NAHREP’s Top 250 Latino Mortgage Originators of 2024 Revealed
In an industry where representation matters, the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals (NAHREP) continues to champion the success and recognition of Latino professionals. The recently unveiled 2024 NAHREP Top 250 Latino Mortgage Originators list showcases the exceptional talent and achievements of Latino mortgage originators across the United States, highlighting their pivotal role in advancing homeownership within the Hispanic community.
Each year, NAHREP honors the top 250 Latino mortgage originators, celebrating their dedication, hard work, and significant contributions to the real estate industry. Topping this year's list is Norma Guerrero Cowes from DHI Mortgage in Austin, TX. With an impressive 362 closed mortgages totaling $121,950,298, Guerrero Cowes has demonstrated exceptional expertise and commitment to her clients.
Following closely in second place is Armando SanMiguel from Ameris Bank in Franklin, TN, with 360 closed mortgages and a total volume of $130,707,484. SanMiguel's achievements reflect his relentless pursuit of excellence and his dedication to helping Latino families achieve their homeownership dreams. SanMiguel reflects on his journey: "My mother and father instilled in me the value of hard work and always doing the best at any thing you do in life. They always believed that I could achieve anything if I would just do those two things with passion. I am driven by their example and the need to be an example to my children."
NAHREP's Top 250 Latino Mortgage Originators list also provides a regional breakdown, highlighting the top originators in various parts of the country. This regional focus emphasizes the widespread impact and reach of Latino mortgage professionals.
NAHREP's mission extends beyond recognizing individual achievements. The organization is dedicated to promoting sustainable homeownership within the Latino community. Through initiatives like the Top 250 Latino Mortgage Originators, NAHREP aims to inspire and empower Latino professionals, while also advocating for policies and practices that support Latino homeownership.
NAHREP's ongoing efforts are further complemented by the Hispanic Wealth Project, an initiative aimed at advancing Latino economic mobility and wealth building. By providing resources, education, and support, NAHREP and the Hispanic Wealth Project are driving positive change and fostering an environment where Latino professionals can thrive.
As the real estate and mortgage industries continue to evolve, the contributions of Latino professionals will remain crucial. The NAHREP Top 250 Latino Mortgage Originators list not only celebrates past achievements but also sets the stage for future successes. With leaders like Norma Guerrero Cowes and Armando SanMiguel paving the way, the future of Latino homeownership looks bright.
In line with this vision, the Hispanic Wealth Project aims to achieve a 50 percent or greater rate of US Hispanic homeownership, increase the first-year success rate of Hispanic-owned small businesses by 50 percent, and boost the number of Hispanic households owning non-cash financial assets by 25 percent. These goals are essential as homeownership remains the primary vehicle for wealth creation in the middle class, driving broader investments in education, small-business formation, and more.
