Empowered with an increased warehouse line, a mortgage lender based in California recently added several dozen employees and is still hiring.
The company is First California Mortgage.
According to an announcement Saturday, the Petaluma-based firm added $110 million in warehouse lending capacity this year. A combination of the increased lines as well as increased mortgage demand has fueled new hirings.
First Cal said that around 70 employees have been hired since June.
Headcount currently stands at 200, a spokeswoman said in a statement.
The new recruits are based in Arizona, California and Colorado.
Among the positions filled are funders and underwriters.
Shannon Furr, human resources director for the company, added, “And we are still accepting resumes.”
Open positions include operational jobs such as client service advocate, set up roles and processing. Other positions are available in funding, conventional underwriting and government underwriting positions.
In addition, First Cal said it is continually expanding its sales team’s with the addition of account executives and branch managers.
The lender, which said it operates in a total of nine states, noted that it has funded more than $200 billion in home loans during its 30-year history.
