Capital Bank, N.A., announces that Brian Blonder, a nationally ranked Top 10 loan officer, has been promoted to Senior Vice President, Mortgage Sales. Blonder will lead the sales team in this newly created position to further grow Capital Bank Mortgage.

"With our mortgage division growing so quickly, we established this new role to lead the strategic direction of our sales team," said Filip Feller, Executive Vice President/CFO of Capital Bank.

Capital Bank has consistently grown its mortgage origination volume and staff numbers over the past four years. The mortgage division specializes in residential loans – conventional, VA and FHA products – and over the past two years has originated one of the largest volumes of VA-backed home loans in the country for a bank of its asset class (under $1 billion). By creating the SVP Mortgage Sales position the regional bank, headquartered in Maryland, is sending a signal that it intends to concentrate on expanding this part of its business regionally.

"We promoted someone from within who knows the way things are done at Capital Bank," said Feller. "Brian is a mortgage visionary and I can't think of anyone better to lead our business into the future. His leadership will ensure we continue to deliver world-class customer service and efficiency to the Bank."

Blonder has been a mortgage loan originator with Capital Bank Mortgage for two and a half years. He was ranked in the Top 10 loan originators in America for 2015 by leading industry resource Scotsman Guide and also by Mortgage Executive Magazine.
