Total Mortgage was founded in Connecticut in 1997 by John Walsh, a loan officer with years of experience helping borrowers reach their goals. Since then, a lot has changed, and the company found its strength in being able to evolve and grow. We’ve pivoted with the times and have been a borrower-first business, always – and that focus has remained consistent for over 28 years.

After the housing market crash in 2008, we took advantage of the early 2010s and used that time to evaluate our best path forward. Scott Penner took over as CEO in 2015, and we began a growth trajectory that truly revolutionized our business. Rather than primarily focused on leads, we placed a higher emphasis on referrals, our realtor partners, and actively recruiting new branch locations.

It all works because of this simple philosophy: we want our loan officers to build their business, build their brand, and realize their full potential. To do this, we support them like no other company can. Our technology is second to none, with a full staff of developers and programmers. Add that to our full-service marketing and videography department, best in class operations teams, and a family type culture that has been described as the number one reason people love working here, create the perfect recipe for success.
