Certainty Home Lending Adds Tom Sherman as SVP in Texas

Certainty Home Lending has named Tom Sherman senior vice president of mortgage lending, adding a 29-year industry veteran as the Rate subsidiary strengthens its presence in Texas.

Based in McKinney, Sherman will serve borrowers throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and East Texas, including Collin, Kaufman, and Henderson counties, as well as the Tyler area.

Sherman previously served as a producing branch manager at Benchmark Mortgage. His background spans multiple areas of mortgage lending, giving him experience across the origination process from application through closing.

“Certainty was built in Texas, and the relationships we formed here are a big part of who we are as a company,” CEO Franco Terango said. “Bringing on a lender with Tom’s experience and local roots is an important step in strengthening that presence across the state.”

The appointment follows other recent additions to Certainty's production leadership, including the August hiring of Troy Williamson as senior vice president of mortgage lending and producing sales manager in Wilmington, North Carolina.

Dallas-based Certainty Home Lending operates nationally as part of Rate.
