The residential lending team of Marine Bank & Trust hosted an informative breakfast seminar for local realtors at the Quail Valley Club on March 14th.   The presentation, “The Luxury Home Market and the Trump Administration’s Impact on the Residential Market” was delivered by Gary B. Smith of Fox Business News.

“Marine Bank and our residential lending team are proud that we had the opportunity to deliver such a relevant message to our community’s dedicated realtors,” said Bill Penney, president and CEO of Marine Bank & Trust. “As our community continues to grow and build, Marine Bank will continue to be a resource.  I want to commend residential lenders Mary Cone and Jim Stanley for coordinating this event and adhering to our commitment to be Vero’s leading mortgage lender.”

To show the bank’s appreciation to Mr. Smith, a donation was made to his charity of choice, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
