Dallas, TX

Evergreen Home Loans has appointed Walter Gallipeau as the new Area Manager, marking an important step in the company’s expansion into Texas. Gallipeau’s appointment was confirmed in a LinkedIn post on Thursday, and he is set to operate from the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

With over 20 years of experience in finance and business, Gallipeau comes to Evergreen from his previous role as Senior Vice President at Texas Bank and Trust. During his eight years there, he was responsible for leading the bank’s initiatives in the DFW region and successfully funded over $250 million in production. Gallipeau was recognized as the top producer at Texas Bank and Trust and is known for building high-performing teams with a focus on strong communication and a solutions-oriented mindset.

In his new capacity at Evergreen Home Loans, Gallipeau aims to alleviate operational pressures on executives by managing sales development, implementing key branch initiatives, and enhancing talent recruitment and retention efforts. His leadership qualities and cultural alignment with Evergreen have already drawn praise from the company’s Assistant Vice President of Loan Production and Sales Operations.

Company Growth and Expansion Strategy

This expansion into Texas aligns with Evergreen Home Loans’ broader growth strategy across the United States. Earlier this year, the company extended its operations to five Southeastern states: Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. In March 2025, they also opened two branches in New Mexico.

Founded over three decades ago and headquartered in Bellevue, Washington, Evergreen Home Loans has made a name for itself by providing affordable, personalized mortgage solutions. The company prides itself on its commitment to delivering “On Time and As Promised®” service, while striving to create a positive experience for its customers.

Licensing and Market Presence

With this latest development, Evergreen now holds licenses to operate in several states, including Arizona, California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and Texas. The addition of Texas marks a significant milestone in the company’s journey, increasing its footprint and enhancing its capacity to serve clients in a crucial market.

As Gallipeau steps into his new role, the emphasis will be on fostering a collaborative environment that not only addresses operational challenges but also capitalizes on growth opportunities in Texas and beyond. Stakeholders are eager to see how his extensive background in financial services and leadership will contribute to Evergreen’s continued success in the competitive mortgage lending landscape.
