Branch Managers, Johnstown, PA
NMLS: 408773 | NMLS: 418684
When Pittsburgh-area loan officers and brothers Mike and Jeff Philibin decided to leave “big bank” mortgage last year, they were looking for a company that shared their commitment to first-class customer service. The light at the end of their tunnel was PrimeLending. They moved full steam ahead to open 4 branches in less than 90 days and assemble a lineup of elite producers. Mike, Jeff and their team quickly realized they were on the right track. Everyone at PrimeLending, from processors and underwriters to closers and corporate supporters, were focused on finding ways to help each customer win. More than a year later, the team is continuing to make headway as Western Pennsylvania’s premier lender one satisfied homeowner at a time.

Julie Howell: Balances Elite Production with Raising Young Family
Senior Loan Originator, Plano, TX
NMLS: 176775
For Julie Howell, balancing a thriving business and two growing kids can feel like lyrics to a classic country-western song. On any given afternoon, Julie may be sending a pre-qualification letter, checking on the status of a closing or working with a local real estate agent — all from the sidelines of her daughter’s cheerleading practice.
PrimeLending’s flexible CRM and LOS system make it easy for her to stay in touch and run her business whether she’s in the branch or on the go. The operational support she receives comes in multiples too — with branch-dedicated loan processors, underwriters and closers to work directly with her customers and help keep her closings ahead of schedule.
Ben Wilson: Last Year, Grew Production by 30% in Hometown
Production Manager, Huntsville, AL
NMLS: 484973
Ben Wilson is banking on Huntsville, Alabama — the perfect mix of natural beauty, progressive enterprises and laid-back living. He’s made a career out of helping others establish roots in his hometown, but his business didn’t really take off until he joined PrimeLending in 2014.
What’s his secret to growing production by 30% last year? Offering a refreshing, stress-free alternative to the slow and red-tape-filled experience traditional lenders provide. It’s the right combination of local expertise, diverse products, a fast digital process and personal service that sets his branch apart.

With the support of an in-branch operations team, streamlined processes and virtual productivity tools that make working remotely a snap, Sylvia has discovered she can successfully balance her work and family responsibilities.

PrimeLending offered the perfect mix of freedom, flexibility and support for his new responsibilities without losing a step professionally. At the branch or in the field, productivity tools keep Adam organized, informed and effortlessly in control…just like juggling a soccer ball.
