Mortgage veteran Donny Panasis has joined Embrace Home Loans as branch manager of its Viera, Florida office, where he and his team will originate loans for both existing and new construction homes.
Panasis will also lead the branch’s growth initiatives, including immediately recruiting loan officers and developing relationships with real estate brokerages, homebuilders and financial advisors.
Panasis previously served as a loan originator for The Mortgage Firm and TD Bank. With nearly 10 years of lending experience, he is committed to delivering exceptional service whether working with first-time homebuyers or seasoned homeowners looking to refinance.
“What attracted me to Embrace can be summed up in one word: culture,” Panasis says in a release. “The entire Embrace team feels more like a family where everyone supports each other for the common goal—to provide an excellent experience for the client and to do the job better than anyone else in the industry.”
“By combining great technology, affordable rates and terms, industry-leading tools, and supportive culture, Embrace Home Loans is positioned to make sure our clients get the best deal for their specific needs,” Panasis adds.
Jason Will, senior vice president of growth and southeast regional executive at Embrace Home Loans, says Panasis’ “commitment to exceptional client service, strong leadership skills, and deep community connections make him the perfect fit. We’re confident his expertise will be instrumental in growing our presence in the thriving Space Coast market.”
Panasis is an active member of the Space Coast Association of Realtors and the Home Builders & Contractors Association. He also serves as a board member of 321Millennials, a philanthropic organization dedicated to giving back to the community.
