Memphis,TN. Commercial Bank and Trust has expanded its mortgage division with the addition of a new sales manager, and three new mortgage loan originators including the launch of a mortgage operation in Jackson, TN.

Teresa Beach has joined Commercial Bank and Trust as a Residential Mortgage Sales Manager.
A life-long Memphian, Teresa Beach, has worked in mortgage lending for 15 years, working in almost every area of mortgage lending including owning her own mortgage company before joining Commercial Bank and Trust. Her experience gives her in-depth knowledge of all the mortgage options available to customers today.

Also joining the bank’s mortgage division are Liz Miller in Memphis and Ellis Stubbs in Desoto County, MS. Launching the Jackson mortgage operation is Brooke Paladichuk, serving as their residential mortgage loan originator.

“With the national news about mortgages and home sales being somewhat negative, people who are not familiar with our bank may wonder why we chose to significantly increase our mortgage operation now,” noted Mott Ford, CEO of Commercial Bank and Trust. “We believe there is strength and opportunity in the local markets we serve. More importantly, we are confident in the abilities of this team of people to deliver top quality service in matching people with the right type of mortgage for their goals in this environment.”

Commercial Bank and Trust also has mortgage operations in Paris and Union City, TN. The bank is locally owned and operated which allows all mortgage financing decisions to be made locally.

“Local ownership gives us the ability to make decisions without having to deal with a parent company out of state. Clients really need and appreciate a faster response time.” says Beach.

Commercial Bank and Trust was chartered in 1877. The bank has operations in Memphis, Jackson, Paris, Henry and Union City, Tennessee as well as DeSoto County, MS. Commercial Bank and Trust’s customers have free access to one of the largest ATM networks in Tennessee.
