About Doug
My name is Doug Silverman and I am a Senior Mortgage Consultant
with New Penn Financial. I counsel individuals and families in all
facets of mortgage lending. This includes refinancing to a
lower rate or payment, getting cash to pay-off debts, purchasing a
new home or paying off the home quickly. I am passionate about
helping my customers achieve their goals and dreams. I have
been in the real estate finance business now for about 9 years. My
experience, customer service and knowledge allow me to create
win-win scenarios for my customers. I look forward to earning your
trust and your business.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from York College of
Pennsylvania.
I started my professional career with Centex Home Equity, a
leading sub-prime lender, back in 2002 as a relationship manager. I
have also been a commercial mortgage consultant for Interbay
Funding before starting my own mortgage company, The Grindstone
Group, LLC, in 2008. Each of these opportunities allowed me to help
homeowners, business owners and investors obtain the real estate
financing they needed.
When I am not helping my clients, I enjoy spending time with my
wife, daughter and newborn son.

"I just refinanced my house with New Penn Financial
and the entire process could not have been easier. My loan officer,
Doug Silverman, was prompt, attentive, and very thorough. He just
seemed like a regular guy, not someone trying to pressure or sell
me anything. I appreciate the great service and I would highly
recommend using Doug and New Penn to all of my friends and
family" - Jason B.

objectives." - J. P.
"Doug, we appreciate your hard
work and efforts through this process. I know I was a "little"

and we are confident we made the right choice." - T.

through anything but a major bank was a bit frightening at first.

the process easy and took any worries away. Job well done."

to thank you for making the re-financing process so easy and quick
for us. You exceeded our expectations by staying on top of the

New Penn to several colleagues who are looking for mortgages, and
will do so in the future as well. Thanks again." -

professionalism throughout the entire process." -

"Doug, it was really a pleasure working with you throughout
this arduous process. We had contacted several others regarding
refinancing, but you were the most responsive and proactive. And
once the process began you were always there for us... to answer
our questions, to explain in terms we could understand what was
happening and what each of the many documents was for, to suggest
and discuss alternative approaches, etc. We believe you made the
entire process as easy as it possibly could be, and we had complete
trust in you. Thank you again for everything. We will not hesitate
to recommend you to friends or family who are considering
refinancing." - Bill and Peggy Z.

Delores and Robert W.
"Only because the New Penn Financial consultant, Doug, was
diligent and determined, did we refinance our home mortgage. After
responding to an email offer, we were annoyed by all the come-on's,
phone calls and overly-zealous lenders that inundated us. Our
communications with Doug, however, were clear and concise - no hard
sell, no pressure - just a comprehensible, streamlined process that
will end up saving us thousands of dollars. We were very happy with
the outcome." - Robert and Rhonda W.
