Certainty Home Lending Expands Spanish-Speaking Market Presence With Multiple Hires

Certainty Home Lending has added Miguel Hawkins as Senior Vice President, Emerging Markets and Ivan Ramirez and Midelvia Chavez as Vice Presidents of Mortgage Lending in the Atlanta metro area. The national lender has also added Elvira Rodriguez as Producing Branch Manager in its Las Vegas region. The appointments reflect Certainty’s continued commitment to serving Spanish-speaking markets with the same level of excellence and personalized guidance it provides to all borrowers.

Hawkins has served clients in the mortgage industry for 20 years and has 40 years of cumulative customer service experience. He was been a top producer serving Spanish-speaking American communities with multiple national mortgage lending companies. He further specializes in assisting Spanish-speaking borrowers in communities lacking a large Hispanic presence.

“When you talk to Miguel, you understand pretty quickly why he’s been so successful,” said Franco Terango, CEO, Certainty Home Lending. “He genuinely connects with the borrowers he serves, and that trust means everything in this business. We’re proud to have him at Certainty, and we think the families he helps here will feel that difference from day one.”

With more than 20 years of business development and team leadership experience, Ramirez joins Certainty after serving with a leading mortgage lending company in the southeast, where he earned Top Rookie of the Year honors and membership in the President’s Club.

“Ivan is a true connector. His ability to find the positive in any situation, to solve problems and, most of all, to bring people from all backgrounds and in all positions together for optimal results is what puts him in the company of the industry’s top producers who have been driving our recent growth and success.” said Terango.

Terango added that Chavez and Rodriguez also bring extensive experience serving Spanish-speaking communities and share a consistent history of putting clients first.

“Midelvia and Elvira are a perfect fit with the Certainty mission of serving first as financial advisors, working to inspire client confidence during what may well be the largest transactions of their lives. We’re proud to welcome each of them to the team and look forward to the impact they’ll have in their markets,” he said.

The announcements follow on the heels of the lender’s April unveiling of its complete Spanish language digital mortgage experience, giving Spanish-speaking borrowers the ability to review all key loan documents in Spanish and complete the entire mortgage application in Spanish with the click of a single button. The feature instantly switches the application interface from English to Spanish, removing a barrier that has historically made the homebuying process more difficult for millions of families.
