About Seth Van Essen
As a Colorado native, I’ve always appreciated the unique blend of city life and mountain adventure this state has to offer. I’m a husband, a proud dad of twins, a lifelong learner, a teacher at heart, and someone who’s passionate about giving back through nonprofit work. I love to travel, but Colorado will always be home.
With nearly 15 years in the lending industry, I approach every client relationship as more than just a transaction—it's about being a trusted advisor for the long haul. Whether you're purchasing your first home or growing an investment portfolio, I specialize in crafting strategies tailored to your specific goals.
Personally, I’ve invested in a wide range of real estate ventures including fix-and-flips, short-term rentals (STRs), mid-term rentals (MTRs), and long-term holds. I believe in real estate as a powerful tool for building long-term wealth, and I’m passionate about helping others make confident, informed decisions that align with their financial future.
With our cutting-edge technology and access to over 2,000 loan products, we’re equipped to help you find the right solution. Backed by a dedicated local team that delivers hands-on care, we take your success personally—because you're not just a client, you're part of our community.

Pathway to HomeOwnership
Are you Ready?
At New American Funding, we believe that every person deserves a clear path to achieving their dream of homeownership. So, we created the Pathway to Homeownership initiative to alleviate some of your financial worries.
What is the Pathway to
Homeownership Initiative?
The Pathway to Homeownership offers qualified borrowers in select areas up to $6,000 in assistance. These funds are not a loan that needs to be repaid and are available to first-time homebuyers in designated areas.
This program can also potentially be combined with other down payment assistance programs to offer you even more support as you build the life of your dreams.
