Matt Lancaster (Mortgage Matt) reposted thisMatt Lancaster (Mortgage Matt) reposted thisloanDepot was just named a top U.S. mortgage lender for 2026 — recognized by Bankrate, CNBC Select, TIME and USA TODAY for customer service, on-time closings, competitive pricing and flexible loan options. Best in-person VA lender. Best for FHA. Best for lower credit scores. I've spent 16 years in this business, 8 at loanDepot, and here's what those awards mean from the seat I sit in: they're the difference between telling a first-time buyer "I think we can" and a confident "we can." Between a Realtor who wonders if you'll close and one who sends you the next three deals - because you always do. Recognition like this isn't the goal. It's the result of doing the work right — treating each transaction as a family counting on us, earning their trust, and closing the deal. To my fellow LOs and the agents I work alongside: this is the kind of platform that makes the hard files possible. Glad to be doing it here. #mortgage #homeownership #Nashville #loanDepot

Matt Lancaster (Mortgage Matt) shared thisThis..... this is leadership. Being in leadership and realizing that it is a pretty thankless job, with lots of ups and downs; new relationships created, old ones broken, and knowing this business can chew you up and spit you out (if you let it), I have been making it a priority to let those people that help drive my business and production know that I care about them and what they do matters. Aligning myself with Brandy Stemmler and the loanDepot team has been a breath of fresh air. Not one without ups and downs, but one with transparency, love, and dedication to taking our team to the next level. Brandy Stemmler is the hardest working most transparent person I have ever been around, and she really cares about the team. My team has grown to absolutely love her in a very short period of time and we are so thankful that she chose to ride this rollercoaster of a business with us!! loanDepot 2.0 is different..... It feels different than anything I've been a part of....If you're a loan officer, wondering how to take the next step, or how to grow your business, shoot me a DM. Let's change the landscape of the mortgage and real estate world together!Matt Lancaster (Mortgage Matt) shared thisSnapshots from #ChairmansElite2026 🎥: "Being a branch manager, to me, is about far more than hitting numbers. It’s about building people, creating trust and showing up consistently, especially on the extremely tough days." 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 From saving lives as an ICU nurse to changing lives as an industry leader. 💜💚 Congratulations, Brandy Stemmler, on being the number three Retail Branch Manager in the country! 🏆🎉 #TeamloanDepot

Matt Lancaster (Mortgage Matt) reposted thisMatt Lancaster (Mortgage Matt) reposted thisThe February builder data is in… and the gap is real. loanDepot is officially the #1 Independent Mortgage Bank in Builder Volume (2026 YTD) — according to Zonda. There’s a reason for it 👇 • Experience Counts Leadership that understands builders, cycles, and how to keep communities moving • People + Execution Dedicated LOs & operations teams focused on exceeding builder & client expectations • Product Depth Flexible, common-sense underwriting across: CNV | FHA | VA | USDA | Jumbo | Non-QM • Extended Rate Locks + Float Down Build with confidence knowing your payment & rate can only improve • Builder-Focused Solutions #1 Forward Commitment platform In-house DPA programs • Best-in-Class Tech A platform built for today—and what’s coming next There’s a reason we’re #1… and it’s not close. If you’re a builder, Realtor, or mortgage professional focused on new construction— DM me for a demo. You should take a look. 💯

Matt Lancaster (Mortgage Matt) shared thisBig night. Big vision. Bigger opportunity. Sitting in a room at Chandlers with our local leaders, breaking bread, sharing ideas, and talking about where we’re headed at LoanDepot… it hit me. This isn’t just a move. It’s momentum. Being surrounded by some of the absolute best in the business — leaders who think bigger, move faster, and care deeply about doing things the right way — is something those of us who are new to LoanDepot don’t take lightly. Not for a second. Growth happens when you get in the right rooms. Elevation happens when you’re led by people who’ve already built at the highest level. Grateful for the opportunity. Grateful for the leadership. Grateful for the team. We’re just getting started. 🚀 #TeamLoanDepot #TheMortgageTeam #MortgageMatt #IdahoMortgages #IdahoRealEstate

Matt Lancaster (Mortgage Matt) shared thisLet me start by saying this — I walked away from the Awaken Summit more convinced than ever that the best seasons in business and in life start with the heart being in the right place. The Awaken Summit was an incredible experience. It was refreshing, inspiring, and honestly just good for the soul to be in a room where worshipping God openly, loving people well, and focusing on purpose came before anything else. As we look toward 2026, I feel a renewed sense of clarity and energy. There’s something powerful about stepping away from the daily grind for a bit to be reminded why we do what we do. The teaching, the conversations, the fellowship, and yes — even the lines for coffee that felt like strategic networking opportunities — all of it mattered. What stood out most was the spirit of the room. There was no comparison culture, no ego-driven energy, just people genuinely cheering each other on and sharing ideas. That’s not just refreshing; it’s rare. I truly believe the future belongs to people who can pursue excellence in their work while still leading with kindness, faith, and integrity. We can compete hard. We can build big things. And we can still treat people the right way along the journey. Huge thank you to everyone who was there. If we connected, laughed, prayed, or talked business, I appreciated every minute. If you were at the conference and want to talk about it, compare notes, or just share what you experienced, feel free to reach out. I’d genuinely love to hear what stood out to you and what you’re taking home from it. Those conversations are the best part of moments like this. Here’s to 2026 — bigger vision, stronger faith, and building things that actually matter long term. Let’s go. 🙏💪

Matt Lancaster (Mortgage Matt) shared thisThis.... this makes a difference. The beautiful state of Idaho is growing, and we are here to help. If you are a builder that has much needed inventory to get rid of, or wants to look at how to strategize yourself in a weird market, let's talk!Matt Lancaster (Mortgage Matt) shared thisThank you to our Joint Venture partners for another fantastic year as the nation’s top independent mortgage bank in builder volume, according to Zonda.

The next evolution of mortgage is here — and it’s going to reward the bold. 🚀Matt Lancaster (Mortgage Matt) shared this🚀 Anthony & Team are back — and we’re rolling out LD 2.0.

Matt Lancaster (Mortgage Matt) liked thisMatt Lancaster (Mortgage Matt) liked thisExperience matters, especially when it comes with the drive to create something meaningful. Ben Temple joins loanDepot as a Retail Area Manager in Virginia with nearly two decades in mortgage lending. As a longtime owner and executive at OVM Financial, he helped shape a respected local business while gaining first-hand expertise in production, team development and sustainable growth. Ben understands how to earn homeowners’ trust and turn a strong vision into results. His combination of local insight and industry knowledge is exactly what loanDepot 2.0 needs as we continue to advance. I’m excited to welcome Ben and see the impact he’ll make with loanDepot’s national platform and proprietary technology behind him. #loanDepot #MortgageLeadership #Homeownership #Virginia

Matt Lancaster (Mortgage Matt) liked thisMatt Lancaster (Mortgage Matt) liked thisOfficially one month down as a Talent Acquisition Partner here at loanDepot, and what a ride it has been! My first two weeks were technically pure training, yet still managed to bring 12 licensed LOs into the family. Hitting the ground running like this was only possible for two reasons: 1. The Brand Sells Itself: When you talk to mortgage professionals right now, they feel the momentum of loanDepot 2.0. 2. A Kickass Team: The support from day one has been unmatched. There is serious money to be made here, and the platform is built for your growth. If you’re a licensed Loan Officer tired of fighting upstream and ready to feel the momentum of a household brand that actually has your back, let’s talk. #loanDepot #LoanOfficers #Hiring
