We are so happy to welcome another great loan officer to Southern Trust! Welcome, Rusty Maness!

While the market is always changing, Rusty prides himself on keeping his approach to lending consistent: prioritizing relationships over transactions.

He genuinely wants to help people navigate the process and feel confident as they work toward closing on their new home. When unexpected hurdles come up, Rusty works diligently behind the scenes to get everything back on track, helping his clients feel at ease throughout the process.

When he’s not mapping out loan strategies, you’ll find him spending time outdoors, fishing, or relaxing at home with his family.
