LendFriend Home Loans, an Austin-based mortgage lender, announced today its new office in north Austin, located at 11000 North Mopac Expressway. The 16,200-square-foot facility will support its more than 65 current employees and create new opportunities to expand LendFriend’s team.

The move to a larger office comes on the heels of a year of record growth for LendFriend, which surpassed $376 million in funded loan volume in 2021. 2021 also saw LendFriend open an office in Jacksonville, Florida, with expansion into more markets planned by the end of 2022.

“We started LendFriend with a unique vision for how mortgage lending could prioritize customer experience, affordable rates and a community-driven mentality in equal measure,” said Michael Bernstein, LendFriend’s Austin branch manager and co-founder. “That vision has helped thousands of people find their dream homes while allowing LendFriend to deepen its roots in the communities in which we do business. We’re more committed than ever to making the home buying process easier—and friendlier—for people looking to establish roots in Austin or make a move in 2022.”

Founded in 2018 by brothers Eric and Michael Bernstein, LendFriend has grown into a competitive force in Austin’s mortgage lending community. Following a record year of home buying activity that is projected to continue through 2022, the Bernstein brothers and entire LendFriend team are focused on creating a pain-free purchasing experience for the city’s growing population of homeowners.

“We couldn’t have achieved these levels of growth without the LendFriend team members who show up every day ready to help people find a great home,” said Eric Bernstein, LendFriend’s president. “We’re thrilled that LendFriend’s growth means we can keep expanding to bring in more employees who are obsessed with providing Austinites with a customer-centric homebuying experience.”

LendFriend is actively seeking new employees to maintain their growth trajectory in 2022. LendFriend is hiring at least 15 to 20 mortgage and sales professionals in Austin this year with an emphasis on licensed loan officers and loan officer assistants, business development associates and operations.
