HousingWire has named Summit Funding’s very own Executive Vice President of Sales, Robyn LaVassaur, a Woman of Influence in 2024. In a male-dominated field, this prestigious accolade highlights Robyn's extraordinary leadership, commitment, and influence within the mortgage industry.
A Leader with Vision
Robyn’s rise from a 19-year-old temporary receptionist to now the Executive Vice President of Sales at Summit Funding is truly inspiring.

Her approach has not only driven Summit Funding forward but also inspired many in the industry.
Before her role as EVP of Sales, LaVassaur was Summit Funding’s top female producer, closing 682 units in her final year of production. Today, she leads a nationwide sales force of over 200 loan officers and inspires positive change through her volunteer work and podcast, The WILD Podcast. Robyn’s success shows that with the right mindset and support, women can reach incredible heights in any field; in this case, home loans.
