Andrea Marzullo Lane CRS, ABR®, GRI, MRP, RCC, SFR®
During my time in the Marine Corps, I traveled across the world visiting countries such as Japan, Korea, Thailand, Australia, and Singapore.
I met my beautiful wife Sylvia while stationed in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, and we decided to relocate to Arizona in 2005. By God’s grace, after completing my tour of duty in war-torn Iraq, I moved to Phoenix with goals and aspirations of beginning a new career in the mortgage industry.
As I pursued my exciting new career, I quickly realized there was a major deficiency and lack of home loan services for veterans. There were no mortgage professionals who specialized in working alongside servicemen and women after they returned from the military: nobody who spoke their language nor understood their needs.
Without hesitation, I devoted myself to the Veteran home buyers and their families here in the Phoenix area. My mission was to serve all veterans and active-duty military as a trusted advisor for all their VA Home Loan financing needs. I have always had great love, respect, and admiration for veterans who have served the United States and I wanted to give back.
