About Bob
Bob Hetzel hails from the Maryland side of the Washington DC Beltway. He graduated from the Tacoma Park Campus of Montgomery College in 1976 (where he played for the varsity tennis team that made it to the state finals 1973).
A career in retail management brought Bob to Nashville, TN, in 1984, where he eventually became interested in residential mortgage lending, and went to work for Capital Mortgage in 1986. Bob has been involved in mortgage lending in Middle Tennessee ever since. He has worked with large national lenders, as well as small banks and local brokers. Bob received an award for top retail production nationwide while with Barclays American Mortgage in 1995.
Bob is well versed in all of the most popular mainstream mortgage loan products, including those offered by FHA, VA, USDA, THDA, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac. He prides himself on not only being able to offer his customers the best application of the best products available anywhere - but also the very best in customer service as well.
To that end Bob has recently joined forces with one of the nation’s fastest growing, and most innovative mortgage lenders – loanDepot. Since its inception in 2010, loanDepot has not only evolved to become one of the nation’s leading lenders, they have also taken the world of “bricks and mortar” lending by storm, with over 150 state-of-the-art retail branch locations nationwide - including a strong presence in Middle Tennessee.
If you, or someone that you know, might like to discover just how fast, efficient, and satisfying a modern mortgage transaction can really be - please give Bob a call today. Find out why so many Middle Tennesseans have put their trust in Bob through the years to handle their mortgage lending needs, and why Bob is so excited to be a part of the high-tech, and high-touch mortgage lending team at loanDepot.
When Bob is not busy with mortgage financing, he enjoys spending time with his three sons (two of whom now have young families of their own). Bob also enjoys racquet sports, spending time at the “Y,” visiting parks and museums, and music. He also devotes time such causes as Hands On Nashville, The United Way, and the Room at the Inn in downtown Nashville.
