About Us

A little about how we began and where we are going.

43 Years. Still Growing. Still Hungry. Hartford Funding has been helping Americans finance homes since 1983 but don’t mistake tenure for complacency. We’re one of the most actively growing mortgage companies in the country, expanding into new markets and building new divisions because we refuse to stand still.

What hasn’t changed is our culture. We operate like a family because we are one. When you join Hartford Funding, you’re not inheriting a corporate bureaucracy. You’re joining a team that has each other’s backs, celebrates each other’s wins, and picks each other up when the market gets hard.

A Marketing Engine
Built Around Originators!

Most mortgage companies hand you flyers and call it marketing support. We don't.

Our dedicated marketing team works alongside you to build your personal brand, engage your local market and create a pipeline that works even when you’re not in the office. Social Media. Video Content. Email Campaigns. Realtor co-marketing. Lead generation strategy.

Growth Marketing Support

Most loan officers are great at their jobs but don’t have time to market themselves consistently. That’s exactly why we built a dedicated marketing support system around you. We help you show up where it matters: on social media, in your Realtor partners’ inboxes, and in your local market, so your name stays top of mind even when you’re head is down closing loans. The result? A stronger personal brand, deeper relationships, and a pipeline that doesn’t dry up between rate cycles.

White Glove Marketing Support

Too many loan officers are stuck using outdated tools, building their own content from scratch, and manually tracking a pipeline that should run itself. We fixed that. Hartford Funding’s technology stack is built around how modern LOs actually operate, with CRM enablement that keeps you organized, digital campaigns that run in the background, and content that goes out consistently whether you have time to think about it or not. Less busywork. More production.
