Irvine, Calif.—Wallick & Volk Mortgage has opened a new branch in Irvine, Calif., this week, at 3240 El Camino Real, Suite 240. The new branch is part of Market Place Center, a 22-building office complex totaling 1.3 million square feet and featuring almost 5,000 parking spaces. Irvine Co. is the owner of the campus.

“Irvine was a sensible choice for us being in the heart of Orange County. We are a family-owned lender committed to educating our borrowers about the home loan process so they can make informed decisions regarding one of the largest financial decisions they may make in their lifetimes. Over 70 percent of households in Orange County are occupied by families and we think Irvine residents will enjoy working with a lender that does not use a one-size-fits-all approach to obtaining a mortgage,” said Senior Vice President Bill Lawton in prepared remarks.

This is the company’s second new branch in Southern California in the last six months, after the Long Beach branch opened in last November. The firm’s President Michael Groff mentioned that the firm has been present on the Southern Californian market since August 2010, when its first branch opened in Bonita. The residential mortgage lender founded in 1932 has 25 branches in six Western states.
