Supreme Lending brings on $100M Lasso Lending team

"Branch manager Austin Baker and his Houston-based team, Lasso Lending, have joined Supreme Lending, bringing more than $100 million in annual loan production to Supreme's platform. The move deepens Supreme Lending's presence in the Houston metropolitan area, one of the nation's most active and competitive housing markets, according to the company's announcement."

"Over the past several years, his 10-person team has scaled to more than $100 million in annual loan production through multiple market cycles while maintaining a strong client satisfaction record. The group, previously operating as Bonck & Baker Mortgage Group, rebranded earlier this year to Lasso Lending to emphasize a more team-driven, client-focused identity."

"From the beginning, our goal was to build a team that could handle any loan scenario and make it feel simple for the client, Baker said in a statement. We've grown by focusing on our process, our products, our speed, and ultimately, by treating our clients the way we would want to be treated if we were in their shoes. Partnering with Supreme gives us the scale, support, and product depth to take all of that to the next level."

"The team brings experience across purchase, new construction, refinance, jumbo and complex self-employed borrower scenarios. Baker said the decision to change platforms came as his former business partner, Jonathan Bonck, decided to run for Congress, prompting a broader review of long-term strategy and alignment. When my business partner, Jonathan Bonck, made the decision to run for U.S. Congress, we started considering a platform shift."
