New American Funding Opens Santa Fe Office

Nov 21, 2017
New American Funding has named Sean Casey Senior Vice President of Retail Sales for Arizona and Texas

New American Funding is expanding its Southwest territory with the opening of a Santa Fe, N.M. branch, the first branch for New American in New Mexico’s capital city.
 
Marita DeVargas, along with Loan Originator Denise Beswick, will be part of the Santa Fe team. DeVargas previously served as Vice President of Mortgage Sales with an independent lender, while Beswick owned and operated a contract loan processing company. Both have worked one-on-one with clients originating loans and bring 40 years of combined experience in financial services to the market.
 
“We’re excited to bring New American Funding’s wide range of niche loans to Santa Fe,” said DeVargas. “Consumers have been looking for more financing options. Now New American Funding has it available for them.”
 
Branch Manager Justin Ledoux said, “We bring a new way of doing business and fresh energy. Not only do we understand this market, from leasehold land to condos, but we have tools such as mobile apps and fast response times to better serve Santa Fe.”
