Meet Your Mortgage Professional

Steve Thorne

I work on a Mortgage Lending Team with my wife, Eleanor Thorne. We are both licensed Loan Officers with the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and the NC Commissioner of Banks. As Serial entrepreneurs, uniquely native to the Raleigh Area, we see ourselves differently than most “street” loan officers. We are Economics Junkies, and second-generation mortgage lenders. We keep Bond Market Dashboards open all day so that we can better advise our clients about Mortgage Rates.

We’ve both been involved in many stages of Mortgage Lending for more than 25 years. There is a vision that drives us to do what we do. Simply put, we want to help you create the financial strategy that allows you to live life to the fullest. That requires us to work with you, as we establish your goals, define priorities and determine what’s most important to your financial picture.

We believe Real Estate is the BEST Investment most people can make, especially in NC. We currently own multiple residential properties in North Carolina. We believe Real Estate Investments can change your family’s financial legacy, and build real wealth spanning generations.

Not only are we experienced in mortgage lending, as three-time recipients of the Triangle Business Journal’s Fast 50 Award, we act as mentors and advisers for our referral partners. Building successful teams, and sharing proven methods for accountability attract other successful entrepreneurs to us.

We want to help you grow your family’s vision for success! Call us at (919) 649-5058 so we can get started!

What Our Clients Say

Great team and made the purchase of my house really easy.
– James Sands

I am incredibly grateful to Paul and his team for their exceptional work on my mortgage. This is one of several mortgages I’ve done with Paul and his team, and each experience has been flawless from the very beginning. Paul and his team are diligent, ensuring that every detail—from the numbers to the paperwork—is 100% correct the first time. They keep me informed throughout the entire process and are careful not to request things at the last minute, which helps tremendously in reducing stress during the hectic times of moving and buying a home. Their clear communication, attention to detail, and efficiency are unmatched. I’ve been so impressed by their work and look forward to partnering with them again in the future.
– Holly N
