Background

About Alonzo Johnson

Over the past 20+ years, I have been in and around the mortgage banking and non-QM lending space, gaining valuable insights and experience across various roles. I began my career as a loan originator in 1998 and, by 2004, had built and led my own residential mortgage branch with 20 loan officers. During this time, I developed a deep understanding of lending strategies, market cycles, and the complexities of mortgage finance. The business thrived until the 2008 market crash, an experience that not only sharpened my resilience but also broadened my perspective on industry shifts and opportunities. While my career path has included ventures outside of mortgage lending, my foundation in the industry, combined with my ability to adapt to its evolving landscape, has allowed me to stay connected and engaged. Rejoining Angel Oak allows me to leverage this experience in non-QM lending, offering innovative mortgage solutions to clients who may not fit traditional lending criteria. I am eager to contribute to Angel Oak’s mission of providing flexible and responsible financing options, ensuring more individuals have the opportunity to achieve their homeownership dreams. If you’re interested in exploring innovative mortgage solutions or discussing how non-QM lending can help you or your clients, feel free to connect with me. I’m always open to conversations about industry trends, strategic partnerships, and opportunities to create impact in this evolving market.
