When you’re making decisions about your home and your retirement, the company behind the products matters. Not just what they offer—but how they work, how they listen, and how they show up when the conversation gets complicated.
Recently, Longbridge Financial was named a 2026 Scotsman Guide Top Workplace, a recognition given to mortgage companies known for strong employee engagement, collaboration, and workplace culture.
While the designation focuses on the employee experience, it’s relevant to homeowners for a simple reason: teams that feel supported and aligned are better equipped to guide people through important financial decisions—especially those involving home equity in retirement.
A People-First Culture, Recognized
The Scotsman Guide Top Workplace recognition is based on how employees experience their day-to-day work—whether they feel connected to their roles, supported by leadership, and able to do meaningful work.
At Longbridge, that translates into a consistent focus on helping older homeowners understand their options and make informed decisions about using home equity. We strive to make conversations with our customers educational, clear, and paced around individual goals—not rushed or transactional.
“Being named a 2026 Scotsman Guide Top Workplace is a testament to the people who drive our mission forward every single day,” noted Longbridge Financial CEO Chris Mayer, PhD. “Our culture enables us to challenge convention and help shape the future of home equity solutions for older homeowners.”
Innovation Rooted in Responsibility
This recognition comes as Longbridge continues to build and refine solutions designed specifically for homeowners age 62 and older, including enhancements to our Platinum by Longbridge suite of reverse mortgage options and the expansion of HELOC For Seniors®, the first-of-its-kind home equity line of credit (HELOC) we designed specifically for older homeowners.
“Our people are central to our ability to innovate and grow,” said Melissa Macerato, Chief Revenue & Marketing Officer at Longbridge Financial. “This recognition reinforces that Longbridge is a place where collaboration, creativity, and purpose come together.”
If you’re exploring ways to access your home equity to improve your cash flow, manage expenses, or create more flexibility in retirement, working with a lender recognized for its culture can make a real difference.
As retirement planning and housing wealth continue to evolve, Longbridge Financial remains focused on responsible innovation, education, and outcomes that support confidence in retirement.
Being named a 2026 Scotsman Guide Top Workplace reinforces what we strive to deliver every day: a better experience for the people we serve.
