Greg Longman founded Longman Financial Group more than five years ago after determining that Lafayette’s mortgage clientele deserved more personalized service and greater customer care than the traditional corporate banking venues were offering. With a degree in finance from Louisiana State University, Greg has created, and continues to maintain, a reputation of professionalism and integrity in south Louisiana’s mortgage industry. A licensed residential mortgage loan originator, the mission of Longman Financial Group is to provide our state’s robust housing market and related businesses with quality real estate finance solutions. This goal is accomplished on a daily basis through established relationships with a wide array of lenders—both commercial and residential. “We are able to offer the most innovative real estate financing options available, without having to compromise on the individual attention our clients’ deserve,” notes Greg, and an ever-increasing list of satisfied and repeat customers serves as testimony to the success of Longman Financial Group.

Brittany O'Neal began her financial career with MidSouth Bank, where she advanced from a part-time Teller position to a full-time Head Teller position during her three-year tenure with the Lafayette institution. Her achievements within the banking industry continued as her career path led her to Energy Capital Credit Union in Houston where she spent two years as a Branch Manager. Over time, her love of Lafayette prevailed, and she enthusiastically returned to her native home. As a Senior Mortgage Executive with Longman Financial Group, Brittany cultivates her inside knowledge of banking operations to effectively communicate between lenders and borrowers. Her strong work ethic and personable nature allow her to navigate through the difficult circumstances that sometimes arise during the lending process. While often occurring “behind-the-scene”, Brittany’s strengths take front stage when her clients express their gratitude at their Act of Sale—the final step in a well-managed loan process for all parties involved.
