"We are really excited to open our first branch in Virginia and hope this will be the first of many," said Brian Koss, Executive Vice President of Mortgage Network. "We're also fortunate to have a person with Rhonda's vast experience and local real estate knowledge to lead it."
 
D'Bene said, "Those looking to buy a home or refinance their mortgage can expect a stress-free mortgage process as we will be there to assist them every step of the way.”
