Industry Veterans Craig Thomason, Larry Torch Join Certainty Home Lending

National mortgage lender Certainty Home Lending, a Rate Company, has appointed long time mortgage origination professionals Larry Torch as Executive Vice President, Divisional Manager and Craig Thomason as Vice President, Mortgage Lending.

Torch’s mortgage lending career began in 1991. He comes to Certainty after 13 years with one of the largest national mortgage lenders, where he was the Southwest Regional Manager. Before that, he spent eight years with a large, global depositary, where he was Senior Vice President and Regional Sales Executive for Illinois and Wisconsin supporting 175 home loan consultants across 18 branches.

Thomason also joins Certainty with over 30 years of mortgage experience and has held key roles with multiple leading banks and financial institutions over his career. A resident of Northern California, he will serve as VP of Mortgage Lending with a focus on the markets in that region.

“Larry is a 12 time Circle of Excellence award winner who has consistently led a market by producing billions of dollars annually and he’s put thousands of customers into homes,” said CEO Franco Terango. “And while his incredible track record speaks for itself, he prides himself much more on truly hearing what his clients want, helping them determine their needs and then delivering the most appropriate product to meet that need.”

“Craig also comes to us with a stellar reputation and proven record of success,” continued Terango. “He began his career as a personal banker and has carried that experience throughout his mortgage banking career. Accordingly, he treats each borrower as if they were his only customer and provides a level of service that has repeatedly impressed clients and peers alike.”
