Join the Thiry Mortgage Group · Fairway Home Mortgage
Speed. In every department. Now accelerated by AI.
Fairway wrote Speed to respond into its official core values — then built every department around it. Now the fastest platform in the industry is leading it in AI, too. Built to accelerate the originator. Never to replace you.
Nobody will know you're looking. That's the whole point.
Nick leads the Thiry Mortgage Group at Fairway Home Mortgage in Eden Prairie, MN. His promise to anyone considering a move: confidential conversations, zero pressure, and an honest look at whether the team is your fit.
The thesis
Speed isn’t a feature here. It’s the operating system.
Most lenders talk about service. Fairway wrote “Speed to respond” into its official core values — #5, authored by employees — and then built every department around it. AI didn’t create Fairway’s speed. It strapped a rocket to it.
Fairway Advantage® pre-approvals are fully underwritten before your borrower shops — so offers move at cash speed, and listing agents call you back first.
An ops machine tuned for turn time — files move because the whole pipeline is built to keep them moving, not to queue them.
Landing pages, campaigns, and branded reports in days — sometimes minutes — not quarters. Compliance pre-flight included, so speed never costs you risk.
FairwayLeads are engaged the moment they arrive — text, email, and phone — and Brianna, the AI assistant, moves conversations forward while you close.
Switching companies is where momentum goes to die — so Fairway engineered onboarding to protect your pipeline and get you back to funding fast.
When Texas flooded, Fairway committed $1,000,000 within days — then publicly challenged the industry to keep up. Speed isn’t just how Fairway lends. It’s how Fairway shows up.
AI makes fast faster
Speed built Fairway. AI is making it faster.
Fairway was fast before AI existed — “Speed to respond” is core value #5 — verbatim, written by employees. Now Fairway builds on partnerships with both Anthropic and OpenAI, and the AI layer compounds that speed in every department. The promise still holds: AI won’t replace loan officers — loan officers with AI will replace loan officers without it. Your expertise, plus AI speed, equals more closings — same you.

Hear it straight
The story — and why originators keep making the move
Marketing at speed
Your brand, shipped in days — not quarters
Most originators are their own unpaid marketing department, moving at nights-and-weekends pace. At Fairway, marketing is infrastructure — creative, compliant, always on, and fast.
A real marketing department
In-house creative — design, social, events, campaign calendars — that keeps your brand alive without you lifting a finger.
Your personal brand, productized
Sites, landing pages, listing launches, co-branded pieces — compliance-checked before anything ships.
Content that compounds
Video, social, and education content built around you — so borrowers and agents already know you before the first call.
Compliance as a feature
Marketing pre-flight checks catch disclosure issues before they ship — you get speed without the risk.

The operating system
Ten core values. Written by employees, not consultants.
Fairway's values were crafted with employee input — what the team itself said mattered. They decide internal awards, they shape hiring, #3 is official policy — and #5 is the reason this entire section is about speed.
Core value #3
Have fun. We're serious about it.
Fairway's ten core values were written with employee input — and the third one, in a multi-billion-dollar mortgage company's official value system, is have fun. So we built an arcade game into our recruiting section. Naturally.
Who you'd really be joining
Loans are what we do. Not who we are.
Speed here isn't just an operations metric. Fairway runs two nonprofits and moves first when disaster strikes — $1M committed within days, twice — then publicly challenges the rest of the industry to match its pace.
