Stockton Mortgage

What Stockton Mortgage does

Stockton Mortgage Corporation is a privately held, independent retail mortgage lender founded in 2001 by David Stockton and headquartered in Frankfort, Kentucky (NMLS 8259). The company originates home purchase mortgages, refinances, construction loans, renovation financing, and home equity lines of credit, with 50+ branch locations across 25+ active operating states and licensing in 30+ states. Its product portfolio spans the full agency and government-backed stack — Conventional, FHA, VA, USDA/RHS, and Jumbo — alongside specialty programs targeted at non-prime borrower segments: Bank Statement loans for self-employed borrowers, ITIN loans, Investor Cash Flow loans, Hobby Farm loans for rural acreage, Reverse Mortgages (HECM for Purchase), and land and renovation financing. The core technology stack consists of a digital origination portal (HomeHub), a servicing platform (LoanSphere powered by BKiconnect), an internal employee intranet (Stockton Connect), and iOS/Android mobile applications, all delivered on remote-work-enabled infrastructure. Distribution is multi-channel: direct-to-consumer retail branches with local loan officers, a consumer-direct digital application funnel, a Hybrid-TPO partnership program under which banks and credit unions white-label Stockton mortgage products while Stockton handles compliance, underwriting, and back-end processing, and builder/contractor partnerships for construction and renovation lending.

The business model is transaction-fee driven at origination, supplemented by recurring loan servicing revenue and partnership fees from the Hybrid-TPO channel. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by borrower credit profile, geography, and investor guidelines; rate buydown options and a 2027 Mortgage-Free Year Sweepstakes (running January-December 2026) are available promotional mechanisms. Customer segments are deliberately diversified: primary home buyers, refinancers, self-employed and ITIN borrowers, veterans/military, rural homebuyers, hobby farm buyers, real estate investors, home builders, and bank/credit union partners. The company is founder-owned with no disclosed external equity, funding rounds, or parent company. Management depth includes CXO functions covering Capital Markets, Finance, Operations, Production, Compliance, and Legal, plus dedicated Strategic Growth executive leadership. Notable operational events include a November 2025 lawsuit against Ixonia Bancshares (dba Novus Home Mortgage) and 18 former employees alleging client diversion and breach of contractual obligations, which the company claims caused branch closures and financial losses. The company has earned USA Today Top Workplaces recognition 2023-2025, is BBB Accredited, was ranked #11 nationally on USDA Rural Development's Top Guaranteed Rural Housing Lenders for 2026, and has been recognized as Best Bank Partner for 15 consecutive years.
