Being in the mortgage industry means I get to help others achieve the dream of homeownership. There's nothing I love more than finding a better rate than our competitors, providing my client with the right loan and using our industry-leading technology to help them close quickly. I especially enjoy my role because of the people that I get to work with. We get to make serious impacts on people's lives, whether it be by saving them money or allowing them to buy an investment home to finalize their financial goals and plans that they have worked so hard to achieve. While both of those are great reasons to be in the industry, there is nothing more rewarding then seeing a homebuyer who was stressed and anxious about the purchase of a home, being handed the keys at closing. In addition, I take considerable pride adhering to our core values, especially when it comes to bias to action. This allows me to try and stay ahead of any potential issues that arise during the loan process. Everything that is vetted and verified upfront is one less issue that could affect the ability of my borrower to obtain this home.

Through my teaching work I have become very comfortable explaining complex concepts and can use that experience to make your loan as simple as possible and make sure you understand every step of the process. This may be the biggest purchase of your life and it only makes sense that you should understand every step!

There are a lot of options for your mortgage. These include ways to make your loan less expensive upfront or in the long term, options for veterans, options for borrowers over the age of 62, options for lower-income borrowers and many, many others. OriginPoint has access to all of these programs and more, and my goal is to make you feel comfortable with whichever program we choose and explain what we're doing together to make the process as simple and easy as possible.

I've been a mortgage lender for over 22 years and I can't think of anything else I'd rather do! I love helping clients buy a home, whether it's their first one or fifth one. I love refinancing my clients into a better rate or loan program to fit their current financial needs. I love that what I do is help people!




I take pride in providing a thorough overview of the mortgage process, how rates work, what to expect for closing costs and more. Once we have a live loan I provide updates every Tuesday and Friday and sometimes in between, communication is key to keeping everyone comfortable and informed. I truly care about every client and strive to make the clunky mortgage process as fun and transparent as possible.




Outside of work, I enjoy playing pickleball, golfing, gardening and spending time with our family and friends.

Matt Barba at Origin Point (NMLS #949932)

Whether you reside here in New England currently or are hoping to move to NH, MA, or ME in the future – I am at your disposal regarding anything Mortgage & finance related. I've been blessed with the opportunity to help countless home-buyers realize their lifelong dream of home-ownership because they know & trust that I am going to offer the most efficient & affordable approach to financing their home purchase, and the best client experience for homebuyers here in the New England states.




At OriginPoint, we treat each customer as an individual, not a number. We don't place you into a loan profile formula created by the banking industry. We use "common sense" and will help you obtain the best loan possible. Our interest rates are nearly a full point less than the industry standard & our process is unmatched.




My industry experience is supported & sustained by continued yearly education and consistent professional dexterity. I'm a dedicated mortgage professional that clients & referral partners can count on with their home-buying and refinancing goals, and I would consider it an honor to assist you with your Home Loan needs as well.




**Specialties**: Mortgages, lending, financial Services, real estate, management, communications, training and development, and creative direction.
