W.R. Starkey Mortgage
From being the “new guys on the
block” a mere six years ago, W.R. Starkey
Mortgage has grown to #3 in the San
Antonio market in 2007, according to the
San Antonio Business Journal in its annual
“Book of Lists”, with five of its 17 loan officers
being cited as top producers city-wide.
Big strides in such a short period of time.
Chalk it up to the energy and drive of Adrian
Trevino, VP and Branch Manager of the San
Antonio operation, and his dedicated staff of
35.
The local office is an arm of W.R.
Starkey Mortgage based in Plano, TX and
one of 13 offices in 7 states.
Through the use of advanced pointof-sale
origination technology, the company
is able to provide the finest of professional
services in an expedient manner. “Our business
has continuously grown over the several
last years – to such an extent that we have
become one of the leading, residential mortgage
banker/lenders in San Antonio and the
surrounding area, increasing our business
over 25% year after year” says Trevino. The
company’s key to success? Providing the
finest mortgage products and service available,
and establishing the firm as a local
lender that gives the best that the market has
to offer…even in an ever-changing industry.
“We realize that people are busy and
their time is valuable,” continues Trevino,
“so being a mortgage banker that processes,
underwrites, closes and funds their loans
under our roof, right here at our 12500 San
Pedro location is a huge asset, when it comes
to attracting and generating new business”.
In addition to servicing numerous real
estate firms and builders in the San Antonio
area, W.R. Starkey Mortgage has earned the
distinction of being the in-house lender for
the city’s #1 real estate company, Keller
Williams, for the past three years…a fact of
which that Trevino is very proud. “We are a
preferred lender to several major companies,
and our financial representatives stress our
one-to-one relationships with our clients.
They have a sense of work ethic that mandates
we get the job done right, the first time.
As a result, our firm’s 2007 production and
resale dollars totaled approximately $149
million”.
Trevino says “we build our business
on compassionate and caring service, state-of
the art technology and the best available
products. Our staff is literally available to our

clients 24/7, and each of our loan
officers has an individual website
that gives their customers
access to their information at all
times”. Their dedication is further
evidenced by taking the
time to close a loan for a client in
one day, on New Years’ Eve.
Had they not been able to
accomplish that feat, the family
had no place to live.
Furthermore, he adds “the
builder was able to meet their
budget for the month and pay out
a very important end-of-year
bonus to their staff – which is
very important in our current
economy.”
Trevino says fluctuations
in today’s housing industry have
not factored in how the company
does business. “We have always
positioned ourselves to be a financially sound
company prepared for the very challenges
that plague most lenders today, and our production
continues to grow as we maintain our
business with great partners and focus on
purchasing mortgage loans to better serve our
diverse clientele – from real estate agents and
builders to individual customers alike”.
“We have a multitude of mortgage
loan products that can satisfy most of our
borrowers’ needs while also being very competitive
in rates and fees. Most importantly,
our reputation for being a quality organization
in our local market has helped us to sustain
our business growth. I truly believe we
have the best team in the business - from our
loan officers to our processors, staff, under-

writer and closers. We would never be successful
without putting together this dynamic
group of individuals that continues to achieve
many goals and help support our growth.”
Beyond the company’s day-to-day
business aspects, W.R. Starkey is big on community
involvement, participating in the
“Buddy Walk”, benefiting children with special
needs, KW Cares, the American Cancer
Society and many other charities that they are
beneficiaries of their value time and financial
resources. “We realize the importance of service
to those who are in unfortunate circumstances,
and are happy to be of service and
give back to the community which has been
so generous to us.”
