Shirley Mueller has been Recognized as First Choice Loan Originator of the Year

AUSTIN, TX (June 20, 2016) – New Jersey-based residential mortgage lender First Choice Loan Services Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of First Choice Bank, proudly announces Austin-based Loan Originator Shirley Mueller is the company’s Retail Loan Originator of the Year for 2015.

Chosen based on the ways she embodies the core values of First Choice Loan Services, Mueller was selected from over 150 First Choice Loan Services Loan Originators. The company’s core values are: working with honesty and integrity, operating on a foundation of teamwork, respecting and honoring the worth of each individual, being proactively nimble, and providing service beyond belief.

First Choice Loan Services Executive Vice President of National Production James Iley is very proud of Mueller for receiving this recognition.

“I’ve had the pleasure of knowing and working with Shirley for quite some time now. I’ve always held the deepest amount of respect for the quality of work that she does and the heart that she puts into it,” said Iley. “Most notably, Shirley daily demonstrates a deep devotion to the Veteran community in Texas. The passion this brings to her business results in her not only being one of our top producers but also in a long list of happy and satisfied homebuyers, homeowners and business partners that work with her.”

According to First Choice Loan Services President and Chief Executive Officer Norman T. Koenigsberg Mueller stood out as a clear choice to earn this honor.

“Throughout our organization, First Choice has outstanding Loan Originators from coast to coast. While her outstanding production helps Shirley rise to the top of the list, Shirley distinguishes herself even more through her focus and dedication to Texas Veterans,” said Koenigsberg. “It’s a passion like this that makes Shirley a success and admired throughout the mortgage industry.”

This is the first year for First Choice Loan Services to name a Retail Loan Originator of the Year, and she tied for this honor with Scottsdale-based First Choice Loan Services Loan Originator Jimmy Vercellino. Mueller is humbled to receive the award.

“It is such an honor to be named one of the first Retail Loan Originators of the Year for First Choice Loan Services,” said Mueller. “I’m lucky to love what I do and have my business based at a company that provides tremendous support. Veterans have given so much to protect and serve our nation that it is an honor for me to work with them, get to know who they are, hear their stories and at the same time, help them find home financing that lets them achieve the American dream of homeownership.”

Mueller also has been ranked among the Top 1% of Mortgage Originators in American in 2015 byMortgage Executive Magazine and for Top VA Loan Volume by the Scotsman Guide for 2015.
