LINTHICUM, MD, July 28, 2017 — NFM Lending, a mortgage lending company, is pleased to announce the new location of their corporate headquarters at 1190 Winterson Road, Suite 300, Linthicum, MD 21090. All branch locations across the United States will remain unchanged.

Less than a half a mile from our former headquarters, we are excited to begin the next chapter of the NFM story and look forward to helping as many of our clients realize ownership of the home of their dreams.”

NFM Lending opened its doors in 1998 in Baltimore, MD, with just four Loan Originators, and has since grown to have over 400 employees and more than 35 branches nationwide. The corporate office houses all NFM Lending’s operations.

“I am very excited about our move,” said Bob Tyson, COO/CAO. “We have come a long way from a small office in the heart of Baltimore City to now proudly displaying our logo on the front of a 4-story building in Linthicum. Throughout our growth, we have always focused on taking care of our number one asset: our employees. Our new space is full of upgrades and amenities to further enhance our employees’ experience while they provide our customers with exceptional service. It is truly an exciting time to be part of the NFM family.”

NFM Lending looks forward to this opportunity to better serve its employees, business partners, and clients.

LINTHICUM, MD, June 25, 2015 — On June 24, 2015, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) issued a proposed rule change and request for public comment regarding TRID. In the announcement, the CFPB proposes to move the rule’s effective date to Saturday, October 3, 2015.

“The Bureau believes that moving the effective date may benefit both industry and consumers with a smoother transition to the new rules,” said the CFPB on their website. “The Bureau further believes that scheduling the effective date on a Saturday may facilitate implementation by giving industry time over the weekend to launch new systems configurations and to test systems. A Saturday launch is also consistent with existing industry plans tied to the original effective date of Saturday, August 1.”

NFM Lending will continue to prepare its employees and clients for TRID. For more information about what NFM Lending is doing to prepare for these important changes, visit www.nfmlending.com/ready-for-TRID.

LINTHICUM, M.D., January 16^th, 2014— NFM, Inc. is proud to announce David Silverman, CEO of NFM, Inc., has been named one of the 100 Most Influential Mortgage Executives in America by Mortgage Executive Magazine for 2013.

Mortgage Executive Magazine recognized and celebrated mortgage executives that built their companies and service their clients and employees through service, dedication and hard work. The winning executives were asked to provide their insights on the mortgage industry’s opportunities and challenges today. The following is the response by Silverman:

“The biggest opportunity today is consolidation and recruiting as the number of players decreases the strongest will survive. Between QM, refinance market pull back, rising rates, and various other variances in the market, there will be companies that merge, roll-up, get bought out or simply close up shop. The number of new mortgage entities entering the industry is negligible by any measurement so it stands to reason that those that are positioned property and have a workable plan with good to great execution will see it to the other side and become exponentially stronger 2-3 years from now.”
