Abbey Tebben

Hi, I’m Abbey.

I’m a seasoned leader with over 20 years of experience in financial services, specializing in mortgage origination and process improvement. I’ve spent the last four years combining hands-on expertise with strategic enhancements to help loan officers grow their businesses and build high-performing teams. I am in the trenches working on loans and processes, whether for my own borrowers or for the loan officers that I support; I am not afraid to dig in! Whether you are a borrower looking for someone to guide you through the process, a loan officer looking for a leader to help you grow or a P&L leader looking for someone to come alongside of you and partner together to improve your outcomes and be completely transparent – I’m your gal.

As an adjunct professor and curriculum developer for over a decade as well, I’ve taught courses in communication, mathematics, and business, enriching my approach to education, coaching and collaboration. Teaching adult students from all different walks of life and age groups has allowed me to become an even better industry contributor by recognizing the need to meet each person where they are at and see them for who they are, embracing them and caring enough to invest time and effort to collaborate and help them grow. Leadership, guidance and growth initiatives should be tailored to the unique needs of borrowers, referral partners, and teams, promoting open communication, growth, and equity.

My recent work at Summit Mortgage includes developing business intelligence tools for loan officers, revamping some internal resources to make them more accessible to loan officers, creating innovative recruiting and coaching strategies, working closely with the leaders of each department to streamline communications, as well as serving as a liaison between sales and every department in the organization to ensure every voice is heard.

Outside of work, I enjoy family time, supporting my kids’ sports, spending time with my four grandbabies, traveling, fishing, playing cribbage with my husband, and being a tourist in my own city.
