officers and the way they actually work.

What started as a three-person operation has grown into a national lender with more than 450 employees. During the 2007 housing crisis, one principle guided every decision: only approve loans we knew our borrowers could afford. That discipline helped us navigate one of the most challenging times in the industry and it continues to define who we are today.

Our culture is built on support, collaboration, and a willingness to step in for one another. That mindset carries through to how we serve our borrowers. We don’t just quote rates, we problem-solve, educate, and guide people toward responsible paths to homeownership.

As we continue to grow, we remain focused on raising the standard. We invest in our people, processes, and technology, while actively listening to feedback from those doing the work every day.

I had an excellent experience with the whole team, but Zach definitely made sure that I knew he had things under control. Anytime I had a concern he addressed it politely and professionally. It was like working with a friend not just another business man looking to meet his numbers. I will definitely be referring my insurance clients to him and Total mortgage!

This is my second time working with Tim and somehow he's gotten better, this was streamlined and Tim kept me updated and informed all throughout the process. Returned calls and e-mails in a timely manner and gave me all the necessary information that i could use so as to make a decision.

What our clients say

Working with Ed on our loan process was an absolute dream from start to finish! I first reached out to Ed a full year before we were even ready to buy, while we were in the middle of preparing our old house to list. When we finally reached back out the following summer to apply for our new loan, Ed not only remembered us immediately, but seamlessly picked up right where we left off. Throughout the entire journey, he was exceptionally patient and genuinely available whenever we needed him. Whether through quick text messages or detailed phone calls, Ed was always right there to clear up any confusion and break down every step of what can easily feel like a very daunting process. His incredible guidance on credit score tips and financial preparation made a world of difference…we actually ended up qualifying for significantly more than I ever thought possible! If you are looking for a mortgage banker who truly cares, knows his stuff, and goes above and beyond, look no further than Ed. Five stars aren't enough!
