New American Funding Launches NAF Insurance Services to Offer Customers Comprehensive, Affordable Coverage

TUSTIN, Calif., Aug. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- New American Funding, a leading independent mortgage lender, is expanding its suite of services with the launch of NAF Insurance Services. This new affiliated insurance agency is designed to help customers secure the right coverage at a competitive price through a streamlined, personalized experience.

Insurance costs are rising sharply nationwide, with homeowners' insurance premiums increasing by an average of 24% in the past three years, reflecting a broader trend across multiple coverage types. In this challenging environment, customers are finding it increasingly difficult to secure the protection they need without breaking their budgets. NAF Insurance Services was created to address these growing concerns, connecting clients with the coverage they need at a competitive price.

NAF Insurance Services offers a full range of insurance products, including home, flood, wind, auto, boat, motorcycle, RV, pet, life, and disability insurance. By partnering with more than 50 trusted insurance carriers across all 50 states, the agency positions the company as a key player in the insurance space, empowering borrowers with expanded options and better pricing. NAF Insurance Services will also benefit from a strategic partnership with The Baldwin Group, one of the largest insurance distribution firms in the United States, providing access to valuable carrier relationships, industry expertise, technical support, and policy servicing.

"Rising insurance rates are challenging for many families, but they shouldn't have to settle for less protection or higher costs," said Jeff Kvalevog, Chief Strategy Officer for New American Funding and President of NAF Insurance Services. "With the support of The Baldwin Group, NAF Insurance Services is designed to simplify the client experience and help customers find coverage they can trust without added stress."

Every New American Funding loan officer, branch, and region will be paired with a dedicated NAF Insurance Advisor. This structure ensures customers can work directly with someone who understands their unique needs, making the process smoother and more efficient from start to finish. Dedicated advisors will also be available for Spanish-speaking clients, ensuring language is never a barrier to service or protection.

NAF Insurance Services is committed to supporting customers well beyond their loan closing. Whether a client has lost coverage, needs coverage updates, or may be overpaying for their coverages, NAF Insurance advisors will continue to provide guidance and assistance.

"We're excited to work with New American Funding in support of their personal insurance product offerings that protect homeowners and their most valuable investments," said David Smith, President and Executive Operating Officer of Mainstreet Insurance Solutions at The Baldwin Group. "This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to simplifying the homeownership journey and providing peace of mind."
