Academy Mortgage extends lending operations in Colorado

Academy Mortgage has expanded its presence in Colorado’s housing market.

The Utah-headquartered mortgage lender said it is seeing rapid growth in two of Northern Colorado’s “best-kept secrets,” Greeley and Longmont. According to its release, the two housing markets are attracting many prospective homebuyers looking for a place with “proximity to the mountains and city life, family-oriented atmosphere, affordability, and a welcoming hometown feel.”

“By having Academy Mortgage in Greeley, we’re able to provide our clients with convenience, extended lending options, and sound mortgage and lending advice,” said Christina Delatorre, mortgage specialist at Academy Mortgage. “Being born and raised here, we understand that having a national lender at the local level will offer our customers a personalized mortgage experience matched with a friendly and familiar face, community-driven mission, and a lender that truly cares.”

“We know the significance of being welcomed to a small town where the community is the heart of its culture,” said Edward Powers, Denver market manager at Academy Mortgage. “As we continue to grow our presence, we want to make it our goal to be immersed locally and show the community that Academy Mortgage is there for them throughout every step of the way.”
