Business & Leadership: NOLA Lending Group

When NOLA Lending Group became a division of Fidelity Bank in 2014, their already flexible index of products expanded. The result is more flexibility and customization options for client needs.

Finding the right solution is an everyday task for everyone at NOLA Lending Group, said Courtney Jenkins, senior loan officer.

“Home ownership is a dream for so many, but it’s my job and joy to make it a reality. Not every loan is a slam dunk, but I’m a problem solver. Our clients know we will take the time needed to find a way,” she said.

“Our loan officers don’t take a cookie cutter approach to lending and take time to review each client’s specific scenario with underwriters to ensure they receive the best service and product available,” said Nathan Fouqet, another of NOLA Lending Group’s loan officers.

“We don’t fit all clients to one product; we find a product to fit each client,” said Loan Officer Mia Hegwood.

Loan Officer Jennifer Ricks said seeking out the right product is the key to success.

“Whether the project is big or small, I will do everything in my power to help clients reach their goals. From selecting the best product to customizing a step-by-step plan, I’m here for the entire journey,” she said. “It’s so rewarding to be able to congratulate a family on the new home they never thought they could have. That’s why I became a loan officer. I love helping others.”

Educating clients is another way NOLA Lending Group lives their mission to be HERE FOR GOOD.

“Understanding the choices that they are making helps my clients sleep better at night,” said Senior Loan Officer Jennifer Lovecchio. “I love educating clients on our products and on making sound financial decisions. This helps to ensure their future success.”

Loan Officer Stephany Ezell said she knows the importance of a caring and dedicated loan officer from personal experience.

“When my husband and I bought our first and current home, our mortgage lender held our hand every step of the way. I have been in your shoes and know purchasing a home is one of the biggest investments in your life. Now I get to be the one to help guide, and I respect the depth of that responsibility,” she said.

“I love how many new people you meet in this industry,” said Loan Officer Nathan Hubbell. “Great relationships have been vital to my success. Recommendations happen organically when you leave people with a positive experience. I want every customer to feel as if they are the most important person in the world. I want to be that resource that will go above and beyond and will be available long after the transaction.”

Senior Loan Officer Courtlin Donner-Noggerath underscores the importance of a lasting relationship. “You should think of your loan officer as your mortgage concierge. My goal is to be a lifetime advisor and help our clients build long-term wealth through residential real estate,” she said.

Mortgage Sales Manager Leigh Harrison said combining the latest technology with personable service and an extensive selection of products make Fidelity and NOLA Lending Group a one-stop shop for customers’ financial needs.

“We love being a part of this community, and are invested in its and your success,” she said. “Production, marketing, and training are my primary functions, but my passion is finding solutions for our customers. Even after 25 years, I still love the challenge and excitement when we come together as a team and can make a customer a homeowner.”
