The SLG Way
Sovereign Lending Group isn’t just another mortgage company on the map. We are a family that believes in who we are as a whole and what we provide to the American people. SLG was founded by Dan Holtz and Joe Pirro in 2005. They partnered together to not just build another mortgage company but to build relationship with the community.

Integrity
Drive
SLG believes in the order to keep the ship running smoothly all must live by the core values.
Without being in alignment it would just be chaos and each man for himself. Family cares and drives the other members to succeed professionally and personally and that is what you will find here at SLG.
Integrity is one of the key components to separate this mortgage company from the others. It’s our fight to keep the American people informed of what opportunities they have and to help them make the best decision for their families.

Dan Holtz
Co-CEO and Co-Founder of Sovereign Lending Group began his mortgage career shortly after graduating from USC and quickly fell in love with the industry. “What greater way to give back to society than to help hard working Americans with one of the biggest investments they will make in their lifetime…their home.” In 2005 he embarked on a journey with his business partner Joe Pirro to change the mortgage industry and founded Sovereign Lending Group. Since 2012, Sovereign Lending Group has been recognized by Inc 5000 as one of the Fastest Growing Privately Held Company and has funded billions of dollars in home loans.
