Robert Ray Joins Peak Finance Company as Chief Operating Officer

Peak Finance Company announced the hiring of its new Lear Financial Inc Chief Operating Officer, Robert Ray. Ray will be responsible for guiding and managing all aspects of the company which include: expanding its sales force, adding new technology, and coordinating with its affiliate companies. Founding partners Gil Priel and Eli Tene are confident that Ray will be a crucial factor in propelling Peak Finance to further success.

"We are pleased to have Robert join our firm. With his capabilities and energy, Peak Finance will step to the next level and will continue to deliver efficient quality service to our clients," Tene said. Priel agreed: "Robert brings solid expertise and a wealth of experience to our company that will truly benefit us as we further expand our services into the marketplace."

Ray comes to Peak Finance from Pacifica Mortgage in Encino, California, where he served as Senior Vice President over sales and operations and was responsible for overhauling and revamping the company's operations system.

With twenty-three years of experience in the mortgage industry, Ray has gained solid experience, diverse contacts and extensive knowledge making him an invaluable member of the Peak Finance team. He began his career at Western Federal Savings and Loan Wholesale in Woodland Hills, CA, where he stayed for eleven years. As the company's Senior Vice President of Wholesale Lending, Ray was responsible for statewide lending operations for Western Federal's number one region and office, which successfully produced between 50-55 million dollars of production per month for five consecutive years.

Ray's solid record of success attracted him to Peak's innovative style of linking affiliate companies under one corporate network. "The current market trends of a sub-prime market meltdown, tightening credit for Alt A and A lenders offers an opportunity for the well-positioned and capitalized company. The corporate network of companies that Peak Financial Partners has created, offers key options that this marketplace needs," Ray explains.

Another aspect that drew Ray to Peak was the company's own record of success and what it stands for. "The name implies that one is climbing up the peak and going to the next level," he says. Climbing to the "next level" is what Ray intends on helping Peak to achieve. "My goals are to grow a satisfied customer base, implement effective systems, develop an A+ Team and build on the successes that Peak has already accomplished," says Ray.

Ray also has an extensive background in personal development and has provided personal and business development strategies to his various staffs and clients. As a result of these cultivated success traits, Ray had the expertise to build thriving teams at Western Federal, Oakmont Mortgage, First Advantage Mortgage, Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, Pacifica Direct Mortgage Bankers, and a sales training company that he founded.

Peak Finance Company offers both residential and commercial mortgages for the A through sub-prime borrower. Long-term investor relationships and private money resources allow Peak Finance Company to offer one of the widest arrays of products in the industry.
