WARD KERLIN RETURNS TO CONSHOHOCKEN, PENNSYLVANIA BRANCH OF MORTGAGE NETWORK
Veteran mortgage professional enthusiastic about local housing market

Veteran mortgage professional Ward Kerlin (NMLS #136442) has rejoined Mortgage Network Inc., one of the largest independent mortgage lenders in the eastern U.S., as a senior loan officer in the company’s Conshohocken, Pennsylvania branch office. Kerlin will be responsible for serving borrowers and home owners throughout the Philadelphia metropolitan area.
Kerlin brings to Mortgage Network more than 10 years of mortgage banking experience in the Philadelphia area. He originally joined Mortgage Network in 2012 and most recently worked as a loan originator for a local mortgage banker. Kerlin has also served as a senior loan officer at JP Morgan Chase and as a home mortgage consultant at Wells Fargo Home Mortgage.
Based in Danvers, Massachusetts, Mortgage Network provides mortgage banking services in more than 20 states through a wide variety of retail offices built to fit each local market. Mortgage Network is more focused and agile than many larger competitors, which allows the company to provide a high level of service to its customers and its business and referral partners.
“I came back to Mortgage Network because I felt the company’s desire to serve borrowers and continually improve the mortgage process is simply unequalled,” Kerlin said. “When a mortgage banker is truly dedicated to providing its sales professionals with the tools and support to help them excel, ultimately, borrowers end up winning, too.”
“We’re delighted to have Ward back on our team,” said Ted Lawler (NMLS #403956), regional manager for Mortgage Network. “Mortgage professionals with his level of expertise are few and far between.”
Kerlin added that he is enthusiastic about the local housing market. “Modest home price increases and low mortgage rates are giving first-time buyers a great shot at the American dream,” he said. “At the same time, the mortgage process can seem terrifying without the right assistance. Whether one is thinking about buying or refinancing, working with a trusted mortgage professional can make the process so much easier from start to finish.”
