About Faris Faraj

I believe the mortgage business is about more than rates and closings — it\'s about people, platforms, and building something that lasts.At Premier Lending, we don’t believe in rank — we believe in what’s best for the client, and what’s best for the mission. The best idea wins. Period. No ego, no titles — just aligned leadership, open execution, and shared ownership.We also don’t believe in revolving doors. You’re not just another number here.We go deep with our people — investing time, attention, and resources to help them grow brands, build real businesses, and create true freedom. We’d rather go deeper with a few than shallow with many.That’s why I’m focused on elevating originators into mortgage entrepreneurs — professionals who lead with clarity, scale with intention, and help families turn homeownership into lasting wealth.We’re building one of the most transparent mortgage companies in the country — publicly publishing our margins, supporting personal brand development, and creating a platform where people grow because they give.Zig Ziglar said it best:“You can have everything in life you want, if you just help enough other people get what they want.”That’s the heartbeat of everything I do.Outside of work, I’m a husband, father of two, track-day car guy, and someone who loves cooking and entertaining friends. Business is fun — but relationships are forever.If you’re serious about thinking bigger, leading without ego, and building something that truly matters — let’s connect.
