2021 MN Housing Platinum Lenders
Two Home Federal Mortgage Lenders Named Top Peforming Loan Officers
Kim Novotny and Pam Bleifus were named Top Producing Loan Officers by Minnesota Housing at the Platinum Level for their Single Family homeownership program loan production volume during 2021.
Housing is a foundation for success, and Minnesota Housing participating lenders and our Top Producers are committed to helping homebuyers build equity and wealth through successful homeownership so that all Minnesotans live in a stable, safe home they can afford in a community of their choice.
Minnesota Housing supports and strengthens homeownership by working with local loan officers like Novotny and Bleifus to provide affordable homebuyer loans. Minnesota Housing is committed to “Going big so all Minnesotans can go home.” In 2021 our participating lenders originated nearly 5,800 home mortgage loans for more than $1.29 billion statewide. First-time and repeat homebuyers can access programs with fixed interest rates and downpayment and closing cost loans up to $17,000. More information and eligibility requirements are available at www.mnhousing.gov. In addition to homebuyer loans, Minnesota Housing also provides home improvement loans through participating lenders and finances single-family and multifamily housing across the state.
The Minnesota Housing Top Producing Loan Officer Program has been recognizing individual loan officers with the highest volume of Minnesota Housing program loans for more than a decade. Loan officers from the participating lender network who meet regional production volume thresholds are recognized at one of three levels: Platinum, Gold and Silver.
“We applaud these Top Producing Loan Officers for their successful efforts to helping a record number of Minnesota families realize the dream of homeownership,” said Minnesota Housing Commissioner Jennifer Leimaile Ho.

The Minnesota Housing Top Producing Loan Officer Program recognizes individual loan officers based solely on the number of Minnesota Housing first-time homebuyer loans produced in one of the designated regions for the program on an annual basis. Designations are not intended as a formal referral or preference for individual loan officers and no financial or other measurable benefit is intended to be granted to loan officers on a preferential basis.
