to become a recognized leader in the mortgage industry. We offer a wide array of
products and services designed specifically for the credit-conscious borrower.
Our Mission
Statement
Our charter is to cultivate valuable
partnerships within the mortgage industry by consistently exceeding the
expectations of our clients, our affiliates and our employees. Our superior
service and our success are a direct result of our commitment to the principles
of honesty, integrity, fairness and teamwork. Our name reflects these values…a
reunion of mortgage professionals on whom you can rely.
Our Founders
Dave Thayer and Kent Harvey have known each
other for over 35 years, and share core values and a similar business
philosophy. They have created a company that is dedicated to providing quality
to its investors, service to its customers, efficiency of operations, and growth
opportunities for all its shareholders and staff.
Dave spent 20 years in the retail mortgage
industry, then built his first wholesale mortgage division for STM Mortgage in
1990. Kent joined the company in 1993 to provide marketing and sales leadership,
and led the firm in national wholesale production.
In 1996, Marsha Berlinski joined the
team in an expansion venture with First Union (now Wachovia). Dave developed a
highly successful regional branch network, while Kent continued providing market
leadership and set new standards for wholesale production. Marsha’s leadership
and expertise brought new levels of quality and service to the wholesale
operation. The team continued to perfect their principles of successful
wholesale mortgage banking at First Union, while gaining national recognition
for volume, quality, efficiency, and profitability.
In the Spring of 1999, the trio decided to
build their own company. Their combined 70 years of mortgage experience enabled
them to solicit top performers to join the team, and the result was a
“reunion”—a reunion of friends and co-workers who share core values and
business principles, and a belief that together we can achieve great success!
