Michael Anderson founded Reliance Mortgage Company, Inc. in 1989 with 5 employees. He has worked as a Residential Mortgage Loan Originator ever since. In 1993, Mike directed the company in the origination of over $400 million in home mortgages. Today, Reliance Mortgages has closed over $8 billion under his direction. What separates Mike from other owners is the fact he remains active in originating mortgage loans. He has been the top originator at Reliance every year, competing with as many as 80 full time Residential Mortgage Loan Originators. Mike specializes in jumbo loans and out of the box loans, many times using his many sources to close difficult loans that, without his expertise, would not have closed. He has made every type of loan imaginable, ranging from $35,000 to $11,500,000. Mike received the Century 21 Top Listing Sales Person in a three-state region from 1971-1981 and was named the 1995 Prestigious Entrepreneur of the Year by INC. Magazine. He was listed in the Who’s Who American Businessmen of 2000, and was recently approved to teach Texas Real Estate Commission continuing education classes for realtors. For 16 years, Mike hosted the “Reliance Mortgage Real Estate Hour” broadcast show weekly on CBS Radio. Mike has also been a frequent guest speaker on other talk radio programs such as Bigger Pockets Podcast, hosting on many occasions.
