Chris Schofield

Chris Schofield graduated from Babson College, earning his degree in 1994. His career in the consumer finance industry began immediately after graduation when he joined Forward Financial Company in Northboro, Massachusetts. At Forward, he honed his expertise in originating and closing loans for Manufactured Homes, Boats, and Recreational Vehicles throughout New England. Notably, he also played a pivotal role in developing consumer loan portfolios for various national client lenders.

In 2003, Chris took a significant leap by founding Priority Funding, LLC. He embarked on his journey by originating loans in central Massachusetts with a single client lender. Over the years, he has masterfully expanded the business into its current form. A testament to his vision and strategic acumen, Chris orchestrated Priority’s acquisition of Forward National Company’s assets in 2010 and the purchase of Teamwork Mortgage of Mesa, AZ, in 2021. Today, Priority Funding lends in 21 states across the United States and has become a solid player in the Manufactured Housing Finance Industry on the national stage.
