navigating today's economic climate, but especially so for a member
of the mortgage banking industry. The now 10-year-old mortgage
lender has grown throughout a decade of banking sector changes and
challenges and has thrived in the face of the meltdown of the most
recent twelve months by delivering mortgage loans to consumers with
personal, responsive service that gives consumers confidence that
they have secured the lowest possible mortgage rates with a loan
that fits their needs.
