About us.

Founded in 2022, Clear Path Processing was built with one goal in mind: to help mortgage loan originators, brokers, and correspondent lenders reduce operational workload without adding more overhead.


We provide reliable outsourced loan processing for QM, Non-QM, and DSCR loans, helping files move efficiently from submission through closing.

We understand that your time is best spent building relationships, generating new business, and closing loans — not chasing conditions, coordinating vendors, or managing back-end operations.

That’s where we come in.

Our team brings deep mortgage processing experience, strong lender and underwriter relationships, and dedicated communication throughout the loan process.

With flexible, on-demand support and compensation only on funded loans, Clear Path Processing gives brokers added processing capacity without the burden of hiring, training, or carrying fixed payroll costs.
