Dallas and Douglas Pinnell at the Whitehall Mortgage office

Since 1982 — the short version

Whitehall Mortgage Financial opened its doors on South Keyser Avenue in Old Forge in 1982. Douglas Pinnell built it the old way: pick up the phone, tell people the truth, close the loan.

Forty-plus years later the office is the same, the phone still gets answered by a Pinnell, and the first-time buyers we financed in the ’80s have sent us their kids and their grandkids. Thousands of Pennsylvania families have bought, refinanced and built with Whitehall behind them.

Dallas Pinnell, Mortgage Broker

Meet Dallas Pinnell

I grew up in this business. My father founded it, and the office in Old Forge is where I learned that a mortgage isn’t paperwork — it’s somebody’s kitchen table. Today I lead Whitehall and split my time between Pennsylvania and South Florida, where I’ve been helping buyers and investors for six years from our Hollywood office.

People call me “the mortgage coach” because I’d rather teach you how this works than talk you into something. I work weekends — that’s when people find houses. If you’ve been told no somewhere else, call me before you give up.

Douglas Pinnell, Founder of Whitehall Mortgage Financial

Meet Douglas Pinnell

I opened Whitehall Mortgage Financial in Old Forge in 1982. I’ve been closing loans for Pennsylvania families ever since — more than four decades, thousands of closings, and three generations of the same families who keep coming back. I built the company on one rule: pick up the phone and tell people the truth.

I still work the Old Forge office and I still answer that phone. If you want someone who has seen every kind of file there is, ask for me at (570) 562-7505.
