Total Mortgage Expands Headquarters to Accommodate Companywide Growth Total Mortgage Services LLC has expanded its Milford, Conn.-based headquarters with the addition of an additional 2,000-sq.-ft. of office space which will house the company’s senior leadership. The new space is part of the same building complex where Total Mortgage’s origination and operation centers are located. Total Mortgage now occupies more than 10,000-sq.-ft. of office space at its headquarters on West Main Street in Milford, Conn. as well as other regional offices. “We have been part of the City of Milford’s business community since 1997, and we are excited about our rapid growth,” said John Walsh, founder and president of Total Mortgage Services. “We have hired more than 30 new employees over the past year, and our expansion is direct result of the success of both our retail and wholesale lending platforms.” Total Mortgage is actively hiring fully-licensed, experienced loan officers, as well as marketing and operational staff. The company is now licensed in 27 states and the District of Columbia with plans to be licensed in all 50 states in the near future. “Amid a struggling national economy, Total Mortgage has become a key employer in Milford, and the expansions of its operations is a win-win situation for both the company and our city,” said Benjamin G. Blake, mayor of the city of Milford, Conn. “Total Mortgage will continue to leverage New Haven County’s well-educated, diverse workforce as they further grow their business, while Milford can count on one of the nation’s most responsible lenders to be an integral part of our local economy.”

Redmond is a 25-year veteran of the mortgage industry and a lifelong area resident. A member of the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) and the Kansas City Regional Association of Realtors (KCRAR), Redmond spends his free time outside of the office experimenting with gourmet recipes, flying planes and volunteering with Welcome House. “As REMN expands in the Midwest, it’s important to us that we bring on mortgage industry professionals that embody our commitment to customer service and quality in helping people secure mortgages for their homes,” said Cathy Stroud, regional VP for REMN. “Greg’s reputation is well known in the Kansas City lending community and he’s a great choice to oversee our new office.” In addition to Redmond, Jennifer Bailey is joining the new Kansas City office as its first operations manager. A long-time area resident, Bailey has also worked in the lending industry for more than 25 years. When not in the office, she enjoys watching football with her family, being outside with her two dogs and volunteering at Grace Hospice. REMN currently has more than 40 retail offices licensed to originate loans across the continental U.S., in addition to their online consumer direct division, which is doing business as FinanceMyHome.com. The company employs more than 600 people throughout offices in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee and Vermont. In 2011 alone, REMN closed more than $2.3 billion in home loans.
