Sunwest Bank Announces Home Mortgage Lending From A Community Bank

Nov. 17, 2010 - PRLog -- TUSTIN, Calif. November 10, 2010 -- Sunwest Bank has begun offering home mortgage loans at a time when few community banks are doing so. There are several reasons Sunwest Bank is offering mortgage loans at this time, according to Glenn Gray, CEO of Sunwest Bank.

“If a bank is prepared to provide mortgage lending in a disciplined manner, now is the time to do it because the lenders who were merely opportunistic and didn’t rely on sensible lending standards are predominantly gone,” notes Gray.
Sunwest Bank has created an efficient process, and is able to respond to people who request loans in a timely manner without cutting corners, Gray said.  The bank has established automated actions for various portions of the lending process, so that the bank and its clients can focus on getting more rapid approval.

Finally, Gray notes that in addition to being a profitable lending category when handled with discipline, mortgage loans are a nice additional service to offer existing clients, and a great way to begin a relationship with new clients.

“Sunwest Bank’s community bank approach, through which we personally get to know our clients, is often eye-opening to people who have dealt with the big banks in the past,” Gray adds.  “As we provide a mortgage loan we get to know our clients and establish a strong relationship with them; making it more likely they will feel comfortable depositing money in our bank and consider using Sunwest Bank to meet their business banking needs.”
Sunwest Bank’s mortgage lending is available for homes throughout California and Arizona.  Further information on obtaining a mortgage loan from Sunwest is available at www.SunwestBank.com under the “Mortgage” tab.

Sunwest Bank has shown consistent growth, both through acquisitions and organically with new depositors and new business clients seeking a secure and stable financial partner.

With over 40 years in business, Sunwest Bank partners with entrepreneurs to personally take their businesses to a new level of success.  The bank’s solid balance sheet includes significant liquidity, resulting in an ability to lend in an environment where many banks are unable or unwilling to do so. Sunwest Bank has branch offices in Tustin, Anaheim, Newport Beach, Laguna Hills, San Clemente, Encinitas California, in addition to three branches in Flagstaff and one in Cottonwood, Arizona.  The bank specializes in meeting the credit and cash management needs of small and mid-size businesses.  Additional information can be found at www.SunwestBank.com.
