First Community Mortgage (FCM) has named three Atlanta-based mortgage pros to its growing team. 

Mortgage veterans Brook Benton, Jason Copeland and Jake McPherson – who were previously with CenterState Bank’s mortgage unit – join FCM as Assistant Vice Presidents. 

“Brook, Jason and Jake are all highly experienced pros and experienced relationship stewards,” says Dan Smith, President of First Community Mortgage. “They combine those skills with really strong execution, which is why their business is always growing through happy repeat customers and referrals. These top producers have worked with other members of our team before, so we know their impeccable work well and are proud to add them to our expanding organization.”

Prior to his six years at CenterState – which had absorbed the former PrivatePlus Mortgage, Benton was a founding partner and Loan Officer with BrightPath Mortgage. He brings nearly 20 years of experience to FCM, focusing on purchase, refi, conventional mortgages, VA loans, FHA lending and jumbo loans.  

Before joining CenterState, Copeland was a Senior Loan Originator with BrightPath Mortgage. In addition to extensive refinance experience, he specializes in purchase transactions such as FHA, conventional and VA, as well as refinancing, and has a bachelor’s degree for which he focused on real estate.

McPherson spent four years with CenterState, first as a full-cycle recruiter, then overseeing an internal origination team and later as an originator. He previously was a National Director with a tech management services company.
