Stearns was founded on assisting people in their pursuit of success and acknowledging that success means various things to different people. They created Stearns Lending in 1989 with the bold goal of creating an atmosphere where its workers, realtor and builder partners, and clients could achieve great things. And they’ve been keen to invest in people since the beginning to develop strong, long-lasting communities.

They’re not scared to stand apart in an industry where businesses typically look and sound the same. From processing loans to marketing their services to communicating with consumers, mortgage lenders have done things the same way for decades. It doesn’t mean that the best way to be done is how things have always been done.
