BLOOMINGTON, Ill., Oct. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- MSI, a retail, wholesale, correspondent and reverse mortgage lender, announces the opening of its new Pekin office. Located at 3210 Court Street in Pekin, the lender will offer a full range of competitively priced products, including fixed and adjustable rates, FHA, VA and more to residents in the Pekin, Peoria and Morton areas. The office opens for business on Monday, Nov. 4.

MSI has appointed Vikki Price, senior loan officer, to lead the office. Price brings more than 20 years of experience serving the area. Over the last decade, she became one of the area's leading originators, with nearly 3,000 units sold and more than $200 million in loans originated. In her new role, Price will manage operations of the office to ensure MSI offers consumers the easiest path to homeownership.

"I am very proud to be leading the MSI office in Pekin," said Price. "I love helping people get into their homes. Having served the area for such a long time, the residents are like family to me. The Pekin staff and I look forward to providing highly responsive service and the most appropriate mortgage solutions to get area residents on the easiest path to their dream home."

According to MSI CEO Mark Young, the company has been targeting the greater Peoria area for several years.

"We are excited to expand our footprint in Illinois, and we are confident Vikki is the perfect person to lead the new office," said Young. "Her passion for the community comes through in her work, and we are certain residents will appreciate how easy we make the process to purchase or refinance a home."

In celebration of the grand opening, MSI is collecting non-perishable food items for the Salvation Army, as well as new or gently used winter coats (adult sizes S–XXL preferred) for donation to kids ages 12–20 at Peoria Children's Home. Residents can stop by the office the week of Nov. 11 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. to drop off donations. The office will have extended hours until 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 13, to accept contributions.
