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.

Kevin and his team were excellent! Our move had no shortage of complexities, moving from Canada to the US. His team was always available, made miracles in the eleventh hour to get us in our new home as planned. Couldn't recommend Kevin and his team more!

Jose went above and beyond with his professionalism. He made sure we understood the process and made it seamless and was there whenever we needed him. Hopefully we can buy or build another house because jose would be the only one I would call.
