Mortgage Network Recruits Sales Leader for Southeast Region

Larry Gunnin, a mortgage industry veteran with more than three decades of experience, joined Mortgage Network Inc. as Southeast regional manager, the company announced.

Gunnin's long work history includes extensive experience recruiting loan officers, opening new branches, and generating billions of dollars in annual origination volume for high-performing sales operations.

Throughout his career, Gunnin has worked at PennyMac, Academy Mortgage, and PrimeLending, among others. His longest stretch was spent at Countrywide Home Loans, where he led the company's sales efforts in the South, including the opening of 32 branch offices and management of hundreds of officers, managers, and operations employees. During that time, his region was ranked top in the nation for eight consecutive years.

As regional manager for Mortgage Network, he is now responsible for leading the company's strategic growth in the southern part of the country by opening branches and recruiting professionals in areas where the firm doesn't currently have a presence.

"If you had to pick one person to grow a mortgage company in the southern part of the country, that person would have be Larry Gunnin," said Brian Koss, EVP of Mortgage Network. "Not only does Larry have the experience, relationships and vision to expand our presence, he knows exactly what makes great teams work. His track record speaks for itself. We're very fortunate to have him."
