our v.i.p. history

Veteran-Founded. Customer-Focused. Community-Driven.

V.I.P. Mortgage Inc. headquarters building in Scottsdale Arizona

Founded on a Mission to Make Home Loans Personal
V.I.P. Mortgage, Inc. wasn’t launched as just another mortgage company – it was built on a mission. In 2006, Marine veteran Jay Barbour founded V.I.P. Mortgage in Scottsdale, Arizona, with two loan officers and one clear commitment: make the home loan process understandable, accessible, and personal for every borrower.

From Local Mortgage Lender to Nationwide Home Loan Provider
Since those early days, V.I.P. Mortgage has grown from a single branch into a full-service residential mortgage lender with more than 20 offices across multiple states. Today, our team of several hundred licensed loan originators helps thousands of families each year – funding several billion dollars in home purchase loans, refinance loans, and specialty mortgage products annually.

Despite that growth, V.I.P. Mortgage has stayed true to its founding values: honest guidance, transparent lending, and building lasting relationships – not just closing transactions.

Your Home. Your Future. Your VIP Experience.
