Said Embrace President Kurt Noyce, "We're delighted with Inc.'s recognition of our growth and history of creating good jobs...we're, though, even more excited with the addition of Dan and the team he is assembling. Charlottesville is the perfect location between our offices in Greater DC and those in the Salem/Lynchburg markets of Southern Virginia. We have been eager to serve that market and with Dan, we now have the ideal leader." This new branch, located on Remson Court in Charlottesville, will focus on purchase sales specializing in realtor, builder and other referral business. Dan MacDougall will serve as Branch Manager of this Charlottesville location. MacDougall has been in the mortgage industry for 18 years serving in various capacities. Prior to joining Embrace, he held the Production Branch Manager position with PrimeLending. He developed a program offering a mortgage discount for the Teachers of Albemarle County.
