East Bay mortgage banker Landmark Mortgage Group kicked off 2011 with the opening of its downtown Brentwood branch, the Landmark network’s fourth. The much-anticipated San Ramon location is also due to open its doors early this year.

“Having worked with several people on the Landmark team over the past two years, I’m thrilled that the company has decided to expand to Brentwood,” said Bryan Hogge, co-owner of the Intero Real Estate Brentwood and Discovery Bay offices. “The entire Delta region will be very well-served by this company’s commitment to delivering on time.”

Landmark is also looking to populate the office with a highly motivated and knowledgeable staff. A branch manager is the first order of business. The ideal candidate is someone currently in the mortgage industry possessing a strong set of people skills, current loan-program and product knowledge, and is highly motivated and able to lead the strategic direction for the branch. Creating brand awareness in the Delta region through hosting branch functions and continuous community involvement are responsibilities of the position as well. A minimum of five years in the mortgage industry is preferred.

Inquiries from experienced professionals interested in the position should be e-mailed to info@lmglending.com to the attention of Todd Allen. All responses will be promptly and discreetly handled.
