Hancock Whitney provides continued support for Junior Achievement programs in the Acadiana area of Louisiana. Our associates volunteer their time and resources to ensure students are prepared for the world beyond high school with the principles of work readiness, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy.
During National Homeownership Month in June, we highlighted some of our new mortgage associates and celebrate the unique backgrounds, perspectives and aspirations they represent that make homeownership dreams a reality for our clients. Luis Parada, a bi-lingual Loan Originator from New Orleans shares what he can bring to the homeownership process: “Finding the right home is only half the battle in the home buying process. Choosing the right mortgage type is also important. The stakes are high, as making a financially savvy choice can save the client thousands of dollars over the life of the loan. I take time to offer the knowledge of 20 years of experience, dedication and efficiency to my clients, as it is essential in helping them to better understand which mortgage may be most beneficial for their need.”
