First Citizens Community Bank (FCCB) continues to strengthen their presence in the South-Central region of Pennsylvania with the addition of Kathleen Tokonitz, an experienced mortgage lender who has spent more than 30 years in the banking field. For FCCB, Tokonitz will personally oversee the mortgage loan process from origination to closing in the Bank’s Schuylkill, Berks, Lebanon and Lancaster markets. With so much experience under her belt, Tokonitz is comfortable working with all types of homebuyers, from those purchasing their first home to more experienced borrowers.

 “We want every homebuyer to enter the mortgage process with confidence,” commented Kumi Smalanskas, South Central Market Executive. “Kathleen understands that purchasing a home is one of the largest financial decisions someone makes.  Her years of experience and attention to detail help homebuyers buy with confidence.”

Tokonitz has built an effective working relationship with local realtors who have come to rely on her for quick turnaround time and taking good care of their clients. A Schuylkill County native, she is a current member of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the Schuylkill County Chamber of Commerce, and the Schuylkill County Board of Realtors Association.
