Bruce Van Patten Tapped to Lead New HomeBridge Financial in Folsom

HomeBridge Financial Services has announced the expansion of its retail presence in California, with a new office in the historic district in the City of Folsom, Sacramento County. Bruce Van Patten, well known in the Sacramento area for his work in the mortgage industry with some of the city’s largest and most respected lenders, has been chosen to lead the new HomeBridge office in the role of branch manager.

Van Patten’s addition to the HomeBridge team is in line with the company’s commitment to offering customers a combination of financial strength typically found from major national banks, along with the personal attention expected from a small local business. Under Van Patten’s direction, the new HomeBridge office will be able to assist residential homebuyers and homeowners, as well as realm estate agents and real estate developers, with the same level of customer service HomeBridge is synonymous with in other area of the country. HomeBridge has more than 90 offices nationwide.

“HomeBridge represents an ideal scenario for Sacramento home buyers in today’s tight housing market. Speed is critical when it comes to moving on available properties here, but I expect the ability to facilitate renovation mortgages will be of particular interest to buyers in Sacramento,” said Van Patten. “Renovation mortgages can help buyers finance the changes that can turn out-of-date properties into dream homes, and HomeBridge’s expertise in renovation mortgages means that many first time buyers are able to consider remodeling home’s they would never have looked twice at before. HomeBridge is known nationwide for the personal attention and customer service it provides and I’m looking forward to sharing that level of excellence with home buyers and the professional housing community here in Sacramento.”
