New American Funding Continues Midwest Expansion With Newest Missouri Branch

Jul 18, 2017
New American Funding has named Sean Casey Senior Vice President of Retail Sales for Arizona and Texas

New American Funding is continuing its Midwest expansion with the grand opening of another Missouri location in Clayton, Mo. Brandon and Megan Smith will serve as Co-Branch Managers for the new Clayton branch, collectively bringing 20 years of experience in the mortgage industry to the new location. Most recently, Megan was a top-producing originator with an independent mortgage company, while Brandon has been with New American Funding since 2014 as a Senior Mortgage Banker. Jointly, they’ll work to increase loan volume and build a sales team.
 
“We’re excited to have Brandon and Megan leading the charge in Clayton,” said Hamid Hamrah, Regional VP for New American Funding. “They’re both extremely talented professionals who have extensive mortgage knowledge and they’re well connected in the community.”
 
“The people make the difference,” said Brandon. “New American Funding’s culture of helping one another is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. We’re eager to take this opportunity and grow the region.”
 
Megan added, “New American Funding has a strong operational system and second-to-none technology that make it easier for originators to close loans and provide excellent customer service. I’ve truly found my home.”
