Andrew Chavez Earns Role as UMortgage’s National Director of Sales Development

PHILADELPHIA, PA., June 6th, 2024 — UMortgage announced today that Andrew Chavez has stepped into the role of National Director of Sales Development. In his new role, Chavez will partner with Branch Managers to develop sales strategies, training seminars, and growth initiatives to National produce a consistent and excellent client experience for all UMortgage homebuyers.

Before he entered the mortgage space, Chavez served 9 years in the United States Army Special Forces. During his distinguished military career as a Green Beret, he earned several honors including a Bronze Star for exemplary leadership during the Global War on Terrorism and a valor award for bravery in Afghanistan.

Chavez’s passion for instructing and developing leaders led him to his new role. While in the military, he was tasked to develop Special Forces soldiers and National Defense contractors at an elite level. That passion continued after his time in the military and manifested itself through his leadership at his brokerage, UMortgage Springfield.

“It’s an honor to assume this position alongside many other distinguished senior leaders at UMortgage,” expressed Chavez. “In this new role, I’m looking forward to taking my years of training and development experience to provide our Branch Managers & LOs with new tools, resources, and perspectives that will enable them to better support their local communities and become the best versions of themselves.”

At the start of the year, Chavez transitioned his brokerage to the UMortgage platform to offer more accessible homebuying opportunities to its community throughout Missouri. Since making the switch, UMortgage Springfield has become one of the 10 top-producing branches year-to-date at UMortgage.

Chavez’s leadership and development skills have been imperative to the continued growth of the UMortgage platforms since his arrival in January. Back-to-back record months for funded units and volume in April and May catalyzed the platform’s best start to a yearly cycle with more than $1 billion in funded volume by the end of May–a milestone reached 6 weeks faster than the same last year when UMortgage surpassed $1 billion at the end of June 2023.

In his role as National Director of Sales Development, Chavez will lay the groundwork for UMortgage’s Branch Managers and their teams of Loan Originators to continue the company’s trajectory for another year of record growth.
