Virginia-based loan officer hits major
milestone in just 14 years at Embrace
MIDDLETOWN, R.I., July 12,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Embrace Home Loans, a
top-ranked national mortgage lender, announced that loan officer
Patrick Holland surpassed
$1 billion in career loan
originations earlier this month. Holland, who has been with Embrace
since 2010, manages the Fairfax,
Virginia branch and also serves as a company vice
president.
Holland is the top producing originator at Embrace and has been
among the top one percent of mortgage originators nationwide for
the past 10 years. He primarily serves borrowers in the
Maryland, Virginia and Washington, DC areas.
Holland attributes his success to hard work and his dedication
to borrowers. "Regardless of shifting market conditions and
interest rates, people always need good advice and a mortgage
professional who cares when they're making the biggest financial
decision of their lives," he said. "I truly enjoy what I do, which
is why so many of my clients come back and recommend me to their
friends and family."
Holland also gave credit to his dedicated team of processors,
underwriters, marketing professionals and closers, as well as his
family. His lead processor, Angel
Stephan, has worked with Holland for 10 years. "The culture
at Embrace is fantastic," Holland said. "Our senior leaders support
and encourage every loan officer and provide us with all the tools
we need to be successful."
Holland has received numerous awards throughout his career,
including as a "Top 50 Originator" from National Mortgage News,
Scotsman Guide and The Originators Guide. He is part of the
Founders Club at Embrace and has consistently been named to the
company's President's Club.
"Pat has reached a production milestone few in the industry have
achieved," said Tim Higgins, senior
vice president, Retail Sales. "He has helped countless families get
into their dream homes. Pat is a top branch manager with a team of
15 loan officers and coaching, mentoring and helping each of them
build their business is a top priority for him."
Holland strongly believes in giving back to the community and
volunteers his time to several causes, including Veterans and
children with special needs. He was recognized by Embrace in 2020
for helping veterans acquire service dogs free of charge through
Veterans Moving Forward, a Dulles, Virginia-based nonprofit that raises and
provides service dogs for veterans with physical or mental health
challenges at no cost.
Holland, who comes from a military family, has been recognized
by the U.S. Army with a Public Service Commendation Medal, one of
the highest civilian honors the Army presents. VA loans make up
about a third of Holland's originations. He also works with FHA,
conventional and other types of loans.
"Patrick is a major contributor to our success," said Embrace
Home Loans CEO Ryan "Buddy" Hardiman. "He has accomplished so much
in the past 14 years, and his strong work ethic and his willingness
to help others have set a great example for all our employees."
