Debbie Pittillo

Born in Hawaii and now calling Rancho Santa Margarita, California home, Debbie Pittillo brings something to this industry that very few people can claim — over 40 years in wholesale lending, and she still loves every bit of it. That's not a career. That's a calling. As a Senior Wholesale Account Executive, Debbie is relentless in the best possible way. She's making 40-plus sales calls a day, following up on conditions, pricing out loans, locking rates, giving presentations, and answering emails and phone calls well into the evenings and on Saturdays. Her standard is simple and non-negotiable: the client always knows that both she and BFF can close their loan on time. That promise isn't marketing. It's a commitment she backs up every single day. She keeps a sign on her desk that doubles as her work motto: is what you are doing going to make you money? It's a grounding reminder to stay focused and purposeful. Her personal motto runs even deeper: is what I am doing going to please God? Her Christian faith is the foundation everything else is built on — it drives her, sustains her, and shapes how she shows up for the people she serves. Outside of work, Debbie is a true book lover in the most committed sense of the word. She has five bookcases completely filled with books, with a particular love for mystery thrillers. She's also an avid gardener, and right now she's fostering Lady, a Pit Bull whose owner is in the hospital — stepping in without hesitation to give her a safe and loving home for the past five months. Debbie has always had Dalmatians, but Lady, she'll tell you, is a whole lot of fun. Personable, hardworking, and deeply knowledgeable — Debbie Pittillo is the kind of veteran who elevates everyone around her, brings positive energy to everything she touches, and goes the extra mile not because she has to, but because that's simply who she is.
