New American Funding Takes Home Two NerdWallet “Best-Of” Awards

Jan 29, 2019
New American Funding has named Sean Casey Senior Vice President of Retail Sales for Arizona and Texas

In NerdWallet’s annual Best-Of Awards program, which highlights the top financial companies and products nationwide, New American Funding has been named a 2019 two-time winner, in the category of Best Mortgage Lender for Purchase Loans and Best Mortgage Lender for FHA Loans.
 
“Being honored for the second year in a row by NerdWallet is an achievement that our team and partners can be exceptionally proud of,” said Rick Arvielo, Chief Executive Officer of New American Funding. “While accolades are not what drive us to be the very best mortgage lender, NerdWallet has validated the hard work that goes into providing our clients and consumers with industry-leading loan products and service. We thank NerdWallet for ranking New American Funding as one of the elites.”
 
This marks the fourth year NerdWallet has researched dozens of financial products across multiple verticals in order to help consumers make confident financial decisions. More than 40 of NerdWallet’s personal finance experts on its editorial team spent hundreds of hours researching and comparing to find the “Best of the Best” financial products for consumers in 2019. New American Funding again made that list.
 
“Being honored in NerdWallet’s Best-of Awards is a tremendous way to kick off 2019,” said Patty Arvielo, President of New American Funding. “We thank NerdWallet CEO Tim Chen and his editorial team for recognizing us as one of the top financial institutions that provide exemplary products and services. While it’s a thrill to win one of the top awards in the category of Best Mortgage Lender for Purchase Loans as well as Best Mortgage Lender for FHA Loans, we will continue to be forward-thinking and customer-focused.”
