Some people were born to make a difference in the world—
to improve lives and transform industries.Are you one of those people...then we need you.We're Ameriquest Mortgage Company. If you watch the Super Bowl or NASCAR, read business journals or volunteer with children's organizations, you've probably heard of us. Everyone has an opinion, and we think it's important to do your homework about any prospective employer. That's why we invite you to consider a critical dimension to the Ameriquest story you can only hear from the inside...Ameriquest (founded in 1980 as Long Beach Savings and Loan), saw that mortgage consumers were being overlooked and American families were losing their homes in foreclosures. So we innovated a more flexible business model for them and developed loan options based on each situation.
And now were even more innovative. We reinvented our business model for the new millennium, broadened our products so we can offer more mortgage options to more people.Transforming our industry has helped us transform lives! The real reason why we exist in the first place can be summed up in two words—our customers. They're the everyday people we talk to every day. And for us, lending a hand to folks reaching for their American Dream is... well, all in a day's work.
