Nations Lending Hits Southern Nevada with New Las Vegas Branch

Anne and Jim Bell named managers of new location

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nations Lending, a leading full-service national mortgage lender, today announced the launch of its latest branch in Las Vegas. The company has hired 16-year mortgage lending pros Anne and Jim Bell. The Bells will report to Regional Manager Mike Towery.

The Bells have long been top performers in the Las Vegas market. They come to Nations from Planet Home Lending and were previously with imortgage/loanDepot for more than nine years.

“Nations offers an incredibly supportive environment for originators who are looking to build a business rather than simply produce,” said Anne Bell. “You get the sense that the company doesn’t just want the branch to succeed. They’re also interested in seeing you hit your full potential on an individual level.”

“Anne and Jim bring unique insight and vast experience to the Las Vegas market, and I believe in their ability to navigate us to the top. Their network and local insight will be tremendously valuable to our company,” said Mike Towery. "At Nations, we provide our branches with exceptional support and work closely with them to ensure their success.” Since its founding in 2003, Nations Lending has become one of the fastest-growing independent lenders in the country. It retains nearly 100 percent of its mortgage servicing rights.
