Brokers First Funding Names Pam Scheidt Operations Director

Brokers First Funding has appointed Pam Scheidt as vice president and director of operations, placing her in charge of the wholesale lender’s processing and closing functions.

Scheidt will focus on streamlining workflows, scaling the company’s operational infrastructure, and improving the loan experience for mortgage brokers and their borrowers, the Costa Mesa, California-based lender said.

“My priorities are clear: streamline operations to deepen our broker partnerships, expand market share, and triple our production volume,” Scheidt said.

The appointment reunites Scheidt with Brokers First Funding President Shabi Asghar. The two previously worked together at wholesale lender N2 Funding, where Scheidt served as chief operating officer when the company launched in 2020.

“Pam’s depth of experience across all facets of mortgage operations, combined with her proven ability to lead and scale teams, makes her the perfect fit for this role,” Asghar said.

Scheidt has more than 25 years of professional relationships in the mortgage industry, according to the company. Her background includes building operations teams, improving workflows, and managing production functions across setup, account management, disclosures, document processing, and funding.

Her hiring follows Brokers First Funding’s recent rebrand and the June appointment of Anant Bhakta as vice president of capital markets.
