Both bring extensive Evergreen experience, deep operational knowledge, and a strong emphasis on mentorship and leadership cultivation, underscoring the company’s focus on scaling its support infrastructure as it enters new markets.

“Our growth has always started from within,” said Robert Lipston, head of production at Evergreen Home Loans. “Joe Moley and Brett Evertz are proven leaders who understand our culture, our values, and the needs of our branches. Their leadership will be instrumental as we continue expanding our footprint and supporting our teams at a higher level.”

Evergreen’s longer-term strategy emphasizes investing in people through leadership development programs, clear career pathways, and succession planning to build a strong bench of leaders capable of sustaining its nationwide growth trajectory.
