New American Funding, a leader in the mortgage industry, has expanded its top-performing Southeast territory to include a branch in Augusta, Georgia. It is located at 1231 Augusta West Parkway and will celebrate its grand opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday, Oct. 17, at 4:30 p.m. EST.

The Augusta location will be a full-service home loan provider equipped to meet the mortgage needs of local consumers and partners by offering a complete spectrum of purchase and refinance loan options.

"I'm so excited to bring New American Funding to Augusta," said Regional Manager Jason Redman (NMLS #448624). "We offer a broad range of products and flexible underwriting guidelines that allow us to support our clients with any loan type."

Redman, a military veteran and former police officer with more than 18 years in lending, came to New American Funding in May 2018. A native of Augusta, he has worked closely with builders, Real Estate Agents and buyers. He's very involved in the Augusta community working with veterans and, working with the City of Augusta to improve home ownership.

"The Augusta market is robust; we don't experience housing ebbs and flows like other cities," he said. "We have Fort Gordon, all four military branches, and Augusta is a hub for national cyber security. Add two nuclear facilities and one of the nation's largest medical colleges, and we have unending housing demand.

Southeast Division President Kelly Allison knew it was the right time to bring New American Funding to Augusta.

"Jason is the ideal person to lead the Augusta market," she said. "His leadership, entrepreneurship and lending-industry experience are unparalleled. This will strengthen our relationships with our industry partners, who are also our community partners."
