About Summit Lending: The Mortgage Broker That Works for You - Not the Bank

Whether you’re buying your first home or refinancing your fifth, navigating the mortgage world alone can feel overwhelming. That's why Summit Lending exists - to help you win the home loan game with confidence, clarity, and a partner you trust.

We're not a bank. We’re a fully independent mortgage brokerage based in [Kansas City or your market], giving you access to a wide network of lenders - from big banks to credit unions to private capital sources. That means we work exclusively for you, not for any one institution.

Our team tailors every mortgage solution to fit your goals - whether you’re purchasing a new home, refinancing to save money, or investing in property. You'll get better options, faster approvals, and smarter strategies, all without having to shop multiple lenders yourself.

💼 Meet Darren “D.C.” Copeland - Founder & CEO

Darren Copeland leads Summit Lending with over 22 years of experience in the mortgage industry and ranks in the top 1% of loan originators nationwide. But more than that, he’s built Summit Lending on a belief that “Success is never a solo act.”

That mindset has shaped a culture of coaching, collaboration, and celebration. We don't just throw loan officers into the deep end - we equip them with systems, strategy, and support so they can serve you at the highest level.

"We measure our success by the success of our clients and our people. When one of us wins, everyone wins." - Darren Copeland
