SPRINGFIELD, MA – The Applied Mortgage Team of HMA Mortgage is proud to announce that Jessica LaMothe, Loan Partner and valued member of the Applied Mortgage team, was honored with the Rising Star Award by the Massachusetts Mortgage Bankers Association at their Award Breakfast in January. This prestigious recognition celebrates emerging leaders in the mortgage industry who demonstrate exceptional performance, dedication, and promise for continued success.

The Rising Star Award was created to recognize exceptional up-and-coming association member professionals who demonstrate outstanding leadership potential, dedication to their profession, and a strong commitment to excellence. Jessica LaMothe is truly an MVP of the Applied Mortgage Team, keeping everything running smoothly and everyone on track. She began her professional journey working alongside Nicole Laurie, Applied Mortgage Team Operations Lead, in the retail industry before being recruited into the mortgage business in 2016. In her current role, Jessica works closely with the loan origination team to guide each homebuyer from preapproval to closing and beyond. She serves as a key point of communication among all parties involved including homebuyers and homeowners, Realtors, attorneys, and insurance agents to ensure every transaction is seamless and exceeds expectations. While timely closings and clear communication are standard in the industry, they are simply Jessica’s baseline; she consistently goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional results. A Westfield native, Jessica enjoys spending her free time with friends and family when she’s not in the office.

“I’m thankful for the guidance and encouragement of my colleagues who believed in me early on and continue to do so every day. I’m excited to keep building a career rooted in integrity, innovation, and service,” said Jessica LaMothe, Loan Partner of the Applied Mortgage Team. “What we do is so important and I’m incredibly grateful to be a part of one of the biggest milestones in our customers’ lives.”
