“Sarah brings the kind of energy, vision, and heart that doesn’t come around often,” said Scott Everett, president and CEO of Supreme Lending. “She’s a doer, a builder, and most importantly—she leads by enriching the lives of everyone around her.”

Middleton most recently served as chief growth officer at Movement Mortgage, where she led national initiatives across sales, reverse mortgage, onboarding, coaching, recruiting, and product expansion. She also spent time at Fairway Independent Mortgage as president of sales and later created its internal coaching platform, Fairway Ignite.

Middleton is no stranger to scaling operations. At Guild Mortgage, she helped drive production from zero to more than $2 billion annually. In Colorado, her personal origination volume still holds a record of $2 billion across 11,700 units.
