Nations Lending, the independent, direct-to-agency mortgage lender based in Cleveland, Ohio, added a new branch in Western Pennsylvania, Nations Lending announced in a release.
The company’s new branch in Cranberry Township will be led by industry veteran Anthony Gennuso and opens the Pittsburgh market for the company.
Nations said Gennuso has more than 25 years of mortgage experience in the Pittsburgh area and before that worked as a financial planner, which gives him unique insight in guiding clients toward the most financially rewarding homeownership options. Genuso is known for going above and beyond for his Realtor partners and has a broad range of experience with a diverse range of clients including first-time homebuyers and those looking to move up to their second or third homes.
“Anthony knows his market, has a great referral base, and a dedication to doing what it takes to get his clients to the finish line,” Nations Lending Mid-Atlantic Regional Sales Manager Kathryn Edelen said in the release. “Nations will be a great partner for Anthony as he looks to grow his business, both in terms of recruiting additional talent and providing great loan-level and marketing support.”
Gennuso most recently served at Equity Resources for three years.
“Nations’ business model impressed me, being a mid-sized lender but also being agency-direct and licensed in all 50 states,” Gennuso said. “Nations is positioned to grow, and I feel like that matches where my business is. Plus, the marketing, the access to so much technology to help serve clients more efficiently, it’s great.”
