LeaderOne Financial Corporation March 2020 LakeLeader of the Month

Owning a lake area home is a dream-come-true for more and more families every day thanks in part to our March, 2020 LakeLeader of the Month, LeaderOne Financial, a dedicated mortgage banking services company. 

It’s often been said that Cedar Creek Lake is the gateway to East Texas outdoor recreation.  The lake, built in the 1960’s by the Army Corps of Engineers, is a constant level lake and supports hundreds of lakefront and nearby area homes whose owners enjoy the benefits of full-time and weekend lakeside living.

Lake life is an abundant life on Cedar Creek Lake. Fishing, boating, outdoor recreation. There’s truly something for everyone year round. And, the allure of the Cedar Creek lake area is its proximity to DFW, only an hour and a half drive away. And with the growth of the area’s small community towns of Gun Barrel City, Mabank, Malakoff, Kemp and Seven Points, full-timers and weekenders alike have so many options for shopping, dining and great things to do! And, the work LeaderOne Financial does to support new and refinanced homeowners is invaluable for our growing lake area communities.

This dynamic mother and daughter duo bring their lake area clients the perfect mix of education, product knowledge and generations of mortgage expertise. Their seamless process will make the home buying or refinance process less complicated. Terri repeats daily – “Delivering our clients a World Class mortgage experience on time and on budget EVERYTIME is our service standard. “

Terri, a graduate of Baylor University with a BBA in accounting, has been in the real estate and mortgage lending business for over 30 years. To date, she has helped over 3000 clients with their mortgages on personal homes, second homes and investment properties. Her accounting background gives her an additional layer of expertise with complicated tax returns for self-employed borrowers. When not working to deliver the perfect mortgage experience for her clients, Terri enjoys yoga, showing world class performance horses and playing in the handbell choir at her church. She is a multiple World Champion equestrian and an active member of the First Christian Church of Rockwall for nearly 30 years. Professionally, she has been a recognized top producer in the industry for several decades.

They also visit local nursing homes for therapy with dementia patients.
