In early 2002, Luis Farago was the branch manager in Gaithersburg, MD for a major mortgage company based in Tampa, Florida. During this time, he dreamed of one day starting his own mortgage company. Empire Financial may have started small, occupying office space in the top floor of a townhouse, but it quickly began to grow as Luis realized his niche in the Hispanic community.
As market share grew, so did Empire. Eventually, we outgrew our townhouse office space and moved to larger quarters. Today, we are headquartered in Rockville, Maryland.
Empire is a rapidly growing, Hispanic-owned and operated company with 35 employees and processing over $30 million in loans each month. We are currently licensed in Maryland, Virginia, and DC.
