The Liberty Team

On occasion as you progress in your career, you meet individuals who make it worthwhile to go to work every day: straightforward and experienced people you respect because you can count on them day in and day out.

Our customers consistently choose us because we insist on hiring and nourishing those kinds of people: authentic, caring, knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Many of the members of our team have been together with multiple employers for this reason.

We have a strong passion for both the details and the important strategic aspects of the mortgage business, which allow us to serve those who choose to do business with us. We inject care and pride into what we do, and that sets us apart!

Like Tiger Woods, we’ve chosen to reinvent our “swing” over the last few years. As our skills have grown, we have built a service-minded culture with defined communication and action steps throughout our process that allow us to uniquely, consistently hit the sweet spot on delivering loans.

Because we’ve been in your shoes for many years, we know that is what you expect. It’s what you’ll get if you choose to pursue a place on our team: a consistent reliable loan process that helps you keep commitments with your customers and referral partners, and so that you make more money with less stress.

Our goal is to find retail loan officers who share our values, people who think that service, communication and delivery are important, and bring them into our team. Our group offers innovative products, a stable technology platform, professional office space and hard-won knowledge of all aspects of the mortgage business.

In our world of impersonal big mortgage companies and faceless service, this team offer’s highly skilled lending professionals a whole different experience. Our passion for mortgage lending makes the difference!
