Big Valley Mortgage History
Big Valley Mortgage, the flagship branch of American Pacific Mortgage, was opened by Kurt Reisig in 1990. As an Originator, Kurt consistently produced numbers that ranked among the nation's best. Kurt champions Origination and Team Building strategies that are both traditional and revolutionary. APM was incorporated in 1997 and is a Broker Network (structured similarly to net branch companies). Kurt continues to be the company's leader and Chief Visionary-- successfully leading BVM through many variable markets. He has won numerous awards and has been featured in many industry publications such as Mortgage Originator and the Sacramento Business Journal.
Currently operating under the guidance of General Manager Michael Pankow, Big Valley shares space in our parent company's corporate head quarters, and benefits from being first to test and implement the many innovative strategies conceived by our leaders.
As the founder of American Pacific Mortgage, one of the largest independent retail banking and branching companies in the country, I am extremely pleased with the way that our team has adapted to the drastically altered lending environment. Having successfully navigated stormy times in our industry and economy, American Pacific Mortgage has become the company of choice for entrepreneurial mortgage originators who recognize that structure, compliance and mortgage banking are central to remaining successful in today's industry. Our practice of profit "ownership" for our branches allows proven leaders to be paid for their results.
At American Pacific Mortgage, it's our duty to serve our employees and our communities by bringing tools and resources to our originators while delivering quality loans to our investors. As a mortgage bank, our company and our originators have the ability to fund loans with excellent pricing and service. Our commitment to serve the borrower requires that we also maintain robust wholesale lending relationships, assuring our originators the availability of those products our mortgage bank may not offer. By centralizing and fulfilling services including accounting, human resources, payroll, licensing, HUD approvals and benefits management, we allow our originators to focus on the business of providing loans. Our commitment to delivering production tools and industry training, as well as sharing proven strategies with originators helps them succeed in originating loans, giving them a huge advantage over the competition. In addition, our ability to deliver large volumes of quality to our industry partners creates pricing and service improvements that increase that advantage even further.
American Pacific Mortgage is a company that constantly surveys the industry and the economic environment in preparation for the changes and opportunities we see on the horizon. I believe that this commitment to foresight and preparedness, while difficult to quantify, is one of the most important benefits that we provide to our employees, industry partners, and communities. Collaborating with our employees and industry partners is a core characteristic of our culture; it allows us to constantly measure and improve our service. We believe in honesty and transparency in all of our relationships, with our consumers, our industry partners and especially with our employees.
Our successful history, culture, the resources we provide and our commitment to the success of our employees are our calling cards; when you ask our branch managers why they joined and why they remain with American Pacific Mortgage, these are the things you hear the most. I look forward to speaking with you.
