Our Company History
Based in San Diego, California, Security One Lending launched its operation in November of 2006 as a California based retail mortgage lender. The Firm initially specialized in reverse mortgage loans from its handful of retail Loan Officers. The growth plan focused on the expansion of its existing retail loan origination channel through the development of company owned stores within Southern California and the acquisition of additional retail branches throughout the Western and Southeastern sections of the United States. Additionally, S1L has expanded its traditional forward mortgage retail production and the incremental evolution of its mortgage banking enterprise through the funding of its retail generated Conventional, FHA/VA Forward and its FHA Insured Reverse mortgage production.
In June of 2009 Security One Lending acquired Omni Reverse based in Mission Viejo California. Omni has been a leader in the reverse mortgage business since 2005. OMNI was founded in 2002 as a Government Lending Specialist. At that time, 3 founding partners came together to merge their collective years of experience with one principle in mind, to make the home ownership dream a reality by assisting customers with the most affordable home financing programs available. This principle was built upon the foundation of a commitment to service, education, and the most efficient processing in the industry.
Today, Security One Lending is currently licensed in 28 states. It operates with Retail branches located in the California region, Georgia, Missouri, Texas and South Carolina with over 100 loan originators. It also operates its mortgage banking platform, supporting the reverse retail, reverse wholesale, and forward retail origination channels from its San Diego Corporate Headquarters.
Security One Lending now offers a full range of loan products from its reverse mortgage programs to conventional and FHA forward mortgages. The Firm is positioned primarily as a retail-based mortgage banker and has experienced strong and consistent growth, distinguishing itself as one of the top reverse mortgage lenders in California.
