Staff Accountant Originations

The Fay Group, which originated in 2008, is a full-scale real estate services company that offers mortgage servicing, property renovations, business purpose lending, insurance, and more to homeowners, investors, and clients nationwide. Fay handles a wide range of mortgage loan solutions for prospective homeowners with varying credit histories and also offers to refinance for existing mortgages.

The Fay Group is made up of separate business units offering a complete range of home ownership products and services that provide customers with solutions to navigate the challenges of home ownership while helping them build toward their long-term financial goals.

Fay Cares!
While others in our industry focus on collecting money-or else-we take a kinder, more humane approach when homeowners fall short," explains CEO Ed Fay. We consider the people behind those mortgages and work hard to give them the best chance possible to stay in their homes.

The Fay-Constructive Foundation was established to fulfill the philanthropic mission of Fay Financial employees to serve the communities in which they live and work. Over 80% of employees across Fay, Constructive, and GenStone affiliate companies make voluntary contributions to the Foundation. Each quarter, their contributions are donated to organizations focused on improving education opportunities, combating poverty, and supporting military service members and first responders.

Come join us on our journey to serve our customers and be the leader in our industry!
