About Wanda:
“Be passionate about what you do.
Otherwise it’s just work”.
Wanda
Wegweiser is the president of Platinum
Financial Group, a full service mortgage
company in Boca Raton, Florida providing
the best programs for residential and
commercial financing. Her greatest
strength may be in her ability to handle
unanticipated situations with both a
sense of compassion and composure. It
was early in life when she felt that one
day she would own her own business.
After managing a family business in her
teenage years it was destined one day
she would be an entrepreneur.
Growing up
in New York gave Wanda her sense of
urgency. Manhattan gave her the
foundation to the business world, but
compassion for people is what makes her
successful. After working years in
residential leasing, she decided to move
into the mortgage industry. An industry
not yet saturated by part time mortgage
originators. “I entered the mortgage
business before any boom, before
everybody and anybody who felt they
could make a quick buck off of the
speculative market. I entered the
business for the purpose of helping
people get into homes as I always did.
But this time, I put them into homes
they would own”. After 8 years of
working for another mortgage company she
partnered up with Dan Fernandez.
“Partnering up with Wanda was an easy
decision for me. “We both felt strong
about the service we give our clients”.
Platinum Financial Group was opened
right at the beginning stages of the
downturn in the real estate market in
south Florida and other areas of the
U.S. “My friends thought I was crazy to
invest in a business when things were
only going to get worse before they get
better. The difference between me and
the other guy is, he closes files, and
we make clients. My company is a referral
based business. Referrals which come
from satisfied clients. I do what’s
right for my client. “Everyone thinks
you should go after the $, but that’s a
wrong mindset. Money should be the
reward, not the goal itself”. When
you run into Wanda you’ll know it. She’s
the tall red head with the big smile and
the energetic personality.
Wanda is a
member of the Women’s Executive Group,
Women for Excellence, Women’s
Professional Network, and Boca Raton
Chamber of Commerce. She contributes to
Kid’s in Distress, The Leukemia
Foundation, and The St. Jude’s Hospital,
and is the founder of the “The Pink
Martini’s for the American Breast Cancer
Society.

About Dan:
“Love What You Do,
Or Get Another Job”
Integrity
steers his motivation. It guides his
decision making process and encompasses
the strength of character he exhibits as
a businessman. Platinum Financial Group
opened its doors in 2005. It began with
the vision of two people wanting to take
the mortgage business to a new a level.
A level of service that has not been
matched anywhere.
Dan spent a
lifetime serving others. After 25 years
as a celebrated Texas chef and general
manager, Dan has decided he was ready to
leave pleasing palates to others and
focus solely on filling financial
platters.
Being third
generation real estate investor, the
mortgage industry was a natural for him.
With his partner Wanda Wegweiser, they
combined his teachings of the
hospitality industry with their
experience of the mortgage industry.
“Service is the most important aspect of
any business”.
“The
greatest satisfaction in being a
mortgage broker is having the ability to
search for the perfect program that
meets your clients needs. Being able to
help that first time homebuyer move into
their dream home, or prevent a home from
foreclosure. Helping people from
financial ruin or see the look on a face
of a real estate investor closing on
their first investment property.The
mortgage business is a love of helping
people, especially when it comes to
their dreams. It’s that simple”.
At Platinum
financial Group, we strive to keep the
customer always informed through the
loan process. No surprises!
Dan often
is called upon by Financial Planners,
Estate planning Attorneys, Insurance
Agents, and other professional
associates seeking consultation in
helping with their own clients needs.
His knowledge in the commercial real
estate arena has made him one of the
most sought after brokers. His attitude
towards taking care of the client has
pushed him go outside his expertise just
to meet the needs of the clients. “Once
a loyal client of mine ask me to find
him financing for a high speed boat, I
couldn’t say no. and once I was referred
by a CPA to get his client financing for
an RV. Sometimes you have to go the
extra mile.”
Since the
inception date, Platinum Financial Group
has grown with the additions of brokers
and staff. Service guaranteed is the
motto by all involved and will be as
long as Dan is around. Dan is a proud
father of twins and spends every
available minute with them. When he’s
not chauffeuring them to games or
gymnastics, Dan spends his spare time
with charitable organizations. Dan is on
the special events committee of Kids at
Home, American Breast Cancer Society and
the Leukemia Foundation. He is the
Co-Founder of the net working group The
Executive Roundtable of Ft. Lauderdale,
