MEET THE TEAM

Scott Boutin, Area Manager; Homes for Hero’s Lending Expert [NLMS- 2361762]

I am a native Floridian and have lived in Sanford since 1992. I was originally licensed as a mortgage loan officer in 2005. I then obtained my insurance license in 2010. I am currently working at Lend Florida as a mortgage loan officer with one goal for everyone that I talk to, find a solution for every financial situation. Being a Homes for Heroes affiliate, I focus on helping our first responders and frontline workers save money with discounted lending fees and real estate costs when they buy, sell, or refinance a home.

Jamie Malloy, Loan and Office Assistant [NLMS- 173195]

I am the office and loan assistant. I am a senior at Seminole High School and a member of the National Honor Society. I plan to study nursing at FAU in Boca Raton, Florida. My hobbies include music, concerts, and hanging out with my friends.

Michael Collier, Chief Marketing Officer

I am an EXP ICON agent, and my 12-year career with Disney allowed me to see the business world differently. I begin by asking my clients better questions such as, how can a company consistently generate high affinity the way Disney does? The answer is in high-level communications, building a strong community, and consistency. These ideals are what propel everything from my social media presence to my client and agent communication.

Paul Benfield, Mortgage Loan Officer/ Area Manager [NLMS- 2004125]

I am a second-generation Floridian, and I am the owner/broker of Design or List It. I am also a mortgage loan officer with Lend Florida. Design or List It is a full-service real estate, interior design, and home-staging company located in the city limits of Seminole and Volusia County.

Design or List It came about as our clientele in the interior design sector began to transcend to the next phase of their life. Whether it be investing in their home with renovations or preparing to sell, this longevity and confidence comes from raising my beautiful family and enjoying all Central Florida has to offer. In my off time, I serve our community via VFW Post 8093 2022 as the auxiliary president and trustee of local civic organizations.

Sanford’s premier mortgage and real estate team have partnered to bring home buyers unprecedented value. Savvy buyers are looking to find the most bang for their buck in today’s current market. President Matt Malloy of Lend Florida and Broker Paul Benfield of Design or List It are answering the call by providing paid closing costs of up to $5000.00 when you package their lending and realtor service together. You can reach Paul Benfield at 407-242-3933.

Letter From The Editor

Dear readers and friends,

Last year we successfully celebrated our 8th anniversary and in the interest of continuing to grow, My Sanford Magazine is being revitalized and expanding to include other cities in Seminole County.

Our statistics and audience research reveal that we have a large readership in Seminole County, and we want them to be a part of our brand.

Our interest is not to compete but to collaborate with options and better opportunities for our communities. For this reason, on behalf of my staff, I want to welcome each one of you, and I invite you to contact me directly to be part of our community magazine.

I wish you a beautiful spring and stay tuned because there is much more to come.

Love,

Table
