About

Richard’s excitement and drive to open CORE LENDING cannot be measured. With over 30 years of experience in the Mortgage Industry, Richard’s vast amount of knowledge and servant leadership are respected by Industry Professionals nationwide. In 2000, Richard decided to leave Baton Rouge, where he grew up, and moved to the Northshore to open NOLA Lending Group.

Downtime and free time have always been foreign concepts to Richard. So, in true Richard fashion, immediately upon his move to the Northshore, he identified ways to be involved in the community. As if starting NOLA Lending Group, which morphed into a rapidly growing company exceeding over a billion in volume with 24 offices, wasn’t enough, Richard also played competitive tennis his first 10 years on the Northshore. While playing tennis, Richard created a network of great friends who he believes strongly contributed to his success. Chasing Realtors and Builders were not a “match” Richard made a priority. His love for life and people are Richard’s “ace.”

A famous tennis quote to describe Richard’s approach to business is, “Business is like tennis; those who serve well win.” Richard recognizes the importance of serving his clients and Team while capitalizing on available opportunities when the ball is on your side of the court. Once his boys were born, Richard hung up his racket and spent time focused on family. He spent years Coaching his three boys and loves sports, hunting, fishing, and spending time with his wife and boys.

What has not ever changed is Richard’s love for serving his community and the immense joy he receives when helping others. Since selling NOLA Lending Group in 2014, the Mortgage Industry model Richard was instrumental in establishing, has never been the same. Over the last 10 years, Richard has learned a lot from mistakes made throughout the Industry which led him to open CORE LENDING. 

“This industry has been overloaded with unnecessary waste for the past ten years or more. CORE LENDING’s platform collaborates with a fulfillment company and is equipped with seasoned Mortgage professionals who understand how to scale our model.  This will allow us to underwrite our own files, close loans in our name, while guaranteeing our clients the best rate on the market...yes, we will match rates! CORE LENDING’s platform was difficult to implement on my last two platforms,” states LaNasa.
