The Jeffco business landscape continues to demonstrate remarkable strength as local entrepreneurs take center stage on a national level. At the ninth annual Motto Mortgage Innovation and Loan Excellence (MILE) Summit held recently in San Antonio, Texas, Lakewood-based Motto Mortgage Mavens secured two prestigious national awards, highlighting the city’s role as a hub for financial growth and professional excellence.
Motto Mortgage is a national mortgage brokerage franchise brand based in Denver. Designed to disrupt the traditional lending model, the network emphasizes consumer choice and transparency by connecting loan originators directly with real estate agents. As a member of the RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. family of brands, Motto operates through independently owned and licensed offices, providing a personalized “one-stop shop” experience for homebuyers seeking diverse loan options.
The ceremony, which celebrated a network that closed over $2.5 billion in loan volume in 2025, specifically recognized the following achievements from Lakewood’s own Motto Mortgage Mavens:
- Greatest Volume Gain: Awarded to Christiana Hill Hamlin, Broker Owner, for achieving significant year-over-year growth in loan production.
- Top Individuals – Total Refinance Volume: Christiana Hill Hamlin also earned a top-three national ranking for her success in helping homeowners navigate the refinance market.
These accolades reflect a broader trend of resilience in the JeffCo housing market. As local families seek personalized home financing solutions, the success of Lakewood franchisees underscores the importance of having high-performing, community-focused mortgage experts right here in our backyard. The recognition of Motto Mortgage Mavens serves as a testament to the professional talent contributing to the economic vitality of the Denver metropolitan area.
