Waterstone Mortgage Opens New Offices In Virginia

National mortgage lender Waterstone Mortgage Corp. has announced the opening of a new branch in Christiansburg, Va., led by Branch Manager Dave Shelor. The branch includes a second office location in nearby Blacksburg. 

Shelor has nearly 20 years of experience in the mortgage lending industry. His team includes mortgage originators Shawn Allen and Barrett C. Hall, as well as Business Development Associate Brittani Radcliffe.

Shelor and Allen came from Embrace Home Loans. Hall came from OVM Financial Inc.

Allen graduated from Virginia Tech with a degree in accounting and finance and has been in the mortgage and finance industry for nearly two decades. As a mortgage professional, Allen specializes in conventional, USDA, FHA, VA, and VHDA loans. 

Hall has an extensive background in hospitality and event management, and recently made the transition to the mortgage lending industry. 

When deciding to join Waterstone Mortgage, Shelor and his team were impressed by the lender’s extensive product portfolio.

“The 480-day extended rate lock program, the Single Loan Close Construction Program, and the second home mortgage rates with our proprietary ARM products are unbelievable,” he said. “Add this to the competitive interest rates for agency products and our low fees, and Waterstone Mortgage is a new force in the marketplace.”
