Level One Bank recently announced plans to double the size of its mortgage division, adding new mortgage loan officers and support staff who come to the company from MB Financial Bank.
Among the new hires are mortgage industry veterans Joe Skaisgir, Troy Fairbanks and Rob Laney who previously worked at the MB Financial offices in Ann Arbor and Northville, according to a company press release. Level One believes the new staffers will further strengthen the bank’s mortgage presence in Southeast Michigan.
“Level One Bank continues to expand and grow in the markets we serve,” Level One Bank CEO Patrick J. Fehring said in the release. “This new growth opportunity will enhance profitability while remaining true to our commitment to serving our community, a cornerstone of our philosophy. Strengthening our mortgage division will allow us to better serve individuals, families and businesses looking to deepen their roots in our community.”
“The newest additions to our mortgage team are among the most capable and accomplished professionals in the mortgage business,” Timothy Mackay, executive vice president of consumer banking at Level One, said. “This expansion enables us to leverage our infrastructure and build on the success of our existing mortgage team. Level One Bank continues to be a destination for top talent and that will translate to the client experience.”
The Ann Arbor Team will move into Level One Bank’s newest Mortgage Loan Center, located at 1328 S. Main St., Ann Arbor, MI 48104. The Northville Team will be located at existing Level One Bank locations in Novi, Northville and Farmington Hills.
