Gallo
Mortgage broker, team leader, and Vice President at West Capital Lending. I build teams that help people buy and keep their homes.
A little about me
I've built my career in mortgage lending, growing from running a branch to leading a team of 45 loan officers and support staff.
Today I focus on growing teams, mentoring loan officers, and making sure every client gets clear answers and a smooth path to closing. I'm also proud to serve on United Wholesale Mortgage's Advisory Council, where brokers give direct feedback on the tools and products we use every day.
