Madison, WI. February 03, 2022 – Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation, a top-ten nationwide mortgage lender, is proud to announce that Fairway Producing Branch Manager Nicole Rueth led the ranking on the Mortgage Women Magazine's list of Top Women Originators in 2021.
Mortgage Women Magazine recognized the nation's top-producing women mortgage loan originators in its March 2022 digital edition. Rueth ranked No. 1 on the list of 44 women based on her total dollar volume of origination. Rueth led award recipients with origination sales totaling $374 million for 907 loans in 2021.
“Nicole has consistently shown true dedication and integrity in serving the home financing needs of her community. Her stellar work ethic makes her an excellent leader as she has successfully helped grow the Denver team to become one of the country’s best,” said Fairway Founder and CEO Steve Jacobson. "We are very proud of what she has accomplished, and are lucky to have her and her team as part of our Fairway family."
Rueth has a rich history in the mortgage industry, passionately advising clients on their wealth-building and home financing strategies for over 17 years in the Denver housing market. She started on the operations side of mortgage financing, including warehouse management, lender relationships, FHA/HUD approval, post-closing, and loan product management.
