LoanPeople hosted its annual Stars Over LoanPeople celebration, welcoming more than 150 guests for an evening centered on company culture, community and performance. The event brought together LoanPeople employees — known internally as “LoanPeeps” — along with guests, sponsors and vendor partners who support the company’s continued growth.

Held at Geraldine’s inside Hotel Van Zandt, the event embraced a jazz club-inspired atmosphere, with cocktail attire setting the tone for the evening. The venue provided dinner and bar service throughout the night, while live music by Gleaux added to the intimate, high-energy setting.

The evening included remarks from CEO Max Leaman and COO Jennifer Corvino, who spoke about people-first leadership, the strength of the company’s internal culture and maintaining high standards in a shifting mortgage industry. The program also highlighted individual and team achievements, with awards recognizing excellence in production and community engagement, as well as employees who exemplify LoanPeople’s core values.

Celebrating a standout year

LoanPeople’s 2025 performance provided further cause for celebration. The company reported an average year-over-year business growth of 30% among its originators, with nine originators increasing volume by more than 50%. During the year, LoanPeople and its team received multiple industry honors, including Top 1% Mortgage Originator recognition from Mortgage Executive Magazine, Top Mortgage Company and Producer awards from the Austin and San Antonio Business Journals, and several Scotsman Guide distinctions for top originators, women originators and workplace culture.

More than an awards ceremony, Stars Over LoanPeople served as a reflection of the company’s emphasis on collaboration, professional growth and community — values that continue to shape its presence in the home loan industry.
