Reno, NV (December 21, 2016) – SecurityNational Mortgage Company with over 23 years of service and more than $3 billion annually in closed loans, is pleased to announce the expansion of a new branch office in Reno, NV.

The Reno office will primarily service the mortgage lending needs of individuals and families in northern and northwestern Nevada, and are also licensed to serve Wyoming and southern California. SecurityNational Mortgage Company features an in-house processing and underwriting department to allow better customer service and quicker closed loans.

“Unlike banks and lenders that that have limited operations and service, SecurityNational Mortgage Company has the distinct advantage of being a direct mortgage lender—all loan processing is handled locally,” said Dana DeSarle, Branch Manager of the Reno, NV office.

Dana comes to Security National with years of mortgage and real estate experience. He will serve as the branch manager along with many other loan officers and support staff for this area. The team has extensive experience with Conventional, Jumbo, FHA, VA, Reverse, USDA and many other mortgage loan programs.

“It’s all about delivering more than what’s expected at Security National,” continued DeSarle. “Potential homebuyers can count on our team to deliver the best mortgage experience so loans close on time—without the hassle.”

Security National continues to grow and is looking for like-minded and talented individuals to join their award winning team. The company is interviewing experienced loan officers, branch managers, and support staff in locations across the nation.

Sloan Urry’s drive leads to tightest battle of the weekend at Mazda Laguna Seca Raceway

Scores five victories in 2016 and secures second in the Porsche GT Cup Championship

Salt Lake City, UT  (October 12, 2016) – Sloan Urry wrapped the 2016 Porsche GT Cup Championship with a phenomenal drive, narrowly missing the victory by just six-tenths of a second over Corey Fergus. It was a nose-to-tail battle as Urry challenged the Rookie every race lap. The race featured three caution periods for on-track incidents, a total of 10 laps. The final caution came in the closing laps, presenting a green-white-checker challenge at the end. Laguna Seca is a technical circuit featuring steep elevation changes and 11 tight turns which make it known as one of the most difficult courses for passing. Urry stayed tight on the tail of Fergus’s #00 Porsche 911 and masterfully set-up the pass each lap as they exited turn 11 onto the front straight, but Fergus’s powerful new Porsche engine was strong, and he was able to pull just enough gap onto the straight to prevent the overtake.

“I had a great battle with Corey every green lap and I am really happy for him getting his first win.” Urry continued, “It was close, I probably played it a little safe, but we brought the car home in good condition and we’ve locked up our championship position. It was a good race, and it’s always nice to bring home a podium for our team and partners.”

Urry’s consistency all season secured second in the GT Cup Championship last month at the penultimate round at Sonoma Raceway, but Sunday’s performance earned him an additional 98 points, bringing his season total to 1937, just 34 points behind the title winner Alec Udell, and 334 points ahead of third place finisher Corey Fergus. “Alec and Corey pushed me hard all season and we had a lot of great battles, every race was at qualifying pace” said Urry. He tallied five victories and seven pole positions and finished on the podium in 18 of 19 events in 2016.

“It was a good year. I think we have a lot to be proud of. The TruSpeed guys worked hard and always gave me a reliable car. I think I improved in traffic management and took care of the equipment and combined, that led to wins and podiums at every race but one. Ultimately, we didn’t win the Championship and I am disappointed in that, but I am thankful to my team, TruSpeed Autosport, Porsche, and my incredible partners SecurityNational Mortgage and AVASIS. I had the opportunity to meet and race in front of nearly 1000 guests from SecurityNational and AVASIS this year, and that was a real honor.”

Urry was awarded the trophy for his championship finish at the season ending banquet on Sunday.

Hundreds of SecurityNational Mortgage guests were on their feet in elation as Sloan Urry made the winning pass just in front of their suite on the front straightway Saturday on a sunny afternoon just outside of his home town in Utah.

Urry took the green flag from the third starting position Saturday afternoon and had an awesome start, quickly passing the race leader Alec Udell.  Despite two yellow-flag caution periods caused by messy accidents in the first 10 minutes of the race, Sloan gapped Udell and it looked like the win was inevitable.  Eventually, Udell managed to return the pass on Urry for the lead.  Determined and driven by his jubilant fans, Urry masterfully hunted down Udell lap after lap, and quickly tightened the gap.  With just ten minutes to go, Urry passed the bright blue Porsche of Udell, executing the game-plan perfectly, and scored his fifth victory of the season, and the first at his home track at the professional level in front of his ecstatic fans and supporters.

Urry started from the first row in today’s race two.  Utah rookie McKay Snow started third and got a jump on the field and quickly took the lead from the green flag, Sloan was third. However, the 4+ mile track now known as the Utah Motorsport Campus is famous for rapid tire wear, and fortunately Sloan is known for his ability to manage his Pirelli’s.  He settled into third position and managed his tire wear while Udell chased McKay.  Eventually McKay’s pace slowed and both Udell and Urry passed him for first and second.  Now the hunt was on and Urry had the pace and the tires to reel in Udell.  Once again Sloan’s supporters could be heard above the sounds of the supercars as he chased Udell down the front straight.  Each lap was faster than the last and most laps were faster than the leader, until his car hiccupped in the final set of turns before the front straight with just seven laps to go.  His day came to an end prematurely due to a fuel pump failure.  The car coasted to the gravel trap at the start of the front straight.  Frustrated by the failure but satisfied with his performance, Urry walked alongside the track and down the front straight back to his pit to the roaring cheer of his local supporters who celebrated him from the suite over the TruSpeed pit.

Sloan on Race One: “My smile says it all.  It’s been a while since I’ve been this happy! To win at home and to win after such an intense battle is just incredibly rewarding.  I had a good start and took the lead but Alec put a lot of pressure on me.  He was on my tail for a while.  Once he got me, there was absolutely no way I was going to let that stick.  I’ve got to thank the TruSpeed Autosport team.  They’ve kept digging and digging this year and they gave me a great car.  There was a huge contingency of my sponsors SecurityNational Mortgage and AVASIS along with friends and family hanging out of the suite on the front straight…that helped power me to the win for sure and I can’t thank them enough for the continued support they give me.”

Sloan on Race Two: “Race two here at Utah Motorsports Campus unfortunately did not go as well as race one.  Unfortunately, I fell back to third at the start of the race but moved up to second and was all over Alec (Udell) for quite a while…preparing for the pass.  Unfortunately, with 10 minutes or so to go we had a fuel pump failure and I had to pull the car off.  It was our first mechanical of the year, and it came at probably the worst time for us, but that’s the way it goes sometimes in racing.  We had fantastic race yesterday and another great battle with Alec today, so I am really pleased about that.  I’ve got to give a huge shout out to SecurityNational Mortgage and AVASIS.  The amount of support here has been amazing the whole weekend.  You can’t walk through the paddock without noticing us, that is a real honor.  Also my team TruSpeed worked super hard this weekend. We were trying a bunch of things in every session and I think we made a lot of progress this weekend.  Our race pace was by far the best of anybody, we just need to work a bit on qualifying.  I am looking forward to Sonoma.”
