HECM endorsements jumped 32.9% in January, with a huge 56.1% growth in Wholesale tempered somewhat by Retail’s still impressive 16% increase.

  • Liberty tripled, rising 211.1% to 840 loans
  • Longbridge increased 88.8% to 355 loans
  • Nationwide Equities grew 76% to 132 loans on the month

Don’t forget to check out the rankings on page 3 (trailing twelve months with channel splits) and page 4 (single month retail only). If your company is not an FHA approved lender, these are the only industry rankings where you’ll appear!
