Mortgage Lending · Denver, Colorado

The Gratitude Group

The mortgage lending company behind The Élevé Collective — a separate team, built to work alongside your agents.

Powered by Barrett Financial Group, L.L.C. · NMLS #181106

Wholesale lending, done with gratitude.

The Gratitude Group is an independent mortgage lending company. We aren't tied to one bank's rates or rules — we shop 300+ lending partners on your behalf, so you get the program and pricing that fit your situation, not the one that fits ours.

Vicki Howard and LaTasha Goins originate loans through The Gratitude Group and also hold real estate licenses with The Élevé Collective. That's why our lending team is already on the same side of the table as your agents — one plan from the offer to the closing table, with no surprises in between.

Loan programs

Zero-down financing for eligible veterans, active-duty service members, and surviving spouses.

USDA

No-down-payment loans for eligible homes in qualifying rural and suburban areas.

Renovation & Jumbo

Financing for homes that need work, and for purchases above conforming loan limits.

CHFA and local Colorado programs that help cover the upfront costs of buying.

How it works

From application to keys.


  1. Get qualified

    A short online application takes about 10 minutes.

  2. Strategy call

    We review your numbers together and map out your price range, monthly payment, and any assistance you qualify for.

  3. Shop with confidence

    You'll go under contract with a pre-approval that listing agents take seriously.

  4. Close

    We stay with you from contract to keys — and after.

Get qualified

Choose your lender.

Both applications go through the same secure portal. Pick whoever you'd like to work with — you'll have the whole collective behind you either way.
