Led by Stanley C. Middleman, CEO
Freedom Mortgage earned Most Loved Workplace® certification through consistently high scores on the Love of Workplace Index (LOWI), the psychometric instrument developed by Best Practice Institute measuring emotional connectedness between employees and their organization. As the #1 VA and #1 FHA lender in the U.S., Freedom Mortgage has built a culture where its more than 10,000 team members feel genuinely invested in the company's mission of fostering homeownership for all Americans.
Across the five SPARK dimensions — Systemic Collaboration, Positive Vision for the Future, Alignment of Values, Respect, and Killer Achievement — Freedom Mortgage employees demonstrate the deep organizational commitment that distinguishes certified Most Loved Workplaces from the broader financial services market. Founded in 1990 by Stanley C. Middleman and headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, the company's recognition in Newsweek's 2021 Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces reflects a culture built on purpose, not policy.
"At Freedom, we want everyone to feel connected and love what they do. That's why we focus on supporting our people and providing the tools they need to succeed." — Stanley C. Middleman, Founder & CEO, Freedom Mortgage
