GSF Mortgage Announces Further Expansion Into the Sunshine State

Feb 19, 2016
While the past week has presented a surplus amount of tragic news on Orlando, this Florida market can enjoy some positive local developments

GSF Mortgage has announced its expansion with a new mortgage loan origination team in Punta Gorda, Fla. Leading the team is Branch Manager Rodney Massie, joined by Mortgage Loan Originators Christina Napoleon, Kirk Velez and Kym Citera; Business Development Manager Josh Bartlett; Processor Carla Little; and Administrative Assistant Candice Day.

The team plans to build up the GSF Mortgage brand in the area by offering products and services that others cannot. The one time close construction loan will be a big part of their strategy to attract local builders. They plan to create a strong presence in the North Port area where Citera is located.

“Rodney Massie is a seasoned mortgage professional I have had the pleasure of knowing for 20 years. I am elated that he has chosen to bring his branch to GSF and look forward to many years of success,” said GSF Mortgage Area Manager Ruth Watkins.
