Going New Places and Meeting New Faces

Perhaps the most remarkable success story for Wesley Mortgage last year was the immeasurable growth we saw as a company. From moving our headquarters office from Franklin, TN, to the heart of Downtown Nashville and opening new branch offices in surrounding counties to more than doubling our staff size and increasing our mortgage licensing, plenty of “new” places and faces were introduced at Wesley Mortgage.

‍

• Moving Our Headquarters: We bid farewell to our previous Franklin, TN headquarters and welcomed a fresh start in a new office in Downtown Nashville’s Renaissance Hotel tower. This move resulted from acquiring the local operations of area peer Colten Mortgage and represents our commitment to staying at the heart of Tennessee's dynamic real estate scene.

• Expanding Branch Offices: 2023 marked a significant period of growth for Wesley Mortgage. We not only increased our local presence but also proudly expanded outwards by opening new branch offices in two vibrant Tennessee communities: Mt. Juliet, TN, and Jackson, TN. These additions to our network allow us to serve clients across the state better.

• Increasing State Licenses: We added more state mortgage licenses to broaden our commitment to excellence and customer service further. These licenses enable us to reach even more individuals and families looking for their dream homes. We are now licensed in all states throughout the southeast U.S. and as far west as Colorado.

• Welcoming New Talent: As a result of this immense growth, our team grew much stronger in 2023 with the addition of talented new employees. Each new hire brings unique skills and expertise to the Wesley Mortgage family, contributing to our continued success. Our expansion branch offices introduced these new loan originators: Joe McNamee, Matt Wood, John Burkeen, and David Ross.

‍

Through acquiring Colten Mortgage, we introduced a slew of exceptional individuals to our team. Their combined experience and dedication have helped us enhance our service offerings and provide even better solutions to our clients. They include:

‍

• Jim Stuart, Chief Growth Officer
• Renée Stuart, Senior Loan Originator
• Samantha Koenig, Loan Originator
• Ann Massey, Loan Originator
• Brennan Harper, Loan Originator
• Emily Floyd, Loan Originator

• Supporting Our Individual LOs: As our own team continued to grow throughout last year, we had the opportunity to sponsor and present several events for our staff loan originators. These events included lunch and learn workshops, open houses, community fundraisers, local festivals, holiday parties, and more. Such opportunities allowed our LOs to grow their networks and expertise.

• Providing Real Estate Education: Wesley Mortgage hosted several real estate-focused Continuing Education courses in the second half of the year after moving into our new Nashville office. These classes touched on many topics, such as Home Inspections, Termite/Pest Control, Foreclosures, Evictions, and Judgments.
