Embrace Home Loans Welcomes Donny Panasis as Branch Manager in Viera, Florida

Embrace Home Loans Welcomes New Leadership in Viera

Embrace Home Loans has recently appointed Donny Panasis as the manager of its new branch located in Viera, Florida. Panasis, a seasoned professional in the mortgage industry with nearly a decade of experience, will spearhead efforts to enhance the local team and develop relationships within the community.

With his background as a loan originator at The Mortgage Firm and TD Bank, Panasis brings valuable expertise in mortgage lending. His primary responsibility at Embrace will be to facilitate loans for both existing homes and new constructions, a role he is eager to undertake as he helps more Floridians achieve their homeownership dreams.

"I was drawn to Embrace because of its culture," said Panasis. "The company operates more like a family, with a shared goal of elevating client experience and outperforming competitors in the industry."

Under Panasis's leadership, the branch plans to grow its workforce by recruiting more loan officers and building vital partnerships with local real estate agents, homebuilders, and financial advisors. By leveraging Embrace Home Loans' advanced technology and unique products, he aims to improve service levels and streamline processes for clients.

Among the company’s standout offerings are the Approved to Move and Approved to Close programs. The former provides potential homeowners with a fully underwritten approval, ensuring a smoother closing process, while the latter secures sellers by guaranteeing that deals will close—potentially offering $10,000 if they fail. Additionally, the Property Value Certificate allows buyers to waive appraisal contingencies, giving both buyers and sellers added confidence in their transactions.

"Our combination of innovative technology, competitive rates, and a supportive culture uniquely positions us to meet the diverse needs of our clients," explained Panasis.

Paralleling his professional pursuits, Panasis is an active participant in the Space Coast community. He is affiliated with the Space Coast Association of REALTORS® and the Home Builders Contractors Association, and serves on the board of 321Millennials—a philanthropic organization focused on community service.

Viera, one of the most rapidly growing planned communities in Florida, has become increasingly attractive due to its proximity to Orlando and ongoing development, making it a prime target for new homebuyers. The region's appeal is evident, boasting beautiful landscapes, golf cart-friendly streets, and a flourishing job market, particularly in the Space Coast area.

As Embrace Home Loans looks to expand its footprint in this vibrant market, Panasis's commitment to exceptional service and community integration are expected to play a significant role in the branch’s growth.
