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. The expansion of Great Florida's residential lending will also bring the addition of new programs to the bank's product lineup, including fixed- and adjustable-rate first-lien conforming loans, Federal Housing Administration loans, and other loans designed for low- and moderate-income borrowers, the bank said. The bank can be found on the Web at http://www.greatfloridabank.com.
