HECM endorsements were up a whopping 73.3% in March, as AAG pushed through a bunch of endorsements ahead of being acquired by FAR.
Beyond AAG, 5 other top 10 lenders were up on the month:
- South River jumped 141.5% to 128 loans, their highest since August
- Open Mortgage grew 51.7% to 91 loans
- Mutual of Omaha rose 14.3% to 481 loans
