IndyMac is opening a regional office in Tampa as the company is taking a brave plan of expansion in the face of a slowing mortgage market. They are adding 140 jobs in the Tampa area.
The 12,187 square foot facility is located in the Centerpointe office building at 5100 W. Lemon St. When fully staffed, the new center will create more than 140 jobs in the Tampa area, 100 in operations and 40 in sales, the company said. It will employ individuals involved in underwriting and funding, various support positions, and sales.
“At a time when other mortgage companies are downsizing and closing operations centers, Indymac is continuing to expand into additional regional markets,” said Frank Sillman, chief executive officer of Indymac’s Mortgage Bank, in a release.
With the Tampa office, Indymac will operate a total of 15 regional mortgage centers and employ 3,300 mortgage professionals and more than 7,200 individuals. via Tampa Bay Business Journal:.
