Angel Oak Home Loans has hired Todd Matthews as area manager to recruit loan officers and grow its presence in Florida, the company announced.
Angel Oak also announced the opening of a branch in West Palm Beach, Fla.
“The addition of Todd Matthews supports both Angel Oak’s commitment to providing exceptional customer service and our ongoing expansion in Florida,” Angel Oak Regional Manager Mac Cregger said in a release. “I’m excited to work closely with Todd because he exudes the level of high-quality service that we’re accustomed to at Angel Oak. We look forward to hiring more loan officers this year, while deepening our current customer relationships and increasing revenue.”
The company said Matthews has managed and grown sales teams throughout Florida for more than 20 years. He started his career at Wells Fargo Home Mortgage as a branch manager in Florida, eventually working his way up to regional program manager.
“I’m honored to work at one of the fastest-growing retail mortgage lenders in the Southeast,” Matthews said. “During my career, I’ve learned how crucial a customer-centric philosophy is to loan officers’ success and the overall growth of the firm.
“This is something Angel Oak exemplifies,” Matthews said. “l plan to help cultivate that message and build our sales team throughout Florida, especially in the two key markets that I know well.”
