New American Funding, a leader in the mortgage industry, is expanding its Southwest territory with the opening of a Santa Fe, NM branch. This newest location, which is on 150 Washington Avenue, Suite 201, is the first branch for the mortgage lender in New Mexico’s capital city.

It’s a full-service home loan provider designed to meet the residential mortgage needs of local consumers by offering a diverse spectrum of purchase and refinance products. “We’re excited to bring New American Funding’s wide range of niche loans to Santa Fe,” said Loan Originator Marita DeVargas (NMLS# 458776). “Consumers have been looking for more financing options. Now New American Funding has it available for them.”

Marita DeVargas, along with Loan Originator Denise Beswick, will be part of the Santa Fe team. DeVargas previously served as vice president of mortgage sales with an independent lender, while Beswick owned and operated a contract loan processing company. Both have worked one-on-one with clients originating loans and bring 40 years of combined experience in financial services to the market.

“Our customer service is superior. From start to finish, we’re hands-on involved working with our clients and closing loans on time,” said Beswick (NMLS# 260397). “We make ourselves available to them and create a unique lending experience. We’re committed to providing service that exceeds the rest.”

The Santa Fe team plans to expand the company’s footprint by onboarding more Loan Originators and partnering with Real Estate Agents in the community. “We bring a new way of doing business and fresh energy,” said Branch Manager Justin Ledoux (NMLS# 253029). “Not only do we understand this market, from leasehold land to condos, but we have tools such as mobile apps and fast response times to better serve Santa Fe.”
