The transparency and they are always looking for ways to help build and improve our business.
Everyone at APM cares about the end product. That helps everyone stay focused on working together to achieve the goal of home ownership for our borrowers.
Senior ownership could have easily sold off the company but instead went through arduous efforts to create one of the largest ESOP employee-owned companies in the industry. This passes the torch to the next generation of leaders and down to every employee who now have pride of ownership themselves.

Kind Lending
Santa Ana, CA
What do employees love most about this company?
Kind’s story of our origin isn’t typical. We’re built on a foundation of loyalty and a shared vision — a testament to what happens when dedicated employees and inspiring leadership come together. Many started this journey at Stearns Lending, and when the opportunity arose to reunite under Glenn’s leadership, the response was overwhelming. This mass homecoming wasn’t just about jobs; it spoke volumes about the long-term belief we held in Glenn and the culture he fostered.
Fast forward five years, and Kind is a vibrant blend of those who built the foundation & the fresh perspectives of new recruits. This unique mix isn’t just happenstance; it’s a core part of what makes us special. The veterans provide a wealth of experience & unwavering dedication, while newcomers bring innovative ideas and boundless enthusiasm. It’s this constant interplay of seasoned wisdom and youthful energy that fuels our passion and keeps us evolving.

The CEO (Glenn Stearns) and Chief Kindness Officer (Mindy Stearns) exemplify our culture of being fair and kind to everyone. You don’t have to agree with everything that is said, but you always treat each other with respect and kindness. This goes for all employees both internally and our business customers.
The C-Level Execs treat their employees with respect and this goes for everyone and not just the sales people that bring in the money.
I love how accepting and positive the company is. The management is so positive its like nothing I have ever experienced. There has not been a day working here where I am not praised for my work. Kind truly cares and that is impossible to find in the mortgage industry.
This company not only gives me the flexibility to manage life outside of work, but also provides the support and resources I need to perform my work well.
