Mortgage Equity Partners

Mortgage Equity Partners is an independent mortgage company headquartered in Lynnfield and one of the largest of its kind based in Massachusetts. It helps borrowers ranging from first-time homebuyers to seasoned real estate investors purchase homes and refinance existing loans. The company pairs a digital application that speeds up the process with a dedicated loan officer who guides each client and explains the details along the way.

Sean Riley founded the company in 2009, and it has since grown to more than 14 branch locations. Loan officers, underwriters and processors work toward a shared goal of closing loans on time and with as little stress as possible. The team stresses clear, timely communication and is reachable outside of standard banker’s hours. A free homebuyer’s guide and market updates help buyers understand the process before they apply.
