Known as one of the largest retail mortgage companies in the nation – Guaranteed Rate announces it’s expansion to Texas. In addition to the move, the company will also be appointing a new head of regional sales and operations for both their Texas and Oklahoma offices.

Recently joined as the new senior vice president and regional manager, the former AmeriPro Funding vice president Juli Rennie will now oversee mortgage lending in the two southwestern states and focus especially in the company’s key home loan markets of Dallas, Houston and Austin. She will also be responsible for recruiting top area loan originators for Texas’ offices Southlake and Frisco, and as well as opening other new locations in the region during the next 12 months.

“Juli is a tremendous addition to Guaranteed Rate and has already had a number of successes fueling our growth in Texas,” said Tom Gamache, Guaranteed Rate’s national director of retail production. “She has brought on board top originators in the Austin and Dallas-Forth Worth areas, which helps us bring our low-rate, low fee mortgages to more home buyers in this rapidly growing state.”
