Real Estate Mortgage Network Inc. (REMN) continues to expand its footprint in New Jersey with a new branch location in Monmouth County, N.J. Located in the Borough of Shrewsbury, this new REMN office will be led by veteran New Jersey mortgage professional Rene Stone, who joins the company in the role of branch manager. Stone will lead a team of nine associates in REMN’s new Shrewsbury office, providing area homebuyers, homeowners and real estate professionals with the high levels of quality and customer service that REMN is known for nationwide.
Rene Stone comes to REMN with nearly 30 years of mortgage industry experience, including time spent as a partner in a local lending firm and most recently, as VP with Aurora Financial Group. Stone’s team of local, experienced mortgage professionals is well versed in the intricacies of the current mortgage climate and the unique needs of Monmouth area residents. Associates joining Stone in the new REMN location include Michael Beagan, Dawn Benedickson, Tiffany Franco, Paula Frendel, William Green, George Monks, Brenda Valente, Roger Wilbert and Paul Winters.
“I chose to build a team with REMN in Monmouth County because the company is not only dedicated to customer service and speed in the mortgage industry, but they also have the unique range of lending products that cater to the different types of buyers and owners that live in our area,” said Stone. “Monmouth County has many longtime residents looking to refinance their mortgage and take advantage of the current low rates, as well as those looking to purchase vacation homes. In addition, there is also a large group of first-time buyers, trying to secure the dream of home ownership. For these buyers, REMN offers renovation mortgages, which bundle together a mortgage with the cost of home improvements and are a great solution for turning one of the many pre-existing properties on the market into dream homes.”
In business for more than 20 years, REMN combines the services of consumer facing retail branches with those of large-scale wholesale lending and online operations. In 2012, REMN opened more than 40 offices across the country, expanding its total number of branches to more than 80. REMN operates six fulfillment centers across the US, in addition to its online consumer direct channel, doing business as FinanceMyHome.com. REMN currently employs more than 1,200 associates and closed nearly $5 billion in home loans in 2012.
