Expanding Presence in Washington State to Three Branches


SALT LAKE CITY, UT--(Marketwired - January 07, 2016) - Castle & Cooke Mortgage, LLC®, one of the nation's leading independent mortgage lenders with 43 locations across the United States, is rapidly expanding its Washington presence with a second branch in Mountlake Terrace, a northern suburb of Seattle. The Mountlake Terrace branch is being opened only weeks after the company's branch in Olympia. The Mountlake Terrace, Washington office will offer a full suite of loan products with the exceptional customer service and fast home loan closings that clients have come to expect.

Cory Wright (NMLS #174391) will manage the branch -- located at 6100 219th Street SW, Suite480, in Mountlake Terrace -- bringing with him nearly two decades of mortgage experience in Washington which includes an entrenched understanding of the region and the industry. Wright came to Castle & Cooke Mortgage from Stonegate Mortgage and also served as a Senior Mortgage Banker at Leader One Financial Corp, among other leadership positions.

"Castle & Cooke Mortgage's customer service philosophy, as well as its core values of transparency and integrity, align strongly with my own beliefs about how to provide best-in-class service," said Wright. "By upholding these lending standards we provide Washington residents with a trusted mortgage banker that has the experience, and the sheer variety of loan options, to set borrowers up for successful and rewarding home buying experiences. Or as I like to say, we make people's real estate dreams come true."

As Castle & Cooke Mortgage continues its robust expansion strategy, Washington marks the 20th state that the company operates in, with a plan to open at least 15 more branches in 2016. This year alone, the company has opened eight new branches.
