“I really enjoy meeting new people in the mortgage industry, as well as the fact that no two purchase transactions are ever the same,” Warbinton said. “Whether an individual is moving across the country for a new job or a couple is downsizing after 30 years in their home, it’s always rewarding to see buyers receive a set of keys to their new home.”
 
Waterstone Mortgage SVP–National Sales Manager Kevin Allen said, “We’re excited to welcome Lee and her team, as they continue to serve homebuyers in Kyle and the greater Austin area. Lee’s extensive experience in the industry, as well as her dedication to consistent, transparent communication with her clients, will be invaluable to homebuyers in Texas.”
