VIP Mortgage

Our History

VIP Mortgage Inc was founded in 2005 by Clark Miller, Brian Shatto, Russell Pulliam, and Chuck Weaver.

Prior to starting VIP, the four partners were the Operational Managers for what was then the largest independently owned mortgage company in Tarrant County. Over the course of 3 years they quadrupled the size of the company.

VIP aims to provide real estate financing solutions matching each customer and their unique needs.

We intend to provide our customers with "white glove" service. The customer will receive the best of all worlds - excellent customer service, great quality with multiple options, and a good overall price.

Clark Miller

Clark has over 16 years experience in the mortgage industry starting in Colorado in the late 1980’s. After moving to Dallas in 1995, Clark worked with Nationsbank as a Vice President, overseeing 40 employees in the employee mortgage operations division.

In addition to underwriting, supervising the process employees, and supervising process flow he also worked with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac securing waivers for exemptions on the process as needed. After consolidation due to the Nationsbank/Bank of America merger he went to work for the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) which gave him a unique insight into the regulatory as well as Banking and Thrift side of the mortgage industry.

Getting back into the broker industry after the FHLB, he worked briefly with First Choice Lenders and then went on to CPF in 2002. At CPF he was instrumental managing all 6 of the branches, along with Brian and Russell, to increase production from around $4 million a month to over $20 million by the end of 2004.

Brian Shatto

Brian has over 8 years of experience in the mortgage industry. After working for many of the Dallas areas’ major mortgage companies he started with CPF in 1999 and he quickly became the top volume and unit producer for the company. Brian was in charge of the warehouse lines of credit.

He has extensive knowledge in the area of subprime loans and was key to CPF securing a “subprime” line of credit, one of the few in the industry to the best of our knowledge. Brian is second only to Chuck in volume produced at VIP and in fact produces more units than Chuck.

Russel Pulliam

Russell has over 5 years of experience starting with CPF in early 2000. Prior to CPF Russell worked in the automobile industry as a finance and insurance manager for over 6 years. This gave Russell unique customer service management experience that still is evident today. Russell along with Clark ran the day to day operations for CPF with Brian managing the subprime channel. Prior to becoming one of the operations managers at CPF he actually ran the CPF branch in Aledo Texas.

Then making the move with Clark to CPF where he was the largest originator in volume and revenue in 2003 and 2004. Chuck has a unique way of addressing a mortgage and is right at home with all of the new niche products now available within the mortgage industry. He is very adept at marketing and has proved nimble at being able to exploit trends in the market to increase production.
