Wholesale Growth Cliffco has moved to expand its wholesale channel under a new Wholesale Sales Director, signaling a strategic pivot to third-party origination (TPO). This creates a strong opening for partnerships with brokers, correspondents, and fintech-led platforms seeking diverse product access and reliable turn times, especially for non-QM and self-employed programs.

Non QM Focus Cliffco's product suite includes self-employed bank statement programs, asset depletion loans, no income mortgages, and other non-QM options, serving borrowers with nontraditional profiles. This presents opportunities to partner with CPA networks, financial planners, and brokers who serve self-employed clients, offering them a broad menu and faster approvals.

In House Processing In-house processors and underwriters along with free credit checks and pre-approvals create a borrower-centric experience and faster closing timelines, which can be a key differentiator when courting brokers and builders who value speed and reliability.

Local Community Long-standing local presence and family-centric branding can be leveraged to build relationships with community-based real estate agents, credit unions, and local developers, aiding market penetration in the NY metro area.

Geographic Growth Recent expansion into Brooklyn in 2018 and ongoing wholesale/TPO growth indicate an emphasis on expanding regional footprints; this offers cross-market opportunities in the NY tri-state region and potential partnerships with regional lenders or referral networks.
