B.C. Forbes once said: If you don’t drive your business, you will be driven out of business. One of our key strategies for “driving our business” is to identify and recruit Mortgage Loan Originators who are “the best of the best” and provide them a professional office space to meet with VITEK customers. To that end, I am pleased to announce the expansion of our corporate office and the opening of two new offices in California.

On August 5th, we expanded the current corporate office to the first floor at 3 Parkcenter Drive Sacramento, California. The newly remodeled, 3600 square foot suite provides office space for 21 employees and the phones and copy machines are already humming with customer activity. We hope to have the space at capacity and fully meeting the needs of our customers by September 30th.

On August 10th, we opened a North Bay sales office at 141 Stony Circle, Santa Rosa, California. With workspace for up to 10 employees, this satellite office represents a new chapter in VITEK’s expansion plans. We are entering a regional area where no one really knows our name. As a result, we are expecting a challenging yet exciting ramp up at this office. To help us get the word out, we’ve hired Mike Rooney, a long time Santa Rosa resident and industry veteran. Mike’s resume is varied and impressive. He has a vision for the office that is quite inspiring, and he believes, as we do, that North Bay area customers will really respond to VITEK’s customer service guarantee and our ability to get loans closed on time. By the way, if you are ever in the area (maybe on your way to wine tasting), be sure to stop in. Mike would be happy to show you around.

Coming up on September 21st, we are once again increasing our presence in East Roseville on the Douglas Blvd corridor with a 20 employee regional office. For VITEK, opening an office in East Roseville is like moving back into your old neighborhood. Everything seems familiar. We are finding it easy to hit the ground running. Mike Cepeda, the branch manager, is on site and already meeting with customers even though our official opening day won’t be until later in September. When you visit the Roseville office, you will find what we at VITEK have built our reputation around a highly professional environment coupled with state of art technology and friendly competent mortgage professionals. VITEK has enjoyed a long history of serving the Roseville and Granite Bay public, and we are genuinely excited about once again meeting the mortgage needs of this outstanding community.

In an environment and industry that many mortgage companies have struggled in, VITEK is not only staying alive we are thriving. VITEK’s commitment to originating loans the right way and providing old fashioned customer service is our secret. If you haven’t tried us yet, I encourage you to give us an opportunity to serve you. If we don’t have a physical office near you, don’t worry, our Mortgage Loan Originators will come to you (call any of the numbers on our web site). Finally, if you think your community would benefit from a VITEK office, let me know. We are taking E.B. Forbe’s advice and driving our business, and we would be happy to find a way to make our next stop at a location near you.
