Lauren Wittig
Originating Branch Manager
My name is Lauren, and this is my 12th year in the mortgage industry. I fell in love with this business because it included my expertise of numbers, my bachelor’s degree in accounting from UMKC, and my love for people! I love helping others achieve the goal of home ownership or long-term mortgage planning. The personal connections that I make will keep me in this business forever. I work alongside some of the best in the business. I believe our team and operations group to be the most knowledgeable in the industry and we are all one big family ready and willing to help yours!
Family is the most important part of my world - my two daughters, Lotte and Maggie, keep me living life to its fullest! They have been the biggest supporters of my business endeavors and love watching their mom grow in the community. I enjoy traveling and going on adventures with them in my spare time. We are lake rats in the summer - swimming, fishing, boating, skiing, and hiking to make the most of our time together and enjoy spending time in the mountains in the winter. We hope to meet and get to know you soon!

Denise Goodlin
Customer Success Manager
With over 20 years of experience in real estate, property management, and the loan industry, I bring a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities your clients face. In September 2021, I joined my prior company as a Junior Loan Processor. Shortly after, I transitioned into the CSM role—a position that quickly became my passion. To this day, I often say, "I was born to do this job." In addition to my professional background, I bring real-world experience in various aspects of owning and protecting real estate. I’m committed to using these insights to provide valuable resources and guidance, helping clients protect their assets and plan for generations to come—all while offering peace of mind.
