Archie Vetter epitomizes the mortgage lending industry's very best. Bringing two decades of knowledge and experience to Neighborhood Loans, we are honored to have him on our team as a VP of mortgage lending. He specializes in jumbo, conventional, FHA, VA, Non-QM, and renovation loans across sixteen states - Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, Nevada, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and Wisconsin. Joining the industry right out of Eastern Illinois University, Vetter was recruited as an account executive before transitioning into a loan officer position. "I actually went to school to become a teacher, but my brother-in-law was working for a lender as a processor and inspired me to join him," he explains. "I ultimately learned the trade through complete immersion." Citing his adaptability and accessibility as fundamental to achieving his best year yet, Vetter prides himself on maintaining open lines of communication and customizing each loan to best fit the client's financial portfolio. "Without a question, my knowledge of this business and process-driven approach are what help me rise above the competition. The bottom line is - I always make myself available and respectful of my client's scenario."
