BETH HALLETT RETURNS TO LANCASTER, PENNSYLVANIA BRANCH OF MORTGAGE NETWORK, INC.

Veteran mortgage professional Beth Hallett (NMLS# 420464) has rejoined Mortgage Network Inc., one of the largest independent mortgage lenders in the eastern U.S., as sales manager and co-manager of the company’s Lancaster, Pennsylvania branch office. In her new role, Hallett will be responsible for overseeing sales, managing branch operations and helping borrowers and homeowners throughout the southeastern Pennsylvania with their mortgage financing needs.

A 30-year veteran of the mortgage industry, Hallett previously worked for Mortgage Network for four years. She has a strong following among local real estate professionals and has helped hundreds of residents with their mortgage needs, specializing in first time home buyers. A member of the Lancaster County Association of Realtors, Hallett serves on the advisory board of the Lancaster Housing Opportunity Partnership (LHOP), a non-profit organization focused housing affordability for low to moderate income residents.

“Having worked for other lenders in this market, I am confident there is no company as committed to the community and its customers as Mortgage Network,” Hallett said. “Making sure my clients are in good hands means everything to me, and I know Mortgage Network will never waver from doing the right thing for borrowers. It’s great to be back home.”

Hallett joins Garry Seidel (NMLS #528200), a long-time top producer who has been promoted to the position of co-manager of the Lancaster branch. Seidel is a 17-year industry veteran who has worked for several local and national lenders and specializes in working with builders and Realtors. Also rejoining the Lancaster branch is Jen Stouffer, a senior loan underwriter with 25 years of mortgage experience, and senior loan processor Andrea Caswell, a 13-year industry veteran. All four professionals have worked together in the past

“We couldn’t be happier to have Hallett and the team back together and ready to serve borrowers for many years to come,” said Brian Koss, executive vice president of Mortgage Network. “To have veterans like Andrea and Jen making loan decisions and being supported by such quality leaders as Beth and Garry, we know our hard-earned 98.65% customer satisfaction rating is in good hands.”

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.

Hallett said that while the local housing market is at its healthiest level in years, today’s borrowers face many hurdles. “Multiple-offer situations and new lending rules can make buying a home in this market a challenge,” Hallett said. “The best advice I can give any buyer is to first talk with a lender that has deep experience in the local market. That way, they can be assured of a smooth process and the best loan for their particular needs, whatever those needs may be.”
