Colorado, June 8, 2020 – Gateway Mortgage Group, a division of Gateway First Bank, announced it has opened three new mortgage centers in Colorado to meet increased demand from local communities for home financing. The new openings in Firestone, Greeley North, and Loveland bring the Colorado footprint to centers in six communities in the state and more than 150 mortgage centers across the United States. Gateway also has mortgage centers in Cortez, Greenwood Village, and Westminster.

“We look forward to building strong relationships within the real estate community with the goal of providing world-class customer service and a smooth transaction for all parties, including the buyers, sellers, agents, builders, and title,” said Steve Romero, Area Manager. “We are very excited to see our continued growth in the Colorado market by adding three new locations.”

With an increased number of homeowners refinancing and taking advantage of lower interest rates, the Colorado housing market is doing well. “Gateway continues to grow to meet the increasing demand for mortgage services,” said Scott Gesell, CEO of Gateway. “We are committed to the Colorado families and communities we serve. Our momentum is a testament to our team members’ persistent focus on the customer.”

Gateway has seen record-breaking volume since 2019 and funded over $1 billion in residential mortgage loans in both April and May 2020. Hitting a new record high of $1 billion in a month for funding came just after the company celebrated the 20th anniversary and in the height of the COVID-10 pandemic. Gateway has originated more than $4.3 billion in mortgage loans year-to-date through May, putting the company on track to potentially surpass its record-breaking year of $7.7 billion funded loans in 2019.
