About The Mortgage Exchange.

What we are, precisely.

The company is CME Lending Group LLC, an Indiana limited liability company formed in 2014 and trading as The Mortgage Exchange. It is headquartered in Chesterton, Indiana, with offices across the Midwest and the South.

The common ones — conventional, FHA, VA, USDA and jumbo — alongside physician loans, down payment assistance, bank statement and 1099 programs for the self-employed, DSCR and fix-and-flip for investors, renovation and construction, manufactured housing, non-warrantable condos, ITIN, foreign national, bridge loans, HELOCs and reverse mortgages.

That breadth is the point. A borrower who has been turned away somewhere else usually still has a path here. When they do not, we say so quickly rather than stringing it out.

How we are different from a big lender.

Honestly? Scale is not our advantage and we will not pretend it is. What we have is that the underwriter, the processor and the loan officer on your file all work for the same nine-office company, and often in the same building. A condition that takes days to clarify at a national call center usually gets answered here the same afternoon.

You also get a named person with a direct line, from the first conversation to the closing table. That is not a slogan; it is just how a company this size works.
