Daytona Lamade

Daytona Lamade isn’t just a mortgage loan officer; she’s a Hampton Roads native dedicated to serving the community where she was born and raised. A proud graduate of Grassfield High School and Old Dominion University, with a degree in Psychology, Daytona deeply understands the local market and the unique journeys of her neighbors.

Daytona brings a strong entrepreneurial background to her work, having successfully built and managed multiple businesses, including a thriving photography brand. This experience has instilled in her a mastery of relationship building, client retention, and a savvy approach to business operations. Prior to making the switch to mortgage, Daytona was working with real estate professionals, helping grow their business with cutting-edge technology and strategic marketing.

Her move into mortgage lending is deeply personal. After a frustrating experience buying her own home in 2020, where she struggled to find a loan officer willing to assist with her specific needs, Daytona committed herself to providing a better, more inclusive service. She is passionate about ensuring every client, regardless of their loan size or financial situation, feels valued and supported at every stage in the mortgage process.

Daytona is actively laying the groundwork to serve you, coordinating with the Ben Lacey Team and bringing her expertise in automated touchpoints and database nurturing to ensure a seamless and modern client experience. When she’s not focused on helping clients achieve their homeownership goals, you can find her enjoying time with friends, thrifting, or camping.
