Origin Bank Opens Full Service Mortgage Office, Hires Jerry Kolich as Production Manager

Kansas City, KS – Origin Bank has announced they have opened Origin Bank Home Lending, a mortgage origination center at 11460 Tomahawk Creek Parkway, Suite 320 in Leawood. The full-service facility will be staffed to take mortgage loans through the entire process from origination and processing to underwriting and closing.

To run the bank’s Kansas mortgage operation, Origin has hired Jerry Kolich as senior vice president and regional production manager. Kolich has been in the banking industry for 13 years, specializing in building and managing mortgage production teams. In his previous position as director of mortgage banking for another institution, he hired a mortgage team who raised annual production from $12 million to over $150 million in just four years.

“We are very pleased to have Jerry Kolich join the Origin team,” said James Hinton, executive vice president of the bank’s Texas mortgage group. “He has extensive knowledge of the mortgage industry and a proven record of success. Jerry will make a great impact on our success as our organization continues to grow.”

Kolich says that his team consists of individuals who have worked together for years, and that their priority is keeping loans local and meeting client needs.

“The majority of our business is retail purchase transaction,” Kolich said of the new facility. “We work with a number of realtors in Kansas City who prefer to have their loans stay local. With Origin Mortgage, not only do the loans stay local, but we are able to handle the entire loan process under one roof.”

Kolich is a member of the Knights of Columbus through Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish in Shawnee, KS. He is married to Dana Kolich and they have four children. Kolich spends much of his free time coaching his children’s athletic teams.
