New American Funding Opens New NorCal Branch in Novato

Nov 02, 2017
New American Funding has named Sean Casey Senior Vice President of Retail Sales for Arizona and Texas

New American Funding continues its expansion across Northern California with the opening of its new Novato, Calif. location, the first retail site for the mortgage lender in Marin County.
 
“We look forward to servicing this region,” said Darren Pomponio, New American Funding Area Manager. “Not only do we offer competitive rates and industry-leading close times for our customers but we have great cobranded marketing resources for our real estate partners.”
 
Pomponio, who has a 20-year mortgage background, will oversee the Novato branch as a Producing Manager. He began as a top-performing Loan Originator before becoming a Vice President with an independent lender, where he successfully led his branch within the company to the top production spot based on units and volume, for two consecutive years.
 
“Darren brings a stellar reputation to New American Funding,” said Chris Garza, New American Funding Regional Vice President. “We’re honored to have him continuing our Northern California growth.”
 
Pomponio has been in Novato since 2009 and serves as a member of the Novato Chamber of Commerce and on the Board of Directors for the Veterans Association for Real Estate Professionals.
 
“This is a competitive market,” said Pomponio. “With our mobile technology and efficient loan process, we give our real estate partners the edge and help them win closings.”
