Walpole, Mass. based Mortgage Master opened a new retail branch office in Northbrook, Ill., creating the lender’s fourth retail branch in the Greater Chicago area and the fifth in the Midwest region.

In light of the expansion, Mortgage Master hired industry veterans Jorden Brok and Brett Lotsoff as co-branch managers.

Together, Brok and Lotsoff have closed more than $2 billion in loan volume.

“We are extremely lucky to have Jorden and Brett, both exceptional leaders and mortgage origination professionals, join Mortgage Master to build our business and brand in this important Midwest market,” said Paul Anastos, president of Mortgage Master.

“Business and excitement is already building about the Northbrook office, which is off to a fast start in helping borrowers purchase or refinance a home while interest rates are still historically low. Their leadership skills will help Mortgage Master continue to deliver dynamic service and the best possible pricing to borrowers in Chicagoland and throughout the Midwest,” Anastos continued.
