We’re excited to share a big milestone:
Stairway Mortgage is now a licensed direct lender.
What does that mean for you?
Faster closings. Better control. More flexibility.
Here’s how this unlocks new advantages for your refinance:
1. We Process In-House — So You’re Not Waiting on Banks
No more being at the mercy of third-party timelines.
As a direct lender, we handle processing, underwriting, and approvals ourselves.
That means:
- Fewer delays
- Clearer communication
- A smoother, faster closing process
2. More Creative Loan Structuring
Some big lenders have rigid boxes.
We don’t.
Now that we’re direct, we can:
- Offer more loan programs in-house
- Customize terms for your unique situation
- Say yes to scenarios banks would overlook
3. Lower Fees, Greater Savings
Cutting out the middleman allows us to reduce unnecessary costs.
Those savings? We pass them to you.
It’s another reason Stairway isn’t just smarter — it’s more affordable.
4. Still Independent. Still Advocating for You.
Becoming a direct lender didn’t change our values.
We still broker loans when it’s better for the client.
And we still act in your best interest — always.
Our mission is simple:
Help you build wealth through strategic lending.

Bottom Line
More control. More speed. More solutions.
That’s what it means to refinance with a direct lender who’s also your advocate.
We’re proud to offer the best of both worlds — and we’re just getting started.
Let’s build wisely. Your stairway starts here.
