BankSouth Mortgage, the fourth-largest purchase mortgage and third-largest new construction mortgage provider in Georgia, held a special open house and ribbon cutting event at their new mortgage office located at 200 Stephenson Ave. on Thursday, February 18th. Savannah Area Chamber of Commerce members, local business owners, community influencers, and friends, family and clients of BankSouth & BankSouth Mortgage all came out to celebrate this important community event.
