Founded in 1989 by Glenn Stearns, Stearns Lending, LLC grew to become one of the largest privately-held mortgage lenders in the United States. The company offered a comprehensive range of mortgage solutions, including conventional, FHA, VA, and jumbo loans, through its retail, wholesale, and correspondent lending channels. Headquartered in California, Stearns was known for its nationwide presence and focus on providing a streamlined loan process. In 2021, in a major industry consolidation, the company's assets and operations were acquired by Guaranteed Rate, Inc., and Stearns Lending ceased to operate as an independent entity.
