The bank was recognized for outstanding efforts in training and education, and its dedication to drive awareness of the Freddie Mac Home Possible® mortgage offering and to make the dream of homeownership a reality.

The Home Possible RISE Award® recognition for Excellence in Education was created to honor and recognize those financial institutions who strive to empower borrowers through education and promote awareness of the Freddie Mac Home Possible mortgage loan. This year’s winners were particularly commended as the pandemic weighed heavily on the mortgage loan industry, and on the country.

“I am proud of our mortgage lenders and staff for receiving this recognition,” said Samantha Brown, Heartland Bank Mortgage Sales Manager. “Our mortgage employees work diligently to assist potential homebuyers to determine what loan programs were best for their individual needs and help secure any grant funds that were available to assist them with making their dream of homeownership a reality.”
