Polaris Mortgage Group

What Polaris Mortgage Group does

Polaris Mortgage Group, LLC is a small, founder-owned residential mortgage brokerage founded in 2004 by Jonathan W. Tremblay and headquartered in Thompson, Connecticut. The firm serves home buyers, refinancers, and custom home builders across Northeast Connecticut and the Worcester, Massachusetts corridor, operating under NMLS #2981. Polaris originates FHA, VA, USDA, and Conventional purchase mortgages, refinances, and specialized construction lending products including Construction-to-Permanent and Construction-Only loans. Loan application intake is handled through the third-party Blink.mortgage platform embedded in the firm website; Polaris does not develop or own origination technology.

The business runs as a personal-relationship-driven brokerage. The identified team comprises owner-operator Jonathan W. Tremblay (Owner / Mortgage Planner) and Sherry Greene (Mortgage Loan Officer with 22 years of banking experience). Customer acquisition relies on an email newsletter, content marketing, and a Refer-a-Friend program rather than paid media or a branch network. Pricing is quoted on a per-customer basis, and revenue is generated from origination fees and lender-paid compensation on closed loans. There is no indication of external funding, branch expansion, M&A activity, or disclosed origination volume.
