A Focus on Team Growth
This newly formed team joins a flourishing branch already led by Caveh Azadeh, Sr. Vice President of Sales.

Commitment to Developing Relationships
Expressing his enthusiasm about the new additions, Azadeh stated, "I'm very excited to bring Ravi, Justin, and the entire team on board to Union Home. Welcoming a group of this caliber showcases our growth ambitions, which is deeply rooted in fostering strong relationships and shared values."
Experience in the Mortgage Industry
Justin Allen, who entered the mortgage industry via Fidelity Investments, has built a solid career including roles at UMortgage and Nations Reliable Lending. He carries with him nine years of experience and a commitment to educating homebuyers, particularly first-time buyers. Settling in Anderson Township with his family, he is dedicated to providing tailor-made solutions to diverse mortgage needs.
The Coming Together of Colleagues
Allen reflects on the journey he has shared with former colleagues, stating, "It has been incredible to see how my former colleagues and I have each traversed unique paths only to reunite now. We’ve learned greatly through these experiences, especially in navigating the changing market post-COVID. I couldn’t be more excited for what lies ahead."
Expertise of Ravi Patel
Ravi Patel also adds a wealth of experience to the team, having previously worked with Guaranteed Rate and UMortgage over the past decade. Now living in Northern Kentucky, he is passionate about assisting homebuyers and contributing positively to the local community. Patel emphasized the importance of team cohesion, stating, "Keeping our team together was our top priority. We possess real talent and energy that drives us to break down barriers and achieve new milestones together."
Achievements and Aspirations
In their last operational year, Patel and Allen's team closed nearly 1,000 units, funding over $260 million, while Azadeh's team contributed by closing 874 units with a funding of $215 million. With combined efforts, they aspire to set new records moving forward.
