New American Funding has named Joe Smith its new regional sales manager overseeing the Arizona market. Smith, a top-producing mortgage professional, will be responsible for expanding the company’s brand statewide by recruiting new loan officers, identifying additional branch locations, and growing sales volume.

“I’m thrilled about this new opportunity,” said Smith. “You can do loans anywhere. I came to New American Funding because the culture and people make the difference. They’re willing to do whatever it takes to succeed. Furthermore, the marketing for loan officers is the best that I’ve seen in the industry. This winning combination makes it a great environment for the originator to thrive.”
Smith, a 15-year veteran of the mortgage industry, has worked as a branch manager for the majority of his career.
