OPES ADVISORS

A New Approach to Your Home Purchase Rick Benitez, Todd Allen and Tony Russo, the three managing directors of Opes in the East Bay (formally Landmark Mortgage Group) bring an aggregate 60 years of experience in the mortgage industry. They have been in the East Bay region since 2007 guiding the same core team and expanded from a single 7 employee office to 4 locations and 40 plus employees. As Landmark Mortgage Group our team won the Pleasanton Weekly Readers Choice award 4 years consecutively. We are grateful for this recognition from the community that we serve. In January of 2015 Landmark Mortgage Group announced it will begin operating under the Opes brand name. Landmark Mortgage Group’s strong regional presence enabled Opes Advisors to expand operations into the East Bay region. Simultaneously, Landmark Mortgage Group is now able to offer clients a unique approach to the mortgage decision using Opes Advantage; an Opes proprietary software. The Opes Advantage platform enables buyers and sellers to analyze their transaction in the context of their entire financial life, by running different scenarios. Clients understand the impact of financial decisions both short and long term, enabling them to make informed decisions. Our goal is to extend the benefit of Opes Advantage integrated analysis to as many clients as possible. Clients can also take advantage of the Opes Wealth management division in collaboration with home mortgage analysis to ensure long term financial well-being.
