A History of Doing the Right Thing

Ameriquest Mortgage is almost a quarter of a century old. It began as Long Beach Savings and Loan in Long Beach, California in 1980 and in 1997 it changed its name to Ameriquest Mortgage Company. After nearly a quarter of a century of phenomenal growth Ameriquest Mortgage Company has made more than a billion dollars in Mortgage loans and is fully recognized by Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac as well as being a non-supervised mortgagee of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Ameriquest has grown from being a small savings and loan in Long Beach California to being one of the largest mortgage lenders in the United States, and it has done so by following one simple, overriding philosophy: Do the Right Thing.

What does Do The Right Thing Mean? For one thing it means looking at every customer as an individual and not as a number or a statistic. It means doing whatever you can to find a way to make a loan for a customer, even if that customer’s situation does not fit into some nice, safe mold. It means going the extra mile, working late if necessary to make sure that when you tell a customer something will be done that it actually is done – and done right.

Today Ameriquest makes home loans in all but four states (New Mexico, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia). This means that Ameriquest has nationwide resources and can quickly solve almost any problem.

The loans at Ameriquest are easier to qualify for than the loans at most other lenders. That is a direct reflection of their commitment to Do The Right Thing. In most cases you can pre-qualify for an Ameriquest loan in just 24 short hours and your loan will be funded in just a few days.

Ameriquest has grown on a solid foundation of respect for their customers, fairness, and an overwhelming desire to benefit every community which they serve.
