LIMA, OH—Superior Credit Union, Inc., announced today that its subsidiary, Superior Financial Solutions, LLC, has acquired Yocum Realty, a real estate brokerage firm in Lima, Ohio. The acquisition adds to Superior’s current home and business-related offerings of mortgage origination, title services, and property and casualty insurance.
"Yocum Realty has a strong presence and great reputation in West Central Ohio," stated Phil Buell, President and CEO of Superior Credit Union. "We believe this will be a true benefit to our current and new members as we provide them convenient access to real estate brokerage services. As West Central Ohio’s mortgage leader, offering our members brokerage services will further enhance the buying and selling experience. We are excited to have Tim Stanford and his team join Superior."
Yocum Realty was founded in 1961 by R.L. Yocum. Tim Stanford has owned the firm since 2002, when he purchased it from his father-in-law, Gene Nameche. Today, the firm has 26 agents serving West Central Ohio. Stanford will continue in his current role and has been named Vice President of Real Estate Services for Superior Financial Solutions. The agency will also maintain its office at 421 S. Cable in Lima.
"I have worked with Superior for years and always felt they shared Yocum’s commitment to outstanding service," said Stanford. “When we started discussing this opportunity with Superior, they really had a vision of how we could fit into the bigger Superior picture and provide even more value to buyers and sellers. We are thrilled to become a part of the Superior team. The news has created a lot of enthusiasm among our agents.”
"Several credit unions nationally have incorporated this business model with great success," said Kurt Neeper, Senior Vice President of Superior Financial Solutions. “With real estate, mortgage, title, and insurance services, we can now serve a buyer from beginning to end and dramatically simplify the real estate process.”
Since visiting Superior Credit Union both Laurie and I have become members and moved money into investments through Superior. We have been VERY happy with the service provided by Tim Niebel and others that we have come in contact with. The customer service and value of being appreciated as a member by far surpasses any bank we have been in contact with or used. Prior to playing the Piggy Bank promotion, I had barely heard of Superior and after we talked to many of our friends who are members and got excellent reviews.Bill & Laurie

We could not be happier with our experience with Superior! Working with Kelly was a dream. Not only was she informative, she added a true personal touch to the entire process. Would absolutely recommend working with Superior CU for your mortgage needs!Connor & Katie
A year ago, we refinanced our home with Superior Credit Union and Kelly Dattilo. She was so incredibly helpful that when we recently bought a new home in Tucson, AZ, we called her immediately to ask for her help again! Kelly is very knowledgeable and professional and we highly recommend her for any kind of mortgage assistance. She’s readily available and very patient when I have questions and makes sure that I understand the answers which I really appreciate. Again, we highly recommend her – she’s the best!!Cindy & Rick
Kelly Dattilo was absolutely amazing to work with. She went above and beyond trying to find what would work best for me. She was very open and honest, which as a first-time buyer made everything easier. You can tell she genuinely cares about those she is working with.Renae M.
As a first-time homebuyer, I had the best experience with Kelly Dattilo at Superior. Her patience and kindness to explain all of the process and the different options made the entire experience seamless and exciting! The SuperiorFirst grant helped me so much throughout my process of homebuying and financing! I can’t thank Kelly enough for helping me secure my first home with the advantage of using the first-time homebuyers grant!Lindsey C.
Without the SuperiorFirst grant funds and help of Superior Credit Union, homeownership would not have been possible. The process from pre-approval to closing was very easy.Kalen L.
Todd and the rest of the amazing Superior staff made my vehicle purchase smooth and convenient for me. They truly went above and beyond to provide the most fantastic customer service, well past their closing hours so I could pick up my vehicle on time. I cannot thank them enough, from our personal accounts, business account, mortgage and now two auto loans - Superior is our number one choice!Holly S.
Thanks for your help with the loan!!! Love love love this car!!!Amanda M.
With the recent reduction in interest rates, we inquired to see if we could qualify for a better mortgage rate with Superior. We applied online to inquire about refinancing and were contacted within a day by Alisha at Superior. She provided us with plenty of information, answered all our questions and was great to work with. We qualified for a better interest rate which ultimately led to a reduction on our minimum principal and interest payment. This gave us the ability to reduce the time to pay off our mortgage by making the same monthly payment as we were with our previous lender. Superior was easy to work with, willing to answer all our questions and, most important, helped us save money.Alyssa & Chris
Julie and Kelly were both fantastic, they met all our needs and very professional. Even when we hit small roadblocks they worked through it, and always found solutions. Great company to work with, they will help save you tons of money.Shawn & Natalie
