PORTSMOUTH, NEW HAMPSHIRE — Movement Mortgage, a national top 10 retail mortgage lender, is pleased to announce that mortgage powerhouse Brenda Hoefle joins the Movement team as a Branch Leader. Based out of the coastal city of Portsmouth, she will be leading the charge in growing Movement's expansion into New Hampshire's Seacoast region and the surrounding areas in Maine and Massachusetts.

Hoefle (NMLS #1065535) has been in the real estate and home financing industry for 20 years. Her previous roles included mortgage loan officer positions at St. Mary's Bank, Optima Bank & Trust, and the New Hampshire Federal Credit Union. Before entering the mortgage business, Hoefle was a realtor in New Hampshire's Lakes Region. Prior to discovering her passion for the mortgage industry, Hoefle had a 15-year career in material management at Sara Lee, Exel Marketing, and Bombardier Ski-Doo.

"After working for Sara Lee, I went and received my real estate license," said Hoefle. "Then, after almost six years as a realtor in my home state, I transitioned into mortgages and I haven't looked back since. My goal is to build an honest rapport within the community, connect with the people who live here — or are looking to move here — and lend a hand when they need home financing solutions."

“With lending and real estate experience spanning over two decades, Brenda is uniquely qualified to not just help her clients and realtors,” said Jeffrey Wilkish, Movement's Greater Boston Market Leader (NMLS #48034) . “She'll also help further Movement's growth in the New Hampshire Seacoast and coastal areas in southern Maine and northeastern Massachusetts.”

Raised in Rye, NH, and educated at Southern New Hampshire University, Hoefle keeps it local after work hours with yoga, hiking, cooking, wine tasting, and — when not at the beach — traveling. And she's looking for loan officers in the area to join her small team.
