KEY TAKEAWAYS
  • Ohio-based mortgage lender now has more than 100 branches nationwide.

Ohio-based Nations Lending, a national full-service mortgage lender, announced Tuesday its continued investment and expansion in Texas with the addition of a new Highland Village branch. The company also said it hired Clayton Cummings, an industry veteran with both loan officer and branch management experience, to lead the new branch.

Cummings comes to Nations Lending from Academy Mortgage Corporation, where he spent the last eight years serving as a local branch manager. He is a long-time Dallas-Forth Worth resident, priding himself on his ability to assist the community with both new home purchases and refinances. Throughout his tenure, Cummings has been recognized as a top mortgage lender in the area, racking up numerous industry awards, including those honoring top producers.

"Two things really drew me to Nations and made it stand out in this landscape," Cummings said. "First, the support it offers its branches and loan officers from a marketing standpoint is unparalleled and a rarity within the larger marketplace. But they also jump through hoops to ensure that same amazing level of in-house support also translates externally to our customers. The company really makes it a priority to streamline everything from the application process right on through to underwriting, processing, and closing. They get it done, and they get it done on time."

Over the past few years, Nations has focused on and invested in Texas. In the Dallas-Forth Worth metropolitan area alone, the company now supports branches in Flower Mound, Frisco, Plano, Sulphur Springs, and Dallas proper.

"There's no question we see great things on the horizon for our Texas branches and the state as a whole," said Randy Koerner, Divisional Manager at Nations Lending.

Nations Lending Corp. is one of the fastest-growing mortgage lenders in the U.S. Headquartered in the Cleveland area, it is licensed to lend in all 50 states and employs more than 1,000, combined, at its corporate headquarters and throughout more than 100 branches nationwide.
