Gulf Mortgage Group, LLC was founded in 2002 by Managing Partners Todd Villar and David Brian with a shared vision to create a mortgage brokerage that prioritizes expertise, personalized service, and a seamless loan experience for every client.
A native of Ascension Parish, Todd Villar spent 19 years in various management roles in the financial services industry, working with Great Western, Ford Motor Credit, and First Union Home Equity Bank (now Wells Fargo). David Brian began his real estate career selling homes with CJ Brown Realtors (now Latter & Blum/Compass) while attending Southeastern Louisiana University before moving into wholesale mortgage operations at First Union Home Equity Bank where he spent eight years managing lending processes.
With their combined knowledge of retail and wholesale lending, Todd and David saw an opportunity to offer a better, more client-focused mortgage experience, leading them to start Gulf Mortgage Group, LLC in 2002. Katelyn Gwin began her mortgage career in 2016 as a loan processor, working behind the scenes where she developed an in-depth understanding of the loan process from start to finish. She has since transitioned into a Loan Originator and Managing Partner alongside David and Todd, using her attention to detail and knowledge of the entire lending experience to help clients navigate the mortgage process with confidence.
For over 23 years, Gulf Mortgage Group has helped thousands of clients purchase homes and refinance their mortgages. We are committed to exceptional service, attention to detail, and personalized mortgage solutions. Our goal is to carefully guide you through the loan process and find the best mortgage product for your individual needs. We understand that buying a home or refinancing can feel overwhelming, which is why we always strive to make the process simpler, faster, and stress-free. With our expertise, personalized approach, and commitment to excellence, we aim to be your trusted mortgage broker for life!
