Mortgage Master Expands Its Princeton, N.J. Branch

Mortgage Master, a division of loanDepot, LLC, has announced the expansion of their Princeton, N.J. office

Mortgage Master, a division of loanDepot LLC, has announced the expansion of their Princeton, N.J. office. Ranked as Mortgage Master’s top branch in 2015, the Princeton office has successfully funded more than $1 billion in mortgages for local home owners since opening in 2010.

The Princeton office is currently led by branch manager and local resident Scott Kelsey (pictured right), a 17-year veteran of the home lending industry who was recently recognized as a Top 1% Mortgage Originator in America by an industry leading trade publication. He leads a team of eight highly experienced loan professionals. The expanded branch office is now able to even better serve its growing customer base and the vibrant Princeton market.

“Princeton home values have gone up four percent over the past year and Zillow predicts they will rise another 1.4 percent within the next year, a result of its robust growth, rebounding home prices, and historically low interest rates. As our local economy and housing market continues to grow, Mortgage Master is expanding to better support the lending needs of our community and surrounding neighborhoods,” said Kelsey. “Our new location is close to downtown, which gives potential borrowers easier access to our experienced team of lending professionals and full suite of loan products.”

The Princeton Mortgage Master team of lending professionals includes Kelsey, Linda Wolfenson, Terry Cooper, Tom Gates, Julie Saito-Gill, Matthew Fischman, Matthew Northup, Barry Ferrono and Branden Martin. This team is focused on delivering best-in-class customer service and flexible financing options for home purchase and refinance loans, as well as traditional, high balance, and jumbo loans.

With interest rates still near historic lows and the continued appreciation in Princeton’s median home values, the region is at the center of one of the largest home-buying markets in the state of New Jersey. Improving economic opportunities and new loan home construction throughout the area are expected to continue attracting potential homebuyers.
