“Samantha is an expert in her field, with vast knowledge of every facet of mortgage lending – an unheard-of proposition given complicated lending requirements and regulations,” says Keith Canter, CEO of First Community Mortgage and one of the company’s founders. “She also is a thoughtful and nurturing leader, empowering her team members to maximize both their success and that of our customers. Managing risk and compliance for one of the largest lenders is a momentous responsibility, and Samantha is always up to the challenge. Thus, it’s no surprise she is the recipient of this prestigious recognition.”

Vanguards are selected from among executives who have led their organizations to unparalleled success, like expanding products, services and profits in the past twelve months.

“We are proud to recognize the 2021 Vanguard winners, who represent the industry's most impressive leaders, says HousingWire Editor and Chief Sarah Wheeler. “They are leading through an incredible time for those in the housing market — whether real estate, mortgage or fintech — and driving one of the largest sectors of our economy.”

Meyer, an FCM team member for 16 years, has managed nearly every operational department in the company. She became the first female on the Board of Directors for First Community Mortgage (2019) and has served as Vice President of FCM Cares (foundation) since its inception in 2016. Canter notes that, during the pandemic, Meyer “did not skip a beat” and provided ways to ensure her department had everything it needed to run smoothly, efficiently and safely. Over the last year, production nearly doubled for First Community Mortgage, yet business was “as usual,” with Meyer providing extra training sessions, always making herself available.

In March of 2021, FCM acquired A Mortgage Boutique, which Meyer headed up with her team from a compliance and licensing standpoint to ensure everyone was covered for Risk.
