FRANKFORT – Humble. Knowledgeable. Caring. Respected. A true servant-leader. That is how both the nominating committee and those in the mortgage lending industry would characterize Darrell Overstreet, the winner of the inaugural Darrell Overstreet Homeownership Award at the 2025 Kentucky Affordable Housing Conference, held last week at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center in Covington.
Overstreet retired July 31 from Stockton Mortgage after 40 years of helping families achieve their dream of homeownership.
He was one of Kentucky Housing Corporation’s top producing loan originators 15 of the last 20 years, KHC’s top producing loan officer in the state six times, top guaranteed loan originator for USDA Rural Development in Kentucky twice, and Columbia/Adair County Chamber of Commerce's Outstanding Business Professional Man of the Year in 2011.
He served as past president of the Kentucky Manufactured Housing Institute and at-large member of the Kentucky Housing Policy Advisory Committee.
To honor his many accomplishments, KHC created the Darrell Overstreet Homeownership Award, which will recognize a lender or real estate agent whose commitment to connecting homebuyers to affordable housing options has distinguished them in their field. Recipients embrace Darrell’s philosophy of meeting their clients where they are and finding new ways to help people achieve the dream of homeownership.
