Nations Lending, a leading national full-service mortgage lender, increased the size of its California footprint with a new branch in Walnut Creek. The branch will be led by Brian Paris, who comes to Nations from BluPrint Home Loans, a residential mortgage lender headquartered in Encinitas, Calif., according to a press release.
Paris, who has over 10 years of experience in banking and lending, will lead a team of eight loan officers providing full-service mortgage products and services. Prior to his time with BluPrint, Paris spent five years with Banc Home Loans in addition to time at Capital Pacific and First Choice Loan Services, the company said.
“One of the things I pride myself on is a hassle-free experience for borrowers, which parlays nicely with Nations’ mission of making home loans more human,” Paris said in the release. “Nations has shown its propensity for supporting its branches and loan officers, continually investing in marketing, technology, and infrastructure, which is crucial in this line of business.”
The addition of Paris to the Nations Lending team is part of a larger initiative that’s been impossible for the industry to overlook.
“People like Brian are what make our company dynamic,” Nations Lending Division Sales Manager Nino Saso said. “In typical Nations fashion, we invest heavily in time and resources to help our branch managers and loan officers grow not only their business but also their own personal brand. This is one of the most popular reasons people join our Nations family.”
