DAVID KANIS

Move-Up Buyer Specialist & Branch Manager, NMLS# 113607

In the mortgage business for over 25 years, David understands that every mortgage loan should be viewed as a smart investment tool, and not just a necessary evil to getting a house. Before offering any loan, he looks at the whole qualifying picture, including what objectives the mortgage needs to accomplish for the family…only then does he offer a solution. A strategic planner, David’s “Smart Money Mortgage” approach means, the loan will do much more than just put a person in a home.

Dana Archambeau

Senior Loan Processor

Dana began her mortgage career in the Neolithic Period, around 12,000 years ago with the Bedrock Bank & Trust (the ORIGINAL BB&T).  From the beginning, Dana LOVED helping First Time Cave Owners find their dream caves.  But she has seen a few changes in the industry. Today, she no longer has to battle saber-tooth tigers for cave-squatting rights.  But she does push and sometimes fight your loan file to the closing table.  Dana is our power-house Loan Processor and quite simply, she is the reason that our loans close on time!

Howie is a native of Weaverville, NC and has been in the mortgage industry for 10+ years. He lived and worked in several parts of the country, but “HOME always calls you back”, according to Howie. The hospitality industry and an architectural career were built the foundation of his skillset that eventually launched his mortgage career. Howie works as a Loan Officer & Assistant, and has a genuine desire to help people ‘drop roots’ here in the mountains. He went on to say, “I really love hearing all the stories behind the mortgage. That’s the good stuff!”
