Company Profile

Panda Realty was founded in August of 1988 by broker, Russ Beckwith with his wife Mary. From their 8/8/88 startup date, Mary Beckwith has been the sales manager and senior sales agent.

The owners have never focused on becoming a large company as they feel their smaller size allows them to ensure the very best in client satisfaction.

History of Metro Mortgage

Panda Realty’s founders, Russell D. Beckwith and Mary Beckwith, established Metro Mortgage in 1990, in order to expand the services to their customers. They found that many property buyers and owners like to have "One-stop Shopping" for their real estate needs. The company primarily assists current and past Panda Realty clients with their financial needs.

In 1999, Marco Beckwith took over the operations of Metro Mortgage.  This shift in management allowed more focused attention in the lending portion of the business.  Furthermore, Mary Beckwith could focus more on Panda Realty's primary business of real estate listings and sales.

Metro Mortgage brokers loans for real estate clients from a variety of conventional, institutional, and private sources to meet the financing needs of their clients. They can package competitively priced loan solutions to meet the complex needs of many first-time and overseas homebuyers.

Metro Mortgage currently has agreements and arrangements with the following wholesale and retail financial institutions:

Bank of America

Cal Fed

Express Capital Lending

First Mortgage Corporation Funding

Flagstar Bank
