Great Florida Bank, Coral Gables, Fla., has announced an expansion of its residential lending division with the hiring of three new managing directors. The new directors are Chris Buttafuoco, Todd Roderiquez, and Ed Wilburn, all of whom were previously managing partners at Capital Mortgage LLC. Mr. Roderiquez was also that company's chief financial officer.
