About NAF

The NAF Difference

NAF is the largest privately-owned, woman-owned mortgage company in the country.

NAF is an industry leader in culture, dedication to service, and lending to diverse communities.

NAF originates billions in loans each year and services approximately 80% of the loans we are eligible to service, which allows the company to diversify its revenue streams, build customer loyalty, and successfully navigate any market conditions. NAF has an extensive suite of loan programs as diverse as its clients and offers competitive rates with industry-leading turn times.


Built for Now & for the future.

Under the leadership of Rick and Patty Arvielo, NAF remains privately-owned, unlike big banks and other large mortgage companies. This allows NAF to be nimble and move quickly in adjusting strategy to counter market conditions, without needing to consult shareholders or investors. This advantage has enabled NAF to become one of the nation’s top lenders with an expanding national presence. The company is focused on aggressive growth and recruiting many of the nation’s top loan officers to join our team, building the foundation for NAF’s continued success. NAF provides its customers, loan officers, and partners with an experience that is built on decades of mortgage expertise, all while maintaining the community feel that separates NAF from all other lenders.
