Our Story

A lender that actually wants you debt-free.

Proficient Home Finance was founded by a team of mortgage veterans who were tired of an industry that profits from keeping homeowners in debt. We do it differently.

Family planning home finances

Founded on a simple idea.

In 2014, our founders watched too many friends and family members trapped in HELOCs and mortgages they didn't fully understand. So they built Proficient Home Finance — a licensed lender that treats homeowners like clients, not transactions.

Today we serve over 38,000 homeowners across 48 states, with one of the highest client-rated NPS scores in the industry.

What we stand for

Three principles, no exceptions.

Transparency

Every fee, every rate, every assumption. We show our work — always.

Long-term thinking

We optimize for your financial future, not our quarterly origination volume.
