Five Star blazes loan officer/Realtor path
Five Star Mortgage continues to see success throughout Gwinnett County and metro Atlanta offering the "At Your Service Realtors®" Mortgage Loan Officer Program.

Prior to starting the Realtor Mortgage Loan Officer Program, Five Star Mortgage was a basic mortgage loan company.

"The principles of the company had a vision, and this was a trend they wanted to embrace," Dunn said. "With the principles having more than 30 years background in real estate, they knew for a fact that this was the direction future Realtors would take."
