14 Movement Loan Officers Named to NAHREP's 2026 Latino Mortgage Originator Rankings
We're celebrating 14 Movement Mortgage loan officers who earned recognition in the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals' (NAHREP) 2026 Latino Mortgage Originator Rankings — one of the most respected honors in the mortgage industry.
Three of our loan officers earned spots on NAHREP's national Top 250 list, which ranks the highest-producing Latino mortgage professionals in the country by transaction count:
- Maria Cervantes, Greensboro, NC — #129 nationally
- George Vrban, Jacksonville Beach, FL — #166 nationally
- Renato Paz, Indian Land, SC — #233 nationally

Latino Homeownership Is at an All-Time High
According to NAHREP's 2025 State of Hispanic Homeownership Report, Latinos added 441,000 net new homeowner households last year, reaching 10.2 million Hispanic homeowners nationwide. That's the largest single-year gain on record — and it accounted for all net U.S. homeownership growth in 2025.
The loan officers serving these communities are a big part of that story. Across all 660 professionals recognized in NAHREP's 2026 report, honorees collectively closed more than 68,900 transactions and $25.6 billion in funded loan volume, significantly outpacing overall mortgage market growth.
At Movement, we believe homeownership changes lives. The loan officers recognized in this year's NAHREP rankings embody that belief every day — showing up for their borrowers, their communities, and the families working toward long-term financial stability. We're proud of each of them.
