EagleBank, today, announced the addition of Mehdi Pirzadeh, another outstanding loan producer who placed #41 on Scotsman Guide 2012 Top Originators List. Ranking for this national list is based on total loan dollar volume for the year. EagleBank's Residential Lending team earned the Bank fifth place nationwide on the "Most Ranked Originators on Top Volume List."

Pirzadeh has closed over $100-million in loan volume every year since 2005, thus his continued ranking, nationwide, in Scotsman Guide Top 100 Mortgage Originators. He came to the USA from Tehran, Iran at a young age, grew up in Bethesda, MD, and graduated from the University of Maryland with a B.S. in Finance and Information Systems. Starting out in the software industry, he quickly realized his true calling was matching dreams of home ownership to individual financial realities and making it work. 

Commenting on EagleBank's Mortgage Division, Chairman and CEO Ronald D. Paul said, "We are excited to have Mehdi join our team and proud that our bank, with its continued growth and strength is attracting top quality professionals like Mehdi in every area of our bank. Our success is based on good people building loyal customer relationships through superior service."
