New American Funding has announced that Anthony Ramirez has been selected to lead San Diego, Calif., as area sales manager, where his primary responsibility is establishing a strong team of new loan originators, while leading current originators to expand their teams, develop their leadership skills and generate more loan volume.
Ramirez brings to the role a solid background of 13 years of mortgage experience with a focus on originating residential purchase loans. He funded $18 million his first year in lending and for the past five years worked with a large independent mortgage lender in a dual capacity as San Diego area manager and branch manager at one of its highest-ranking branches nationwide.
“I’m elated about bringing my passion for the mortgage industry to New American Funding, and I welcome the potential this new opportunity offers,” said Ramirez. “After managing one of the top branches in the country, I’ve seen what it takes to succeed; so it’s exciting to pass on that knowledge to the next generation of loan officers. My goal is to develop them and support sales managers who want to increase their market share.”
Ramirez will oversee sales for San Diego, Bonita and Encinitas, Calif., where he looks forward to establishing a dominant presence in the market utilizing New American Funding’s quick underwriting turn time and results-driven marketing.
“We’re thrilled to have Anthony on board,” said Baron O’Brien, vice president of talent acquisition for New American Funding. “His drive, discipline and expertise will be tremendous assets in leading New American Funding to greater heights in that region.”
