Why Deephaven Mortgage?


Deephaven was founded in 2012 to provide mortgages to the millions of Americans who, for one reason or another, are unable to qualify for a traditional, government-backed loan. Deephaven champions those mortgage borrowers whose independence, entrepreneurial drive and determination are often the very reason why they can’t qualify for a traditional loan.  Using ingenuity, supported by common-sense underwriting, we continuously and responsibly innovate new mortgage products and programs that put homeownership within reach of millions of borrowers and investors that need and deserve financing.

We offer our loans through a network of 1,000+ independent mortgage brokers.  We also buy loans from more than 200+ correspondent partners. Deephaven is headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina and is owned by Pretium, a highly specialized investment manager focused on real estate, mortgage finance and corporate debt.
