SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mortgage banker American Mortgage Network (AmNet), a 100% employee-owned company (ESOP), announced today that it has increased its recruiting efforts to focus on key geographic areas in the United States. TraVaughn Paschal, George DeMare, and Rick Humphery, senior recruiters with a strong portfolio of success, have been hired to lead this initiative.
“With so many mortgage lenders forced to adjust their workforces or shut down completely, many talented loan officers and processors are out of work. These professionals are excited by the challenge and opportunity of joining an employee-owned company that is expanding its footprint throughout the United States,” noted AmNet President and CEO Joseph S. Restivo.
The new AmNet recruiting executives will oversee specific geographic areas of the country where they have strong contacts. Members of the team are:
Located on the West Coast, TraVaughn Paschal is a seasoned Business Development & Operations professional who has managed numerous mortgage loan origination teams and fueled significant sales volume growth for companies that include WeMortgage Corporation and Amerisave Mortgage Corporation. In previous roles, TraVaughn leveraged strategic lead generation campaigns to source quality leads and build volume for major mortgage companies.
“It's a great opportunity to join the AmNet team where everyone is an owner,” said TraVaughn. “They are a results-driven organization that is passionate about helping all types of homebuyers. This includes providing financial education that assists them in understanding the responsibilities that come with home ownership and making the right decision about the type of mortgage loan they select.”
Handling the Midwest region, George DeMare is a Business Development Executive with extensive experience in all aspects of developing a sustainable mortgage business. He has a proven track record of developing key talent, including building a sales force at Midwest Mortgage Capital. Before joining AmNet, he was in charge of recruiting, training, managing, and developing loan officers for multiple national mortgage bankers.
George stated, “AmNet reflects the values and vision that define how I work in the mortgage industry. They put employees and customers first in everything they do, which then drives success in the marketplace. Their ability to build and nurture working relationships is what attracted me to their organization, and it is what will attract mortgage talent to our company.”
In charge of the Southern region, including Florida, Rick Humphery is a 22-year mortgage industry veteran. He started his career in Atlanta, Georgia as a Loan Officer and has worked as an Account Executive and Regional Manager in both wholesale and retail. For 16 years, Rick worked on the FDIC side of the industry before moving to mortgage. He loves the mortgage industry and has been looking for the right small organization that offers unparalleled opportunities to help the company grow and prosper.
Commenting on the ideal recruit, Rick said, “The first quality I look for is a go-getter, a hunter who is also a team player. AmNet has a great culture and group of team players who are all eager to take the company to the next level. The ideal candidates are those who are coachable but also willing to coach others. We want and love innovative people and those who come in with ideas that can help individuals and the company to grow.”
