Who We Are
Longbridge Financial is an innovative lender and servicer specializing in home equity solutions for senior homeowners. As the only reverse mortgage lender in this collaborative, we provide tailored support and solutions designed to meet the unique financial goals of seniors. With a diverse product mix of home equity solutions—including our proprietary reverse mortgage Longbridge Platinum—we empower businesses to expand their reach in this growing market.
A leader in the Third-Party Origination sector of the reverse mortgage market, Longbridge routinely sets records and achieves new milestones. Today, we are proud to be the largest securitizer of Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) loans, retaining servicing rights to loans that we fund or purchase.
How We Can Work Together
Traditional lenders often pass up potential customers, missing opportunities by declining loans that could be secured with alternative financing solutions. That’s where Longbridge comes in! We work with brokers, as well as non- and full-delegated correspondents, to show how they can unlock a new market and uncover untapped opportunities.
Whether your team is experienced with reverse mortgages or exploring them for the first time, our exclusive Reverse Made Easy® program simplifies the process. With full loan processing and closing functions, we provide the support and resources you need to successfully integrate reverse mortgage products into your existing processes.
What Sets Us Apart
Longbridge Leadership: CEO and Co-Founder, Christopher Mayer, Ph.D., has spent more than 20 years studying housing and mortgages as a professor at Columbia University and the Wharton School. Chief Revenue & Marketing Officer and Co-Founder, Melissa Macerato, was designated one of the "10 Best Inspiring Leaders of 2021” by Industry Era Women Leaders, as well as a “Powerhouse" Award winner by NEXT Mortgage News. COO, Bill Packer, is a former Chairperson for the Mortgage Bankers Association Residential Technology Committee, a frequent speaker at industry events, and is recognized for his deep experience and leadership across operations and technology.
