we’re hiring the best in the business. full stop. if that’s you, it’s time to raise your hand.

a note from
our ceo

I’m from a small town in East Texas where hard work is a part of life, and I took that hard work into the mortgage industry 23 years ago, used that to grow the business and build relationships over time and it got us where we are today.

We’re a company that’s build to last — and that starts with hiring the right people. Not taking on everyone that has an LO license, but taking on the right ones.

Our main mission is that we give you the absolute best experience that you can get from any lender in the nation. You can then turn around and give the absolute best mortgage experience to your buyers, your realtors and your builders. It’s as simple as that.

Loan Officers deserve more than just a login and a pat on the back. What they really need is somebody that has their back — people that care, that have the experience, that are in the trenches with them to get the job done. When we deliver on our promises to them, Loan Officers can then deliver on the promises they make out to the field: to their buyers, to their agents, to their builders.

“I have increased my volume since joining Pilgrim. A lot of that is due to leadership, products and marketing, which has allowed me to focus on new business instead of sitting in the office processing loans.”

Dino Lumbala
Loan Officer | Houston, TX

“I’ve been in this business a long time, and I’ve never had a partner like Pilgrim. Wes leads with vision and integrity—and that filters down through every corner of the company. Year after year, my business has grown, and I’ve never felt more supported or more confident in what I’m building.”
