MBA Mortgage

What MBA Mortgage does

MBA Mortgage Corporation is a privately held mortgage brokerage firm founded in 2005 and headquartered in Braintree, Massachusetts. The firm operates as a licensed mortgage broker ("We arrange but do not make loans"), arranging but not funding mortgages, and is veteran-owned and operated under President Bob Barlow. It serves individual home buyers, refinancing homeowners, military veterans and active-duty personnel, self-employed and 1099 borrowers, first-time buyers, and real estate investors across six licensed states (Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Maine, and Florida) from four office locations in Massachusetts (Braintree HQ plus Athol, Falmouth, Worcester, with an additional Quincy presence). The company emphasizes a relationship-led model, with referral partnerships with real estate agents and past clients supporting the inside-sales team of 40+ loan officers. The firm has received multiple DAV-related awards, including the 2023 Large Employer of the Year from the National Disabled American Veterans Organization.

The product suite spans fixed-rate, FHA, VA, jumbo, USDA, debt consolidation, sweat equity, rent-to-own, and first-time buyer programs, with a strategically newer Non-QM line (DSCR, bank statement, and 1099 loans) targeting self-employed and investor borrowers. The technology stack is conventional for the industry: Calyx Point loan origination software, the 1003app online application portal, Dropbox-based document upload, CRM, and NMLS Consumer Access for regulatory verification. There are no proprietary AI/ML capabilities, no patents, and no technology acquisitions disclosed; competitive differentiation is service- and community-driven rather than tech-driven.

Revenue is generated transactionally from origination fees charged to borrowers and commissions/spread income from the wholesale lenders whose products MBA Mortgage places. Pricing is quote-based, varies by borrower profile (credit score, down payment, property type), and is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is hybrid: inside sales through loan officers, real-estate-agent and past-client referrals, content marketing via the company blog and social channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Yelp), and brand-building via community events such as the DAV 5K run in Boston. MBA Mortgage is private, has no disclosed parent, no institutional funding, and reports no public revenue or ARR figures.
