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.

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.
