“To successfully navigate today’s homebuying markets, homebuyers and real estate professionals look for mortgage partners who can provide deep local expertise and industry knowledge,” said loanDepot Executive Vice President John Bianchi. “Nancy is well known for her success building highly productive teams in the Colorado, Wyoming, Arizona, Utah and New Mexico markets. Equally important, she emphasizes her teams’ growth and development based on the core values of integrity, respect, and accountability, which perfectly align with our company culture. I am tremendously excited to have Nancy join us and take our Colorado and Wyoming teams even further.”

Colorado, with the sixth-fastest percentage rate of growth in the US, is an important market for loanDepot. The state’s population grew by 19.25 percent from 2010 to 2023, and it has added approximately 1.55 million residents since 2000¹. Wyoming is an emerging market, traditionally underserved by independent mortgage banks, that will benefit from the leadership of top local talent.

Over the course of her career, Smith has held sales leadership roles at companies like Bank of America, MetLife Home Loans, Caliber Home Loans and Homeowners Financial Group. She has a long track record in the Mountain States region and brings both strong relationships and extensive experience in building successful partnerships with local real estate companies and financial institutions.

“There is no one better to help us serve the needs of our Colorado and Wyoming teams,” said LDI Mortgage President Jeff Walsh. “Not only is Nancy a proven partner who will help our originators further hone their skills and expand their reach, we’re confident her impressive leadership will attract other top producers in the region.”
