Our Team

Brent Nardecchia | CEO & Co-Founder

With over 20 years of experience in the Phoenix real estate market, Brent has built an unrivaled knowledge of home lending solutions to best serve the great state of Arizona. In that time, Brent built his reputation by offering white glove service and staying true to his commitments. It’s those very traits that carry over into the mission of High Place Mortgage – To build a better mortgage experience by leveraging the latest tech, building a high-performing team to raise the standard in mortgage service, and keeping true honor to our word. When not working on loans, Brent further fuels his passion for real estate through investing and building new homes to revitalize the community.

Outside of work, you can find Brent spending quality time with his family and cheering in the stands at his kids’ many sporting events. Brent is a transplant from Cleveland, Ohio, but has been a proud Arizona resident since college. The beauty of the desert and vibrant atmosphere of Phoenix’s growing population are two of the many reasons that Brent and his family call Arizona their home.
