Standard Mortgage is strengthening its commitment to the Dallas housing market with the addition of JD Hager and Sawyer Lake to its team of mortgage professionals.
As the Dallas area continues to attract new residents, growing families, and professionals relocating for work, Standard Mortgage is expanding its local team to provide borrowers with experienced guidance and a more personal lending experience.
JD brings more than 11 years of experience in the mortgage industry and a long-standing commitment to helping clients achieve their homeownership goals. Throughout his career, he has built his approach around clear communication, dependable service, and putting clients first. Whether helping a first-time buyer purchase a home, guiding a growing family through their next move, or assisting a homeowner with refinancing, JD is committed to making the lending process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
“I believe every client deserves exceptional service and a mortgage advisor they can trust,” said JD. “Buying or refinancing a home is a major financial decision, and I want clients to feel informed and confident at every step.”
Sawyer, a Dallas native, joins Standard Mortgage with a passion for helping clients make clear, well-informed financial decisions. His approach is rooted in responsiveness, transparency, and relationship building. Since entering the mortgage industry in 2023, he has focused on creating a mortgage experience that feels personalized rather than transactional.
“Helping people finance a home is about much more than paperwork and loan terms,” said Sawyer. “It is about earning trust, understanding each client’s goals, and helping them move forward with confidence.”
“Adding talented professionals who know and care about the Dallas community is an important part of our growth strategy,” said Gordy Bright, Senior Vice President of Standard Mortgage. “JD and Sawyer will help us continue providing the responsive, relationship-based service Standard Mortgage is known for.”
Founded in 1925 and family-owned since 1964, Standard Mortgage has grown from a single office in New Orleans to a respected regional mortgage provider serving customers across the South. With more than a century of experience, the company combines deep industry knowledge with personal attention and trusted guidance to help customers navigate the lending process with confidence.
