CALABASAS, CA (Feb. 14, 2018) – Draper and Kramer Mortgage Corp. (DKMC), one of the Top 75 Mortgage Companies in America, has announced the opening of a new Los Angeles-area branch in Calabasas, Calif.

The location was previously the branch of a local mortgage lender, and Draper and Kramer Mortgage Corp. is retaining the branch manager, top-producing loan originators and some support staff.

“This new branch is a big leap for us in the Los Angeles area,” said Paul Lueken, CEO of Draper and Kramer Mortgage Corp. “Bringing an entire new office on board with a veteran group of leadership, origination and support talent is absolutely ideal, and that’s what we’ve done here. We couldn’t be more pleased.”

DKMC’s Calabasas branch is managed by Daryl Wizelman, a 28-year veteran of the Los Angeles-area mortgage industry. Wizelman’s extensive credentials include 17 years of experience as the owner and president of his own mortgage company, past leadership positions with several lenders in the region and an established name as a speaker, author, consultant and motivator.

“My team and I are very excited to be making this move, and I’m eager to welcome other opportunity-seeking mortgage professionals to join us as part of Draper and Kramer Mortgage Corp.,” said Wizelman.

“One of my first actions with DKMC was to send out a recruiting letter to outside loan officers, and I’ve never had an easier time promoting a company. All I had to do was list the great loan products, aggressive rates, accessible leadership and other amazing resources we offer at DKMC.

"This is a fantastic development for local professionals in the mortgage industry, as well as consumers in the Los Angeles area.”

Three top-producing loan officers are also on the branch team: Randy Wagner, Moshe Niv and Curtis Abish. Together, the group originated over $100 million in loans in 2017. Additional staff include a sales coordinator and a loan processor.

The new branch is located at 23945 Calabasas Road, Suite 213, in Calabasas.

DKMC, an Illinois-based national mortgage lender, established its first presence in California with the May 2017 opening of its Sherman Oaks branch in Los Angeles. The company plans to expand throughout California, the West Coast and the Southwest, and has new or upcoming branch locations in Irvine, Calif.; Las Vegas; Scottsdale, Ariz.; and Portland, Ore.
