Oct 20, 2016
Element Funding, a division of Primary Residential Mortgage Inc. (PRMI), has opened its first branch office in Sarasota, Fla.

Element Funding, a division of Primary Residential Mortgage Inc. (PRMI), has announced the opening of a new branch office in Tampa, Fla., as Gary Tuorto, sales manager, and Seth Robbins, retail branch manager, will manage the new Tampa branch.

“The new Tampa office allows us to increase our footprint in the Tampa Bay area to provide the highest level of service to our clients and partners in the area,” said Tuorto.

The new branch is part of an effort to strategically expand Element Funding by adding eight new Florida branches in the next year. In this expansion effort, it hopes to employ more than 30 team members.

“The new space will bring our sales and operations teams under one roof allowing for quicker turnaround times,” said Larry Sutton, division president of Element Funding. “Since establishing our presence in the Destin, Sarasota and now the Tampa areas, we have helped numerous families obtain homeownership and gained a high level of loyalty in the communities we serve. Our goal is to provide a positive customer experience and opening this new office will take this experience to an even higher level.”
