The Motivation for a Mortgage Career: Bhim Dhakal

Our mortgage team recently took a moment to reflect on what inspired them to pursue a career in the industry. We invite you to learn more about their personal journeys and passion for helping customers achieve their homeownership goals.

Bhim Dhakal, Mortgage Originator

“I started my career with ESL 11 years ago as an Advance Hire Teller. I’ve had several positions, such as Senior Teller, Bilingual Relationship Banker, and Senior Relationship Banker. Currently I work as a Mortgage Originator.”

– Bhim Dhakal

Why Mortgage?

As a first-generation homebuyer, I faced challenges while searching for the right lender when I purchased my house. Specifically, I faced language barriers, as there were no originators in Rochester who spoke my first language (Nepalese). Given that Rochester is home to over 10,000 Nepali-speaking Americans, I felt compelled to become a mortgage originator myself to help others achieve their dream of homeownership in a language they understand.

Why ESL?

At ESL, I see our core values reflected in action every day and by everyone. Our senior management team actively seeks input from all employees, listens, and implements suggestions. The environment is respectful and supportive, and makes it feel like a family.
