Oklahoma lender now has 170 offices across the U.S.

Gateway Mortgage, a division of Gateway First Bank, announced the opening of its 40th Texas location in Lampasas, which is the home of the world’s largest spur. This brings the Oklahoma company’s footprint to 170 mortgage centers nationwide.

“My passion is helping families realize their dreams of homeownership,” said MaKayla Eckert, mortgage sales manager in the new Lampasas location. “It’s extremely fulfilling to work for a supportive team dedicated to strengthening families and communities.”

“Since joining Gateway, I have been amazed by the team’s commitment to helping our customers,” said Steven Plaisance, president of Mortgage Banking for Gateway. “Part of that commitment is through a growth strategy of expanding to new communities where more customers can enjoy the Gateway experience of putting people first.”

Gateway funded more than $10 billion in mortgage loans in 2021, assisting nearly 45,000 customers with their home financing needs.
