About Us

Align Lending is a locally-owned, independent mortgage brokerage committed to simplifying the journey to homeownership. With a deep understanding of Michigan's housing market, our team works exclusively for clients-not banks-ensuring that you receive the most competitive rates, the widest selection of loan programs, and a transparent, stress-free experience. Leveraging advanced AI tools, we can provide instant pre-approval decisions in minutes, cutting through the traditional paperwork bottleneck and giving you a clear financial roadmap before you even step into a house. Our dedication to personalized service means we take the time to listen, explain every option in plain language, and guide you through the entire process from the initial application to closing.

Founded by Samantha Shelton, a seasoned mortgage loan originator and industry award-winner, Align Lending prides itself on integrity, expertise, and community focus. Samantha's background in both consumer and investment lending allows us to serve first-time buyers, seasoned investors, and anyone seeking to refinance or tap into home equity. She has earned multiple accolades-including the AIME Hall of Fame, the Woman with Vision Award, and the NAMB Broker of the Year-reflecting her commitment to client success and industry leadership.

Our approach blends cutting-edge technology with a human touch: secure mobile document uploads, real-time status updates, and a dedicated broker ready to answer questions at any time. Whether you're looking for a low-interest rate, a short-term mortgage, or a cash-out refinance to fund renovations or debt consolidation, Align Lending provides clear communication, low fees, and a seamless loan process tailored to your unique financial situation. We believe that homeownership is a key pillar of long-term wealth and financial stability, and we work tirelessly to make that dream a reality for our clients.
