VIP Mortgage has announced its expansion into the Colorado market by hiring industry veterans Jennifer Tulcan and John Suggs to lead their efforts. Tulcan joined VIP as executive vice president of National Sales and Suggs joined the company as VP of Process Management.

Tulcan, a Colorado native will oversee the company’s growth, while continuing to help develop sales with a heavy emphasis on the Colorado market. Currently, VIP has one branch, located in Lone Tree, Colo., with plans to add several more throughout the Front Range area.

“I am thrilled to be part of such a highly reputable and well-established mortgage lending company,” said Tulcan. “Being able to lead the expansion in my home state of Colorado gives me an enormous sense of pride.”

Suggs’ responsibilities include the successful implementation of all company strategic initiatives. The department of Process Management directly manages the strategic projects in varying degrees to ensure their success.

“With Colorado currently experiencing a ‘hot’ real estate market, VIP looks forward to working with both borrowers and realtors to make the home buying experience as pleasurable as possible,” said Suggs.

“Our hope is to bring the ‘HEART’ that VIP is known for to both consumers and loan officers in my home state, specifically the Denver Metro area, Fort Collins and Colorado Springs,” said Jay Barbour, founder and president of VIP. “People with HEART can do more together than they can do alone, and we welcome hard-working, entrepreneurial-type individuals that can help us with our efforts to continue to bring responsible lending to our customers.”
