Eric Putt is a sales manager at Waterstone Mortgage Corporation and runs the company’s Lake Mary branch. Putt manages a team of five mortgage loan originators (MLOs) and is a top producing MLO himself. He has been consistently ranked in the Top 1 percent of mortgage originators in the country and has been recognized as a “National Mortgage News Top Producer” and a “Scotsman Guide Top Originator.”

He lives in Maitland with his wife, daughter and son. When not working, he spends his time on the baseball and softball fields, coaching his kids’ teams. And although it doesn’t happen as often as he’d like, he gets out on the boat as much as possible to fish or just spend a day relaxing at the sandbar.

Putt’s production team consists of his loan partners Alex Zayas and Eve Czech. Zayas handles front-end details such as taking loan applications, pre qualifications, structuring loans and following up with referral partners and customers. Czech oversees operational responsibilities from “contract to close” and serves as the team’s loan processor. “I have the best team a loan originator could ever ask for,” says Putt. “While it’s my name on everything, and while I may be the one to receive the accolades, there’s no way it could all happen without them. They truly hold the fort down, as I like to say around the office.”
