This is the first year for First Choice Loan Services to name a Retail Loan Originator of the Year, and Jimmy is excited to receive the honor.
“Since this is a new award for our company, I had no idea that this was even a possibility, so I’m extremely humbled to be recognized as one of the first Retail Loan Originators of the Year,” said Vercellino. “I truly love what I do. Serving our country’s Veterans is my life’s calling. Knowing how these Veterans served and experiencing the sacrifices that they made, it helps me feel as though I’m continuing my service to our country. Aside from my family, being able to assist them in achieving the dream of home ownership is the most rewarding thing in my life.”
Embodying Core Values
Jimmy was chosen based on the ways he embodies the core values of First Choice Loan Services, and was selected from over 150 First Choice Loan Services Loan Originators. The company’s core values are:
- working with honesty and integrity

First Choice Loan Services Scottsdale Branch Manager RJ Crosby is extremely proud of Vercellino for receiving this recognition.
