Nations Lending announced the opening of its new branch in Marion, Indiana which will be led by Gem McKinney. The company also named Skye Stevens as its personal mortgage advisor for the region.

McKinney has more than 15 years of experience in serving the Central Indiana region and will assume the role of branch manager for the new location.

"I was ready to step up and lead my own branch, and Nations gave me that opportunity. But still, if I was going to make a move, I had to feel like it was the right decision all around," said McKinney.

Prior to joining Nations Lending, Stevens spent time working with Union Home Mortgage.

"It just felt like home," Stevens added, according to a press release. "Which is the exact same feeling we want to bring our clients when they work with us. 'Local girls, local loans,' is kind of our motto."
