Our Story
Global Mortgage Group offers real estate financing solutions to the U.K, Canada, Australia, France, Thailand and Hong Kong along with U.S. and connect our International Clients to our network of lenders globally. These include: Banks, Pension Funds, Investment Funds, Family Offices, Private Banks and private lenders around the world.
Our story takes us back over 3 years ago when the co-founders met in Singapore and became friends.
Both being Americans, we identified a serious problem in the world and embarked on a journey to fix it. That is to say, getting an overseas mortgage as a non-resident is extremely difficult, especially for U.S. property – the largest residential property market in the world and one of the most invested by foreigners.
In 2019, we raised Seed Funding from two Korean banks in addition to well-known investors around the world to use technology to disrupt this space. Our Demo-Day video is our Youtube Channel under “Global Mortgage Group”.
