Rick Arvielo is the CEO, President and co-founder of New American Funding. With Rick’s leadership and guidance, New American Funding has grown from a small mortgage company, into a Fannie Mae Seller/Servicer, FHA Direct Endorsement – HUD Approved, and VA Automatic mortgage lender. Rick, an entrepreneur from the start, began his career with the launch of Paradon Industries Inc., parent company of The Styles Check Company, in 1983. Here he acted as head of both marketing and technology. The Styles Check Company became the largest check affinity printer in the United States before Rick and partners sold the company in 1996. In 2001, Rick saw an opportunity in the mortgage industry and decided to join New American Financial, a Southern California mortgage company. During his time at New American Financial, Rick was able to apply his marketing and technology expertise to the mortgage world. By 2003, Rick recognized that his knowledge in direct response marketing gave him a unique strength and an edge in the mortgage industry. After deciding to walk away from New American Financial, Rick, along with his wife Patty, launched New American Funding. New American Funding was born from Rick’s vision of a mortgage company that would operate as a proficient call center, focused on good pricing and fast home loan closes. The company has grown to include a Realtor-based Lending Division, a Wholesale Lending Division, and an approved Fannie Mae Seller/Servicer. Today, Rick continues to lead and inspire his team with the vision of a mortgage company centered on good pricing, fast closes, and excellent customer service. As a leader in the industry, Rick is involved in several member associations that play a vital role in the current and future states of mortgage banking.
