New American Funding has a reason to celebrate the end of summer thanks to a recent honor bestowed on the company by Top Agent Magazine. The publication named New American’s managing director, Patty Arvielo, to its annual roster of Top California Mortgage Vendors.

After nearly three decades in the mortgage industry, Arvielo and her husband founded New American in 2003. In her leadership role for the company, Arvielo is responsible for managing New American’s operations, sales, and 550-plus employees in seven branches across the U.S.

Additionally, Arvielo continues to perform as a thriving originator, generating between $3 and $5 million in home loans on a monthly basis. Arvielo is also a member of the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals, and she serves on the Mortgage Bankers Association’s risk management committee.

“Our business is volatile, and this keeps me in touch with the street. We have 250 loan officers, and at any given moment, I know exactly how they feel,” noted Arvielo in a recent release from New American.
