About Sam
About Sam Batayneh. Mortgages since 2004.
Sam Batayneh is a VP of Mortgage Lending at OriginPoint. Sam has originated mortgages since 2004, specializes in jumbo loans, and lends in all of California, based in Los Angeles / Beverly Hills.
The short version
Economics, geography and home loans.
Sam began originating mortgages in 2004, right after earning a Bachelor of Science in Regional Development from the University of Arizona.
Sam says the work is a good fit because it sits where two interests meet: economics and geography. Every loan is a bit of both, since what you can borrow depends on the numbers and on where the home is.
What keeps Sam in it is simple: helping people reach their goals. Sam’s focus is jumbo loans, the larger loans where every lender’s rules are different and experience counts.
Sam also does the straightforward loans, including FHA, VA and conforming loans, for every kind of home buyer.
The year Sam began originating mortgages and the degree are as given in the bio on Sam’s OriginPoint page.
