Our Founder

Jon Maddux

In 2012, as a mortgage broker, I began dreaming about what it would be like to have access to a Jumbo lender that would go above and beyond with a more holistic approach to underwriting. Two years later, we began helping prospects affected by the financial crisis regain homeownership by offering programs that looked at more than just a credit score or an isolated credit event. Exceptions were a thing of the past, yet an extremely valuable part of lending to people who don’t always fit in a box.

Over several years, our dream expanded as we took a different approach to self-employed income and non-traditional borrowers who were overlooked by mainstream lenders. When non-QM emerged, we focused on it from the beginning. To say that we became proficient at it would be an understatement.

At Founders Mortgage, we value entrepreneurs as our clients, and are committed to helping you build wealth.
