Enriching the Golden Years of Seniors.

Urban Financial Group was created in the fall of 2002 and is now recognized as one of the top ten Reverse Mortgage lenders in the country. With a background in traditional mortgage lending, Urban Financial Group took a chance on the emerging Reverse Mortgage market when few others did.

Beginning as a correspondent with Financial Freedom in 2003 and Seattle Mortgage in 2005, Urban Financial Group quickly became a large producer for each and instantly gained a reputation for strong knowledge and marketability of the Reverse Mortgage product. It was decided in 2006 that Urban Financial Group would move forward to achieve Lender status, which would allow all functions of the loan process to be handled internally. Therefore, in 2006 Urban Financial Group received its Direct Endorsement from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, giving themselves the ability to underwrite their own file while eliminating the need to outsource to Seattle Mortgage. In the summer of 2006, Urban Financial Group was called upon by Fannie Mae to become a direct seller of Reverse Mortgage loans, and to this day, less than ten lenders in the Reverse Mortgage industry have the privilege of selling directly to Fannie Mae.

Now, with all the back end operations in place, Urban Financial Group began their focus on retail operations. Approved to do loans in 37 states, Urban Financial Group has 20 retail locations and over 150 employees. In late 2007, the company expanded its reach even further and announced the opening of its Wholesale division by the name of ReverseIt!. Since then, Urban Financial Group has hired Rue McClanahan from the Golden Girls hit television show to act as their spokesperson.

Urban Financial Group continues to be one of the fastest growing lenders in the industry and plans to move forward with expansion and leadership for the future.
