Select Lending Services (SLS), a joint venture of the privately held mortgage lender CMG Financial, announced a new partnership with Premier Sotheby’s International Realty.
A new branch location stemming from the deal will be headed by new Divisional Sales Manager Bill Zielke.
Zielke comes to SLS with decades of dedicated sales and lending experience. Previously, he served over 15 years at Bank of America, leading mortgage origination and retail sales, operations, and joint venture and business development initiatives. Following that, he worked as the vice president of national field sales in the eastern U.S. for American Advisors Group before most recently serving as a regional sales manager at Guaranteed Rate Affinity.
“I’m proud to join SLS to launch our partnership with Premier Sotheby’s International Realty, the luxury real estate leader from the gulf coast of Florida to the high country of North Carolina,” Zielke said in a release. “The leadership teams are truly legends in the industry, and it is an incredible opportunity to unite and deliver lending solutions to our clients. SLS is powered by CMG, who has achieved a meteoritic rise in the industry, and I look forward to leading our growth in the Southeast.”
In his previous roles, Zielke grew purchase share throughout Florida and built a proven record of leading world-class sales and recruiting exceptional operational and management teams, company leaders said.
“CMG is honored to partner with Premier Sotheby’s, bringing together our shared commitment to service and professionalism to create a powerful partnership in the Florida and North Carolina markets,” said Chris Harris, national joint venture manager at CMG Financial. “Through this collaboration and Bill’s leadership, clients will experience an unparalleled homebuying journey.”
