MORTGAGE NETWORK OPENS BRANCH IN FREEPORT, MAINE Grand opening with Freeport and Yarmouth chambers scheduled for November 12th

DANVERS, MA – November 3, 2014 ─ Mortgage Network Inc., one of the largest independent

mortgage lenders in the eastern U.S., will celebrate the grand opening of its new branch office in

Freeport, Maine on November 12, 2014 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and refreshments. The

Freeport office will focus on helping borrowers throughout the southeast Portland area with their

home financing needs, offering a full range of mortgage loans that include conventional, non-

conventional, government and reverse mortgage loans.

The new office will be led by Dean Gilbert (NMLS #22845), who has more than 14 years of

mortgage banking experience in Maine in addition to an extensive knowledge of FHA, USDA and

conventional mortgage loan products.

Based in Danvers, Massachusetts, Mortgage Network provides a complete range of

conventional, non-conventional, government and reverse residential mortgage loans. Since

2000, the company has sold more than $35 billion in mortgage loans while building a reputation

for delivering nationally acclaimed customer service.

“The southern Maine housing market continues to grow as many residents are taking advantage

of low interest rates to buy their first home, or trade up or trade down their current residence,”

Gilbert said. “Yet there are very few choices when it comes to neighborhood lenders. Our new

location is perfectly situated to provide personal, local service to borrowers from Brunswick to

Portland and beyond.”

“Nationwide, mortgage origination volume has been down, and yet Mortgage Network

continues to grow,” said Brian Koss, executive vice president of Mortgage Network. “Our strategy

of opening branches in areas where housing is rebounding and where consumers are hungry for

great products and excellent customer service, like Freeport, is clearly paying off.”

The grand opening of Mortgage Network’s Freeport office begins at 11:30 a.m. on November at

the branch office, located at 540 U.S. Route 1 in Freeport. The Freeport Chamber of Commerce,

the Yarmouth Chamber of Commerce and local and community leaders are expected to

participate. Gilbert can be reached at (207) 417-7003, online at www.Dean-Gilbert.com, or by

email at dgilbert@mortgagenetwork.com.
