Sarah Middleton has joined mortgage lender Supreme Lending as chief growth officer and chief marketing officer.
Middleton has more than 36 years of experience in mortgage leadership, growth strategy, and sales development. She is widely regarded as one of the industry’s most accomplished and respected executives, the lender says in a release.
Prior to joining Supreme Lending, Middleton served as chief growth officer at Movement Mortgage, where she led national initiatives across sales growth, the reverse mortgage division, coaching, onboarding and training, the diversity and VA initiative, recruiting, and product expansion.
She previously held the role of president of sales at Fairway Independent Mortgage and served as founder and CEO of Fairway Ignite, the company’s internal coaching platform.
Earlier in her career, she held a regional leadership role at Guild Mortgage, where she grew production from $0 to over $2 billion in annual volume.
As an originator, Middleton set records in Colorado, closing over $2 billion in volume in personal production and 11,700 units. Her record still stands today.
“Sarah brings the kind of energy, vision, and heart that doesn’t come around often,” says Scott Everett, president and CEO of Supreme Lending, in the release. “She’s a doer, a builder, and most importantly—she leads by enriching the lives of everyone around her.”
“Supreme has always been a company that prides itself in keeping a low profile and just doing ‘what’s right,’” Everett adds. “We’ve been the best-kept secret in the mortgage space — and with Sarah here, we’re about to tell that story a whole lot louder. As always, we will continue to do what’s right and in the best interest of all our employees, but it’s time we let the mortgage world know about Supreme.”
“What makes Supreme different is the people. Humble, wildly talented, and genuinely others-focused,” says Middleton. “This isn’t just a mortgage company—it’s a place that feels like home. It’s the best-kept secret in the industry, and I can’t wait to help more people experience what makes it so special. The secret is out!”
In her new role, Middleton will lead Supreme Lending’s growth strategy, national recruiting efforts, marketing direction, and brand elevation across all platforms. Her focus is on building high-performing teams, driving visibility, and creating the resources and tools that empower Supreme’s loan officers to thrive.
