Pasadena Now published a story on Sept. 24 which incorrectly stated the Kennedy Capital Corporation of Pasadena has been merged with American First Financial. This is not true. The information was obtained from the Thomson Reuters publication peHUB, which quoted also an American First Financial Marketwire press release (see http://www.pehub.com/2013/09/23/american-first-financial-closes-merger-kennedy-capital-corp/ ).
The information, however, is incorrect.
“Kennedy Capital is not being acquired,†said Kennedy Kenji Tatsuno, owner and President of Kennedy Capital Corporation. “We are a Healthy and Profitable Mortgage Company in Pasadena.â€
Mr. Tatsuno went on to say that “2012 and 2013 have been some of our record years. We continue to serve our immediate Pasadena/San Marino/Foothills communities and all of California.  Kennedy Capital Corporation has received the Best in Mortgages Award 5 times by the local business association.â€
“We have seven licensed mortgage loan originators, and continue to be a premier lender of choice,†Tatsuno said.
The correct Kennedy Capital Corp. which merged with American First Financial is located in Toronto, Canada (www.kennedy-capital.de).
Pasadena Now regrets this error and any confusion it may have caused. Â
Kennedy Capital Corporation is located at 553 S. Marengo Ave. Pasadena, California  91101. For more information, call (626) 440-9430 or visit http://www.kennedycorp.com.
