First Community Mortgage has announced the expansion of its Consumer Direct Division in the Cleveland, Ohio market. The company has added 25 employees to its team since February of 2017.
 
The new Consumer Direct Division will be led by Jay Slone, who brings 15-plus years of mortgage lending experience to the team. Slone, a Cleveland-area native, will serve as Vice President of First Community Mortgage’s Consumer Direct Division.
 
“With the ongoing revitalization and rebirth of Cleveland, investing in the Northeast Ohio market was an easy decision for us,” said Andy Voyles, Executive Vice President and Director of Lending for First Community Mortgage. “There are great people here, combined with an unmatched work ethic and determination for success. We are confident our Cleveland based employees will flourish in our business model.”
 
Also leading the sales teams are industry veterans Mike Mastrangelo, Larry Weir and Matthew Sheffey. Garett Boham oversees the local operations team.
 
“To us, a mortgage loan is more than a financial transaction. Its personal. We were all born and raised in the Cleveland area and are very passionate about helping our fellow Clevelanders make great financial choices,” said Sheffey.
