And we shall be getting more Guardian Angels as Guardian Mortgage Company, the 51-year old Richardson-based residential mortgage loan origination company, spreads those angel wings to Austin, Phoenix and… Troy, Michigan.
Dave Jansen will serve as branch manager at the newly minted Troy location, and a number of experienced loan officers (angels) will also join his team. Jansen says he is more than ready to start serving Michigan area homebuyers.
“We are so excited to broaden our reach in the great state of Michigan,” Jansen said. “Our team can’t wait to get in there and start working with local residents, guiding them on their journeys and helping them get the best financing possible.”
The new location at 900 Wilshire Drive in Troy will come aline on April 6, with members of the Troy Chamber of Commerce all over the place. Jansen says the place will be crawling.
Guardian is set to open five new branches this year, with the first expansion already happening earlier this month in San Antonio.
Guardian has a $2.7 billion residential mortgage loan servicing portfolio. In addition to its headquarters at 100 N. Central Expressway in Richardson, Guardian has branches in Plano, El Paso and Arlington, as well as Grand Blanc, Michigan; Albuquerque, and Santa Fe, New Mexico; and Scottsdale, Arizona.
On top of its San Antonio location, Guardian will strengthen existing markets with more offices, including one in Dallas’ exclusive Park Cities neighborhood at the end of April. Austin expansion comes in the third quarter, and Phoenix, Arizona in the third quarter.
The company will enter one new state with an office in Denver scheduled to launch in the second quarter. The location will complement bank locations of First National Bank of Denver, which is also owned by Guardian’s parent company, Strategic Growth Bancorp Inc.
Jobs, cha-ching: each branch will employ between 10 and 25 workers each, all Guardian angels.
Guardian Mortgage currently services 20,000 borrowers. With the new offices, the company predicts it will double the numbers to more than 40,000 clients.
