The financing we provide makes a positive impact, not just on the American economy but also on the lives and dreams of the families we serve. Our technology enabled solutions allow us to serve more consumers at scale and represents the future of housing finance.

We’re proud of the number of American families who have been able to purchase or rent quality homes — with a sense of well-being and security — because Redwood has been there.

As we cast our gaze forward to an economy recovering from the Covid-19 pandemic, we know the U.S. housing finance system is entering a period of transition. The role of the federal government in the market for single-family and multifamily mortgages is in the biggest state of flux we have seen in decades. More than a decade removed from the last financial crisis, which led to the Government Sponsored Enterprises (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) entering into conservatorship, the constellation of housing finance entities, private sector and government, are destined to orbit differently than they ever have before.

With over 25 years of providing liquidity to the housing market, we advocate for policies we believe will benefit American consumers and strengthen the housing finance system.
