FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New Story Lending: Pioneering Inclusivity and Empowerment in Home Financing

Easley, South Carolina July 1, 2024 — New Story Lending proudly announces its partnership with The National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals® (NAHREP®), Southeast Region.  Given its foundational start as a dynamic and inclusive independent mortgage bank, it was the logical next step in furthering its mission. As a company built on the pillars of diversity, integrity, and community advocacy, New Story Lending aims to revolutionize the mortgage industry by breaking barriers to homeownership—creating an environment where housing is accessible and attainable for all.

Championing Diversity and Empowerment

A proud Latino and co-owner of New Story Lending, Juan Rodas brings a unique perspective and passion to the company. His journey is one of resilience, dedication, and a steadfast commitment to uplifting underserved communities. Juan’s experiences as a minority navigating the financial landscape have fueled his drive to create a lending institution that not only understands but also addresses the unique challenges faced by the Hispanic community.

“As one of few Latino owned mortgage banks in the country, I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to own their story, and homeownership is a fundamental part of that narrative. New Story Lending is dedicated to breaking down barriers and providing personalized support to ensure that all individuals, regardless of their background, can achieve their dream of owning a home,” says Juan.

The Southeast region is home to over 13.2 million Latinos and represents a key market for Latino homeownership growth,” said Daisy Lopez-Cid, former NAHREP National President and Broker Owner – RE/MAX Town Centre & RE/MAX Premier Properties. “We are proud to partner with New Story Lending to help empower sustainable homeownership for Latinos in the region.”
