Think your credit score is the only thing standing between you and homeownership? Think again. When reviewing a mortgage application, lenders look at the complete financial picture. Not just your credit score.

If you've been waiting for the "perfect" score before exploring your options, now may be the time to start the conversation.

We are proud to celebrate a major milestone for one of our leaders at SFMC Home Lending.

Please join us in congratulating Clay West on his recent induction as a Board Member of the Texas Mortgage Bankers Association (TMBA).

Clay’s involvement with TMBA has grown over many years, from attending industry events to serving on committees, speaking on panels, and co-chairing the Southern Secondary Marketing Conference in both 2025 and 2026. Last month, at the Annual Conference, he was formally inducted onto the TMBA Board of Directors.

We are incredibly proud to see his dedication, leadership, and industry expertise recognized at this level. The relationships he has built and the contributions he continues to make within the mortgage industry reflect the values we strive for every day at SFMC Home Lending.

🔦 Core Value in Action: Initiative Through Ownership

At SFMC Home Lending, one of our core values is taking initiative through ownership. We believe that real impact happens when team members step up, lead through change, and support others in delivering their best work.

This core value was recently demonstrated through the leadership of Michael Chalker, Matthew Royal and Diana Gonzalez during the rollout of our new CRM platform.

Change is never easy, especially when implementing new technology across an organization. But instead of simply reacting to challenges, they stepped up and helped lead the transition.

From hosting weekly Friday training sessions and open discussions to helping troubleshoot issues and guide adoption, they have brought consistency, calm leadership, and a solutions focused mindset throughout the process.

Their efforts are helping drive stronger adoption, smoother integration, and ultimately a better customer experience at scale.

This is what ownership looks like in action.

👏 Thank you, Michael, Matt, and Diana, for leading by example and representing this core value so well!
