Titan Bank Hires Jeff Rauth; will cover Michigan and surrounding markets

DALLAS - May 6, 2013 - PRLog -- Dallas, TX – Titan Bank, NA today announced the hiring of Jeff Rauth to its rapidly expanding small business lending group.  Prior to joining Titan Bank, Rauth was with Commercial Financial Advisors, where he was owner/operator and sourced commercial real estate loans nationwide.  Additionally, Rauth had previously held BDO positions with Metro Phoenix Bank and Small Business Capital.  Over the last several years Rauth has averaged over $10MM in real estate based loans on an annual basis.  The addition of Rauth represents a further investment into Titan Bank’s substantial origination capabilities in the SBA and USDA lending arena.

Pete O’Hern, Titan Bank’s National Sales Manager comments, "Jeff has sourced a substantial amount of commercial real estate loans via the SBA 7A and 504 Loan Programs with various banks across the country.  Titan Bank’s ability to fund loans on a nationwide basis fits nicely with Jeff’s origination capabilities and “go to market” approach.  With our quick turn times in credit/closing, along with our flexible pricing, this will position Jeff to become a significant contributor to the Titan Team for the balance of 2013 and beyond.  Jeff will also be a major catalyst in opening up our lending operations in Michigan as well as nationwide with his market reach and Titan’s support.”   Rauth added, “I am excited to join a very seasoned sales team of at Titan Bank.  I am looking forward to increasing Titan Banks market share across the country as well as in my home state of Michigan.  Titan brings a national platform to SBA lending, and a loan process that from start to finish, is second to none in the industry.  I am looking forward to introducing Titan to all of my referral sources as well as my customers."

This expansion enables Titan to extend its lead in the SBA, USDA and small business lending sector.  As noted recently, Titan Bank received the US Government Small Business Administration’s Rising Star Award for the SBA’s Dallas Region.  The award is the latest recognition for Titan Bank, one of the few remaining chartered banks that focus primarily on loans to small companies.  Titan Bank intends to continue its expansion in this sector with the hiring of several more Business Development Officers nationwide in 2013.
