ABOUT DARREN COPELAND
NMLS #164545 Co.#18•••81 Awarded National Broker of the Year — Hall of AIME 2025. Recognized by AIME for leadership, production, and community impact in the mortgage broker channel. Co-Author of The Green Zone | CEO of Summit Lending | Top 1% Mortgage Originator. For over 2 decades, I’ve been helping families achieve their dream of homeownership and guiding loan officers to reach their full potential. As a Top 1% originator nationwide, I’ve built my career on one principle—always put people first. At Summit Lending, we’ve grown to become one of the fastest-growing mortgage brokerages in the country by keeping things simple: delivering solutions, providing exceptional service, and creating an environment where loan officers can thrive. Our brokerage model gives clients the advantage of shopping the best programs and rates, while empowering our loan officers with the tools, support, and culture they need to grow.Beyond leading Summit, I’m passionate about mentorship and leadership. I stay actively involved in national coaching groups, sharing strategies that help mortgage professionals grow both personally and professionally. That same passion inspired me to co-author The Green Zone—a book that helps loan officers “operate at their highest level by controlling what they can and mastering their mindsetOutside of work, I’m a proud husband and father, and a lifelong Kansas City sports fan. Each year, you’ll find me sharing the field with Royals Hall of Famers at their annual Fantasy Camp—a tradition that keeps me connected to the game I love.If you’re a loan officer looking to grow, an industry peer interested in collaboration, or simply someone who values doing business the right way, I’d love to connect.
