About Pride Lending

We believe buying a home should be an exciting and accessible experience for everyone, not just those who fit the traditional mold. That’s why we’re here—to remove barriers, provide clear guidance, and make homeownership a reality for underserved communities.

Our Mission

At Pride Lending, we’re committed to fostering a culture of inclusivity, empathy, and empowerment. We’re on a mission to empower underserved communities and help them achieve homeownership through accessible and equitable mortgage solutions.

Everyone Is Welcome Here!

Everyone is Welcome Here means we celebrate differences and build trust through belonging. All People (employees, vendors and clients) should feel safe being their authentic selves. We recognize that people bring different challenges, privileges, and experiences, and we commit to consistent respect, inclusive communication, and equal service.

Do What's Right

Do What’s Right means we choose the honest path, especially when it’s hard. If we’re not the best option, we say so. If something doesn’t look right, we pause, investigate, and explain it. We don’t avoid uncomfortable conversations. We prioritize long-term trust over short-term revenue by making moral, compliant decisions, documenting clearly, and protecting the client’s outcome.

Master The Fundamentals

Master the Fundamentals means we stay excellent at what matters most. We don’t chase the newest shiny program at the expense of execution. We focus on the core loan products and core processes that drive the majority of our results, and we get relentlessly better at them through repetition, learning, and discipline.

Communication Champions

Communication Champions means every party in the transaction feels informed and supported. We communicate early, clearly, and often. Issues, wins, and next steps with the same calm candor. We don’t overstate, minimize, or hide the ball; we explain what’s happening, what it means, and what we need.

Pivot With Purpose

Pivot with Purpose means we stay flexible in a changing mortgage environment without being reactive. We pivot with a clear goal, plan, and success metric—adaptable, not chaotic. When challenges pop up, we go solution-first, not blame-first: we adjust quickly, then do the post-mortem to find the root cause and strengthen our SOPs, checklists, and training to prevent repeat issues.

Let's Go!

Let’s Go! is our rally cry. It means the team is aligned, energized, and committed to being the best of the best. We bring urgency, enthusiasm, and pride to our work— we use what we have, take the next right step, and improve as we go.

A Culture Built on Inclusivity & Impact

At Pride Lending, culture isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the foundation of everything we do. We’ve built a workplace where authenticity is celebrated, teamwork is valued, and every voice matters. In an environment that fosters collaboration, innovation, and advocacy, we’re not just securing home loans—we’re making a lasting impact.

Meet the Team Making It Happen

Pride Lending was founded with a simple yet powerful goal: to create an inclusive, client-focused mortgage experience. Our founder, Andrew Dort, started in the mortgage industry in 2015, working his way up from a front desk receptionist to leading a brokerage that puts people first.

What began as a vision quickly grew into a thriving company, expanding to serve more homebuyers and communities across the country. With a team committed to advocacy, transparency, and personalized service, we continue to break barriers and redefine what homeownership looks like for all.
