We’re proud to share that Ashley McKenzie-Sharpe, Senior Loan Officer with Highlands Residential Mortgage, has been recognized as the Mortgage Banker of the Year for the Carolinas by the Mortgage Bankers Association of the Carolinas (MBAC).
Each year, the MBAC honors a mortgage professional who goes above and beyond for their clients and the industry. Ashley’s deep expertise, tireless work ethic, and genuine care for others have made her a trusted name in the Carolinas and a leader within Highlands.
“Ashley represents what it means to lead with excellence,” said Corey Caster, EVP, Chief Production Officer. “Her drive, professionalism, and heart for serving others make Highlands proud. This award is a true reflection of who she is and the difference she continues to make for her clients and community.”
“I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Ashley for years, and I can tell you no one cares more about their clients or their team,” said Tripp Cunningham, Regional Sales Manager of the East Region. “She’s the real deal. What you see is what you get: genuine, hardworking, and all heart. I couldn’t be prouder to see her recognized for the biggest honor in North Carolina and South Carolina.”
Ashley has built her career on helping families feel confident in their homebuying journey. Earlier this year, she also earned a Top 10 Nationwide ranking for Customer Satisfaction on the Experience.com platform – an honor based entirely on verified client and Realtor feedback.
Her recognition continues a strong legacy of Highlands winners in the Carolinas, reflecting the company’s ongoing commitment to excellence and the people who raise the bar year after year.
Congratulations, Ashley, on this well-earned honor!
