Maui resident Robin Wagstaff has been hired as retail sales area manager to direct retail activity for W.J. Bradley Mortgage Capital LLC’s first branch location in Hawaiʻi.
Wagstaff will support the privately-held mortgage banking firm’s retail expansion in the market.
Wagstaff carries a strong background in private mortgage banking, with nearly 10 years in the lending industry. He has served as a vice president lending officer with Bank of America.
Wagstaff is currently the leading lender for the 700-unit Honua Kai Resort & Spa in Kā‘anapali and the preferred lender for the Wailea Beach Villas and Ho‘olei Townhomes in Wailea Resort. His work there has been nationally recognized.
Most recently, Wagstaff became the leading lender for the Ritz Carlton Residences in Kapalua and one of the preferred lenders for Kukui‘ula on Kaua‘i.
“With Hawai‘i’s continuing growth and increasing home values, we’ve had our eye on this market for awhile now,” said Howard Michalski, executive managing director for W.J. Bradley. “Consumers in the area demand a broad selection of home financing options, and offering a competitive price is critical to meeting the needs of the area. Having such an extensive lending background and being native to the area, we are confident that with Robin in this seat, borrowers in Hawai‘i will be well served and W.J. Bradley will be strongly represented in the market.”
“Being intimately experienced in what our community requires, I’m excited about this transition and the opportunity to extend an expanded level of lending service to my clients and partners,” said Wagstaff. “They can expect not only a larger selection of home loan options, but also, quicker response rates and an expedited closing process.”
The Maui-grown businessman and Seabury Hall alumnus graduated from Colorado State University with a Bachelor of Science in Business and Applied Human Science.
He has been regionally and nationally recognized as one of the top-producing bankers in the US.
Wagstaff has also been recognized by Pacific Business News in its “People Who Make Hawai‘i Work” and its “Top Forty Under 40” lists.
