  • Tuesday, March 6, 2018

Laurice Tatum, president and chief executive officer of First National Community Bank, announced Tuesday that long-time mortgage lender Starla Trainor, who left the Chattanooga market for a short time, has returned and joined First National Community Bank’s Loan Production Office, 6031 Shallowford Road, Suite 107, in Chattanooga.

Ms. Trainor, who earned her associates degree in business from Southern New Hampshire University, has been a mortgage loan mainstay in Chattanooga, having worked in the market since 2012. Most recently, she was affiliated with Northpoint Mortgage but has also served as a mortgage originator in Chattanooga and in Florida.

Among the mortgage loan options First National Community Bank offers are:
• Conventional Long-Term Mortgages
• Adjustable Rate Mortgages
• Interest-Only Mortgages
• First Time Homebuyers Program
• 100% Financing Programs
• FHA, VA, Bridge Loans and loan pre-qualification

Ralph Smith, Chattanooga Market president, was quick to welcome Ms. Trainor to the bank’s LPO. “For many years, First National Community Bank has offered mortgage loans through our Dalton, Georgia office,” he said. “Now, we have an experienced and known lender here in Chattanooga, and a full array of loan options for our customers. I am confident that Starla will continue to welcome customers old and new for their mortgage loan needs, and that her responsiveness, experience and service will be exceptional.”
