Nations Lending welcomed industry veteran Tim Dowling to its team as Midwest regional manager. Dowling will continue to build out mortgage sales and operations in what is already one of the company’s strongest footholds in the country with corporate headquarters located just outside of Cleveland, the company announced in a release.
Dowling will report to Executive Vice President of National Production Corey Caster.
Dowling is no stranger to the Midwest spending the last 20 years living in McHenry County, Ill., just west of Chicago and previously served the area as a senior vice president at Guaranteed Rate. Prior to his tenure there, Dowling spent nearly a decade at Prime Lending as vice president of Illinois and Wisconsin. On the depository side, Dowling took charge as a divisional manager at Bank of America, once again focusing on Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan after a decade at Harris Bank as a regional manager and VP.
“There’s tremendous opportunity in the Midwest,” Dowling said in the release. “I made the decision to come to Nations because not only did they recognize that opportunity, but they also foster a culture that allows its loan officers and regional managers to capitalize on it. They have the tools and resources of some of the largest lenders in the country but haven't lost touch with their roots.”
Dowling is part of Nation Lending’s larger leadership team, a group that’s been growing steadily since the company began expanding across the country from its Cleveland-area headquarters. Nations is now licensed in all 50 U.S. states.
“Tim is a strong regional leader who has shown a propensity and knack for building phenomenal, productive teams,” Caster said. “His level of expertise is going to be well appreciated at Nations. We’re looking forward to supporting him with top-class marketing, technology, and recruitment efforts in 2021 and beyond.”
