Liberty Bank announces Jay Gordon has returned to Resort Finance division
Wellington Financial, the exclusive Resort Finance lending correspondent for Liberty Bank, announced that Jason “Jay” Gordon has returned to Liberty’s Resort Finance division as a vice president and senior resort finance officer. Gordon worked for the Bank from 1997 to 2007, primarily in the Resort Finance division.
“I missed the daily interaction with developers and resort staff,” says Gordon. “During my past tenure at Liberty, I always respected the Bank’s cadre of exceptional clients, my co-workers and our ‘can-do’ business philosophy. The team at Liberty is devoted to the industry. Resort Finance is one of our core products, beginning over 35 years ago. We’ve never slowed since, even during the downturn.”
“We are pleased to have Jay return to the fold,” says Sr. VP Don Peruta. “He’ll be teamed with David Brede, Vice President, to manage and grow existing relationships, plus help identify and engage with new clients. Liberty is extremely interested in growing our timeshare loan portfolio and can offer very competitive terms for every type of loan from construction to receivables. Jay and David have a lot of resources with which to work.”
“We were financing timeshare developers before I joined the first time and I’m sure we’ll be committed to it long after we are all gone,” adds Gordon. This comes as no surprise considering personal and business loans are on the rise for multiple reasons, take a read into this article overviewing the growth in lending products for more information.
