Total Mortgage Services’ Denise Peach Named Loan Officer of the Year by Massachusetts Mortgage Bankers Association
Milford, CT , May 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Total Mortgage Services is proud to announce that loan originator Denise Peach has been named Loan Officer of the Year by the Massachusetts Mortgage Bankers Association (MMBA), the largest mortgage industry association in New England. The award was presented at the MMBA’s annual Loan Officer of the Year Award Celebration, honoring professionals whose dedication, expertise, and impact set the standard for the industry across the state.
The recognition comes at a milestone moment: Peach has now held the title of #1 MassHousing Loan Originator in Massachusetts for six consecutive years — a streak that reflects not just volume, but a sustained commitment to helping underserved buyers navigate one of the most challenging housing markets in the country.
“This award reflects everything Denise brings to her clients and to this industry every single day,” said a spokesperson for Total Mortgage Services. “She doesn’t just close loans, she opens doors for families who thought homeownership was out of reach.”

Her path into lending was not conventional. Denise Peach did not set out to become a loan officer, yet nearly three decades later, she has built a career defined by it. She began 28 years ago as a property manager while also working as a personal trainer. Eight years ago, she committed fully, opened her Leominster branch, and became a trusted expert in home loans in Massachusetts and a reliable mortgage lender in Leominster, MA.
As affordability pressures persist, Denise Peach has developed expertise in MassHousing loan programs in Massachusetts designed to reduce barriers for first-time buyers. The Down Payment Assistance program provides up to $30,000 in support across every city and town in the state. She stated, “The Down Payment Assistance program offers up to $30,000 across every city and town in the state, and those funds can often be layered with other programs, helping buyers reduce upfront costs and compete more effectively.”
Her approach is structured and direct. She guides clients through the eligibility process, reviewing credit profiles, closing documentation gaps, and preparing borrowers strategically. This approach results in a smoother experience and a higher likelihood of approval when working with a Massachusetts mortgage lender.
