NEXA Lending, the nation’s largest mortgage brokerage, is proud to announce the appointment of Susie Cheatham as National Sales Director. Cheatham brings an extensive background in mortgage sales leadership, regional expansion, recruiting and professional development, adding a valuable perspective to NEXA’s growing national leadership team.

Having spent much of her career in the independent mortgage banking (IMB) sector, Cheatham’s decision to join NEXA reflects her belief in the evolving needs of mortgage professionals, the importance of entrepreneurship and the opportunity to build sustainable businesses through the independent broker channel.

“We’re not interested in simply growing for the sake of growing. We’re building an organization where the best mortgage professionals in the country have the opportunity to achieve more than they ever thought possible,” said Mike Kortas, Founder of NEXA. “Susie has spent her career proving that she knows how to build teams, develop talent, and drive production at scale. Bringing someone with her experience and leadership into NEXA speaks to where we’re going as a company. We want the best people in this industry, and we want to give them a platform where there’s no ceiling on what they can accomplish.”

Cheatham began her mortgage career as a loan originator before transitioning into leadership, where she quickly developed a reputation for building strong teams and identifying untapped opportunities for growth.

During her tenure at Bay Equity, she progressed from managing a small Kansas City branch to overseeing a regional organization that ranked among the company’s top three in both units and volume.
