Our Story
A journey of resilience, innovation, and transparency.
1990s: A Journey That Started With Hard Work
Thuan Nguyen immigrates to the United States, works multiple jobs, learns English, and later earns degrees in Business and Information Systems from UC Berkeley.
His determination and grit become the foundation of everything Loan Factory stands for.
2006: Loan Factory Is Founded
After experiencing how confusing and opaque the mortgage process could be, Thuan launches Loan Factory with a simple mission: make mortgages clearer, fairer, and easier for everyday people.
2010 - 2012: Growing Through Trust
Loan Factory expands steadily through referrals and word-of-mouth. Borrowers appreciate honest guidance, transparent pricing, and communication that actually makes sense.
2013 - TERA Begins
Frustrated with outdated industry systems, Thuan starts building TERA — a unified platform designed to automate pricing, streamline documents, and modernize how borrowers and Loan Officers work.
2016 – 2019: Scaling Technology and Operations
Loan Factory grows across multiple states while TERA evolves into a faster, smarter, more efficient workflow engine. Technology and transparency become the core of our identity.
2020 - 2021: A Historic Breakthrough
Thuan Nguyen becomes the #1 Loan Officer in the United States, closing more than $2 billion in loan volume in a single year — a milestone never achieved before in the industry.
This moment propels Loan Factory into national visibility and fuels rapid expansion.
