"As the construction loan officer with our PSB&T loan team, Mahoney will work with customers to provide specific loan services. Whether it be new construction or remodeling, plan review, budget assessment and borrower and project qualifications all fall within that officer's purview, stated Tony Perry, President and CEO of Park State Bank & Trust.

"Mahoney's responsibilities will first start with the initial contact with an interested customer. It is imperative that the bank understand specifically what the customer wants to accomplish. The next number of steps will involve everything from a standard loan application, gathering pertinent financial information and on to the plans and specifications including appraisals if necessary," explained Perry.

"The total of the information concerning the customer and the project is combined to deliver a profile that will determine if the construction proposed meets the banking guidelines for an acceptable risk to the bank and the customer," said Mahoney. "My goal as the new Construction Loan Officer is to provide customers with a loan for a construction project at a competitive rate. PSB&T offers the flexibility of our "one-step" type of loan that has a seamless transition from the construction loan to an initial mortgage with appealing rates."

"Some projects may require a site or building assessment. We are happy to function in a limited role in this context. Loan and funding oversight is a critical role we do fulfill. Working with the general contractors in processing the funding requests and performing regularly scheduled onsite inspections provide safeguards for our borrowers," continued Mahoney.

"PSB&T is a community bank, we are locally owned and staffed. We are invested in and focused on Woodland Park, Teller and Park counties primarily. I personally believe a bank can be a tremendous force for good in a community. Having been here for over 50 years and having the majority stockholder a member of the founding family, in my opinion gives PSB&T the place in our community as the proven "neighbor" who works for the success of each of our customers. My wife and I chose to live and raise our family here. I will respect and honor that same decision by those who would come the bank for what products and services we provide. I will use all the bank's resources, especially our "loan team" to do our part ensuring the success of our customers' construction projects," concluded Mahoney.

Insurance agency that has served Colorado for 60 years now inside Woodland Park’s top community bank; Anita Riggle helps customers make well-informed decisions about insurance plans in Woodland Park, CO.

Woodland Park, CO -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/29/2015 -- Park State Bank & Trust today announced Anita Riggle, Farm Bureau Insurance, now has an office in the bank.

"Our customers asked for on-site services in insurance and claims," according to Tony Perry, President and CEO of Park State Bank & Trust. "To better meet this growing demand, we selected an agency that has gone from humble beginnings to one of our nation's most respected companies."

Anita Riggle is the local agent - one who is committed to helping individuals, families and business owners achieve their insurance goals.

Farm Bureau Insurance's role is to help customers make well-informed decisions about home, auto, life and farm. "I am dedicated to helping people reach their insurance goals," said Riggle. "I am here to educate them. Not to sell them," she said.

Riggle provides the following representative services and products to customers:

- Auto Insurance
- Property Insurance
- Life Insurance
- Farm & Ranch Insurance
- Commercial or Business Owner Insurance
- Health and Other Services

"As an experienced agent, I am in a position to be objective and give unbiased advice," Riggle said. "I see everyone who walks into the office as a person, not a policy," she said.

Working from an office she is renting inside the bank, she provides services available to the entire community, not just current bank customers.

Visitors will find insurance planning services to include: Life (Term and Permanent); Condo/Townhome, Manufactured Homes; and Excess Liability, among other pertinent policies.

Riggle can also assist with financial planning. "As an agent I do have access to estate planners and can certainly help clients set up meetings with estate planners," she said. "Sometimes it is good to have your insurance agent with you because of the knowledge we have about your property and assets."
 
Riggle emphasizes the importance of having an ongoing personal relationship with customers. "We believe you need to be valued and treated right," she said.

Riggle feels strongly about being located inside the bank. "It's a privilege to be able to work alongside an institution that continues to build community – a one stop shop location for key quality of life services," she said.

Riggle is driven by the difficulties associated with insurance choices for individuals and businesses. "It is not easy to understand the terminology and choices when it comes to shopping for insurance," she said. "I get really excited when I can help navigate and chart a course."

She says she really likes to meet with people. "One on one with customers is important," she said. "In a confidential environment we can go over key factors when it comes to making decisions and really come up with the best insurance coverage. Besides, they get to know me, and I get to know them. A great benefit going forward."

She also believes that there exists a low perception of life insurance. "Life insurance helps maintain the standard of living for your family," she said. "It is great coverage to have because even in a death, the bills still keep coming. I would love to personally deliver a check to help ease the pain of a loss."

About Anita Riggle
Riggle has a BBA, Marketing from Georgia Southwestern University, Americus, GA

She has been the owner of a retail business, home based consultant, and worked as a marketing consultant for a local newspaper, among other work experiences. She has two children – 19 yr old son and a 16 yr old daughter. She moved here two years ago from Southwest GA. She loves hiking, kayaking and photo preservation

Woodland Park’s community bank has a new team member, Dave Paul, showcasing a growing list of expanding staff and services to meet growing customer needs.

Woodland Park, CO -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/28/2014 -- Park State Bank & Trust today announced Dave Paul has joined the bank's team as a mortgage loan officer (NMLS 194398).

"We have a good mortgage program. We listen to customers who have asked for additional mortgage options," according to Tony Perry, President and CEO of Park State Bank & Trust. "To better serve our customers, we chose to bring Dave, who has a strong and exemplary mortgage background, on to our team."

"I am excited to have the opportunity to again be associated with Park State Bank & Trust, our community's most respected bank," Paul said.

When Paul started writing mortgages in Teller County back in 1999, it was in the old Park State building. "We grew together and over the years, even after we moved to other locations, we continued to work together on a referral basis," Paul said. "So formalizing those relationships was a logical progression."

Paul believes that his educational and relationship-based approach to home financing is what separates him from competitors. "I work with clients to determine their goals and customize financing options that offer them the best mechanism to achieve success, while providing in-depth information to insure that they fully understand the process," he said.

Paul's loan assistant, Jeannine Kuntz will be working with him as well. "We will now offer all of the available conventional and government-backed products including conforming, VA, FHA, USDA and jumbo, as well as reverse mortgages," he said.

Paul said he will also be able to identify qualified clients who may fall outside the conventional lending parameters and provide direct mortgage financing through the bank. "Once our mortgages are finalized, regardless of who may be servicing them, we encourage our clients to bring any issues they may have to us, and we can help them navigate through them to a satisfactory solution," he said.

Paul is committed to providing exceptional service and is committed to the community. His clients agree. Below are just some of the comments from customers excited to see him join the Park State Bank & Trust team.

"Dave Paul shopped for the best rate for my mortgage and got it. Dave was professional, on-time and I received great service. I would highly recommend Dave for all your mortgage needs." -- Jim Ignatius, Woodland Park

"Dave did a great job getting us our reverse mortgage. He made sure we were updated regularly and got our closing completed, even while we were travelling around the country relying mostly on email and faxes. The process was complicated, but he worked through it and delivered exactly what we needed. We are ecstatic with the results!" --?Bob and Mary Beth Williams, Woodland Park?

"We found a log home with some acreage over near Victor. There were several major challenges trying to sell our place and buy the new place and make the transition happen so we wouldn't be without a place to live. We went to Dave Paul because we knew if anybody could do it, he could. He was a huge help to us and always had a positive attitude and a great sense of humor that put us at ease when we were stressing out. He was able to get us a great rate and knew the best options for us. He made what seemed to be 'the impossible'…possible." -- Larry and Tami Schirack, Victor Colorado
