The 2016 countdown of the National Mortgage News Top Producers list continues by featuring the loan officers ranked 151 to 180.
Originators who submitted data for this survey represent the entire spectrum of lender shops, from banks and credit unions to mortgage bankers and mortgage brokerages, and their titles range from loan officer all the way to company president.
Despite a volatile interest rate and regulatory environment, these loan officers thrived in 2015. The market shift back to purchase lending has the potential to bring loan officers an uptick in volume dollars and the number of loans closed throughout 2016.
The 2016 Top Producer rankings countdown will continue until the top 10 loan officers are revealed on March 15 and the entire list is published in a special section of the print edition of National Mortgage News.
