Top Arizona Mortgage Companies Join,

See Strong Future for State

Suburban Mortgage and Interlink Mortgage Marry

40 Years Experience For Greater Customer Service

(Phoenix, Ariz. – December 2007) In the last 20 years, Suburban Mortgage, Inc. and Interlink Mortgage Corporation have seen the ups and downs inherent to the real estate industry. Since 1988 the two companies have used their experience and reputation to grow during the boom periods as well as the downturns. This month, the two businesses joined forces and mark their new partnership as a tribute to the long-term strength they continue to see in the Arizona house and lending market.

            Interlink Mortgage founder James Batstone and Tom Reid, founder of Suburban Mortgage, had similar visions 20 years ago. Both veterans in the mortgage industry, they started their companies to provide full-service residential lending to Arizonans with an emphasis on customer service. While Batstone preferred an intimate boutique business model of a mortgage broker, Reid grew Suburban Mortgage into one of the largest mortgage banking companies in Arizona. Both are regarded and respected as the top experts in their field.

            According to Tom Osselaer, executive vice president at Suburban Mortgage, the joining of these two leading companies is an evolution. “Jim and Interlink Mortgage share the high standards we have for service to our clients and the decades of experience to see beyond the current struggles in our industry,” he said.  “The ability to partner with Interlink and other quality individuals and organizations in the business is vital to everyone’s ability to move towards the future.”

            Batstone agrees. “This is a marriage of ideals. Customer service is a philosophy Interlink and Suburban Mortgage have shared since the beginning. It’s fundamental to what it means in our business. I’m more excited than ever about the direction of our company,” he said.

            Going forward as Suburban Mortgage, Inc., the company will continue to focus on providing a full range of mortgage products to both homeowners and homebuilders in Arizona. Suburban Mortgage remains the largest privately held full-service mortgage banker in the state with 145 employees and 10 branches located throughout Arizona. Indicative of its individual attention to its clients, Suburban Mortgage enables its branches to manage all aspects of the loan origination process – processing, underwriting and closing. Suburban Mortgage is also the largest FHA mortgage banker in Maricopa County and one of the few lenders in Arizona that has access to hundreds of loan products and options. These resources allow its loan officers the ability to develop a loan strategy for every client.

“There is a place for all levels of experience on our team, and we continue to look for and hire the best in Arizona,” Osselaer said. “Suburban Mortgage is large enough to provide incredible options to its employees and clients, but small enough to react immediately to the challenges and opportunities we see in the business today.”
