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

New American Funding has expanded its reach across the Greater San Fernando Valley with the grand opening of its Van Nuys, Calif. branch. The Van Nuys location will be a full-service branch, providing a range of purchase and refinance loan options, offer first-time homebuyer programs and help facilitate downpayment assistance programs. The branch will offer jumbo loan programs and service the needs of those looking to finance homes over conforming loan amounts.
 
“We’re committed to helping our clients and finding the right loan program for them,” said New American Funding Branch Manager Ed Banuelos. “We’re excited to bring New American Funding’s presence to the San Fernando Valley and offer a wide range of loan options that will fit our clients’ needs.”
 
Banuelos, a native to the area, was identified to lead the expansion due to his track record in the mortgage industry. He brings more than 30 years of experience to the company and will lead the market expansion as branch manager.
 
“I came on board with New American Funding because we operate differently from other lenders and we have a get it done mindset, which fits my personality,” said Banuelos.
