The "All American"
That's how millions of UFC fans know Brian Stann. The former Marine and world-class athlete is one of the brightest stars in mixed martial arts.
But it wasn't his fame as a fighter that caught the attention of the largest dedicated VA lender in the nation. It was his passion for helping soldiers and veterans.
Brian and his team at Hire Heroes USA have helped thousands of active duty service members successfully transition into the civilian workforce. His nonprofit organization gives them the tools and the confidence they need to thrive after proudly serving our country.
For Brian, serving those heroes has become his life's mission.
"I'm passionate about helping soldiers and veterans make smart financial decisions," Brian said. "Building wealth through homeownership is part of the American dream. Who deserves that more than our nation's heroes? Working with VA Mortgage Center.com is a perfect partnership for me."
As the official spokesman of VA Mortgage Center.com, Brian urges other veterans to take advantage of the benefits earned by their service.
"A VA loan is a hard-earned benefit that helps veterans and their families get a step closer to the American dream and the goal of homeownership," Brian said. "The team at VA Mortgage Center.com is there to make sure you realize that dream and get the home you deserve."
Brian knows firsthand the power of the VA loan - and of VAMC's passion for serving veterans.
Stann recently refinanced his mortgage with VA Mortgage Center.com and saw his interest rate fall from 6 percent to 4.2 percent, dropping his monthly payment a whopping $450.
"I couldn't believe how simple the process was and how much VAMC was able to save us," Brian said. "I was proud to take advantage of my VA benefits and I urge other veterans to do the same."
Brian's dedication, service and passion for helping others makes him an ideal fit for VA Mortgage Center.com, a company focused on enhancing lives every day, said CEO Nathan Long.
