New American Funding, a prominent independent mortgage lender, has recently announced its strategic partnership with the esteemed Mullinix Mortgage Group. This collaboration aims to enhance and expand New American Funding's operations in the Carolinas, marking a pivotal moment in the company’s growth strategy.

The Mullinix Mortgage Group, under the leadership of Will Mullinix, has a remarkable track record, having originated over $2 billion in mortgages throughout his illustrious 20-year career in the industry. Licensed to operate in multiple states including North Carolina, South Carolina, Maryland, Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida, Mullinix's focus is primarily on residential purchases and refinancing. This extensive coverage reflects the group's commitment to serving homebuyers effectively across several regions.

Recognized as the #1 Originator in North Carolina by loan volume according to the Scotsman Guide for two consecutive years, 2025 and 2026, Mullinix's reputation as a top-tier mortgage professional speaks volumes. His ranking as #33 nationwide further solidifies his standing in the industry. Will expressed his enthusiasm for joining New American Funding by stating, "New American Funding has a mom-and-pop feel, but with a larger, expansive product platform and national reach. There’s also a strong culture fit, and it was just the right move for us and our clients."

With offices based in Charlotte and Wrightsville Beach, N.C., the Mullinix Mortgage Group is renowned for its high level of professionalism and exceptional customer service. Homebuyers benefit from their streamlined digital processes and quick loan turnaround times, making the experience as efficient as possible.

The transition to New American Funding will not only bring Mullinix and his expertise to a larger audience but also include his entire support team and loan officers who will accompany him to the new platform. Notable members such as Taylor Linde, Morgan Wise, Lenzi Moore, Don Walker, and Marty Pizzo will also join in this new venture.

Will Mullinix's background is closely tied to the Carolinas where he was born and raised in Wilmington before relocating to Charlotte with his family. His deep local ties and extensive market insight offer homebuyers in the region a trusted resource to navigate their mortgage needs.

Pat Bolan, chief production officer at New American Funding, praised Mullinix by saying, "Will Mullinix is the top-producing loan officer in North Carolina, and he got there by putting his clients first every single day. He came to New American Funding to build and scale the Mullinix Mortgage Group, and we have the platform, support, and technology to help him do exactly that."

As the mortgage industry continues to evolve, New American Funding is on the brink of rolling out its new AI-native Loan Origination System (LOS) named Vesta, set to launch in 2027. This technological advancement aims to further streamline the mortgage processing for all team members and clients involved.

In conclusion, the union of New American Funding and the Mullinix Mortgage Group is poised to greatly enhance the homebuying experience across the Carolinas.
