Castle & Cooke Mortgage, one of America’s leading independent mortgage lenders, continues its nationwide expansion with the opening of its first office on Kauai.
John Dispirito, an island local with 36 years in the mortgage industry, manages the branch. Prior to joining Castle & Cooke Mortgage, Dispirito was the Western region vice president for The Money Store and a branch manager for FirstCal Mortgage. He has held positions from loan officer to vice president of sales and operations.
“I have lived in Kauai for 13 years, and in that time, I have come to embrace this island as my home,” Dispirito said. “With very few licensed loan officers locally available, I hope my team and I can provide a much-needed service to the people of Kauai, while sharing the aloha spirit that defines who we are and runs deep in the Castle & Cooke roots.”
Ray Beltran, Castle & Cooke Mortgage area manager, said Dispirito has deep community connections and extensive regional mortgage experience, allowing him to tailor his services to Hawaii’s homebuyers.
Headquartered in Draper, Utah, Castle & Cooke Mortgage has nearly 400 employees nationwide.Related stories:
