Nasserfar joins Movement with 17 years of mortgage industry experience and as a production leader in Austin.

In his new role, Nasserfar will join Austin Market Leader Bobby Shull to lead customer service, production, recruiting and community engagement in fast-growing Austin and its surrounding communities. He will report to Regional Director Chris Blevins.

"I wrote a personal-professional mission statement and kept it for years while at other companies, hoping to make them into what I knew I wanted," Nasserfar says. "The items included growing with a company that matched my beliefs, working in a company with a strong growth mindset, and a company wanting to be a leader in our industry. I found all these to be true at Movement and so much more."
