Embrace Home Loans officially opened a new branch in Salem, Va. The branch is located at 2820 Keagy Road and is managed by Mike Easterly. Easterly also oversees a branch at 311 West Main Street in Bedford, Va, managed by Andrea Taylor-Goff.
Easterly has more than 31 years of real estate and mortgage experience and is well known in his regional market for his commitment to providing customers with superior customer service. With its lending and processing team’s combined 81 years of experience between the Salem and Bedford locations, the Salem branch offers the west central Virginia area competitive rates combined with dedicated service.
“We have had great success since joining Embrace and have really been able to leverage its advanced technology,” said Easterly. “We specialize in first-time homebuyers and through Embrace are able to provide families in our community exceptionally priced loans without sacrificing our commitment to service, honesty and a personalized, customer-centered experience. My team and I have worked for many lenders, but we truly embrace Embrace.”
Embrace Home Loans is rapidly expanding its operations in the consolidated market. The Salem branch and Bedford offices provide the entire loan process from application to closing, and because it is not a broker, the process is much more efficient. These branches offer conventional, FHA and VA loan products as well as VHDA and USDA programs. Embrace was recognized as one of the “Best Medium-Sized Companies to Work for in America,” as well as one of the “INC 5,000 Fastest Growing Private Companies in America.”
Dennis Hardiman, CEO and founder of Embrace Home Loans, said, “Mike and his team have spent years offering outstanding loan service in their area, as evidenced by the fact that three of their four loan officers have VHDA awards to their name, including the prestigious Gold Circle award. The Salem and Bedford branches have already assisted many west central Virginia homebuyers in affordably financing their first home, and we look forward to continuing our relationship with this truly exceptional branch team in the years to come.”
