Grant Laviale - Area Manager

Grant Laviale - Area Manager I'm a Non Producing Area Manager looking for Branch Managers and teams for California and Arizona. Remember balance is important for a healthy life.

Originally born and raised in New York, moved from Northern California to Santa Barbara to attend UCSB and never left. Being married and the father of three children has taught me many things. In my free time, I enjoy going to the gym in the early morning, going to the movies with my wife and family, and golfing with clients and friends. I truly enjoy what I do and believe its the all about the pe

ople and leadership that separates us from my experience in both the Mortgage and Banking Industry. It's important to have a "Positive" work culture and support structure in place, especially during difficult periods. I am committed to ensuring our clients and referral partners have only the best experience and advice possible. Perhaps this is why for 2021, we were the #2 Non-Bank Purchase Originator in the Country, #4 Overall Non-Bank Originator (Purchase & Refi), Top 2 Lender for Overall VA & FHA Volume per Scotsman Guide, #3 Latino Originator per NAHREP, and Tech Trendsetter per HousingWire. My core values and beliefs are:

1) Always seek and be open to improvement.
2) It's important to stay positive. My glass is always half full.
3) Be and stay humble.
4) Family first always. I am a Non-Producing Area Manager that is looking for Sales Managers and Loan Advisers for the Central Coast from Paso Robles to Ventura/Oxnard that live by Integrity and Sincerity. Let's connect now to hear how we can align and grow your business together. Connect with me:
