Zach Smith of City Mortgage Group Wins Freddie Mac "RISE" Award

    VICTORIA, TX, September 15, 2020 /24-7PressRelease/ -- In the current mortgage lending environment, it can be difficult, if not impossible, for many low- to moderate-income individuals to realize their homeownership dreams. The American dream, for many Americans, can seem far out of reach in the current climate of a contracting economy and an unemployment rate not seen in generations.

That makes the achievements of Zach Smith of City Mortgage Group all the more remarkable, who recently won Freddie Mac's prestigious RISE Award. The RISE (Recognizing Individuals for Sustained Excellence) Award is given to mortgage originators who are top performers in helping low- and moderate-income borrowers to become homeowners through its HomePossible® product. City Mortgage Group, through its affiliation with Weststar Mortgage Corporation, offers a dedicated team of mortgage professionals ready to offer the best products, the best services, and a deep bench of operational and technological support—all of which come together to ensure that more potential homeowners have access to the same high level of service.

Smith has spent half his life, beginning at the age of 16, in the mortgage industry—starting out as a processor in high school at his father's mortgage branch before becoming a mortgage originator after graduation. Sitting down to describe his 16 years in the industry in light of the RISE award, he noted, "Helping families achieve homeownership is in my blood. I don't care about the cost of the home; I care about how many families I can help achieve the dream of homeownership. There's no better feeling than seeing my clients receive the keys to their new home. HomePossible is the name of the program, and homeownership for everyone is my goal."

HomePossible allows for a reduced down payment for low- to medium-income individuals to get into a home that might otherwise not be possible. The success that Smith and City Mortgage Group have experienced demonstrate their dedication to help more Americans realize their homeownership dreams.
