The Loan Officer Perspectives Really Matter

Choosing where to grow your loan officer career is a big decision. That’s why it helps to hear from people who’ve made that choice. These stories come straight from Summit loan officers and team leaders. People who know firsthand what it’s like to work here.

Michael Brewbaker – Branch Manager

Michael shares why he returned to Summit after trying another company, and how the leadership, systems, and support he missed brought him back.

Seeing what I saw in our detour away from Summit, a lot of dysfunction, a lot of disconnection. Summit is very efficient, very dialed in. I really didn’t know that until I saw other companies.

Pat Barney – Branch Manager

As one of the longest-tenured employees at Summit Mortgage, Pat shares his perspectives on why he has remained at Summit for over 30 years.

I think the biggest factor is the people I work with. That’s why I’ve stayed. I’ve had opportunities over time to go somewhere else, and I haven’t really looked around because I’m happy where I’m at.

Kevin Kappler – Retired Regional Manager

Kevin talks about the importance of building trust and protecting your reputation, which is why he values Summit’s transparency and consistency.

Summit has been a very proven entity for us, we value the operations, we value the underwriting consistency… Not every company is as transparent as Summit is.
