The Latest: 2023 Press Releases & News
We’re excited to show what we have accomplished this year, especially with expansion into the new territories, including the states of Delaware, Louisiana, Maine, and Ohio, taking our geographic footprint to 26 states. Griffin Funding saw massive growth over the last year, making the list of the fastest-growing privately held companies.
Bill Lyons, our President and CEO, attributes it to his team. “We focus on being talent-driven and team-first. Human capital is our No. 1 asset next to our loyal client base. Some mortgage companies get stuck in the trap of focusing on growth first and talent second. If you can focus on talent first, then the growth will be more natural and less forced.”
Here are some releases and articles that were written about us just in 2023 alone:
