The Top 250 Latino Mortgage Originators Award is an annual report by the National
Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals® (NAHREP®) that recognizes the leading
Latino mortgage originators in the U.S. as ranked by the number of mortgages they closed the
previous calendar year. NAHREP is proud to recognize these top performing individuals for
their contributions toward the association’s mission of sustainable Hispanic homeownership.
The Top 250 Mortgage Originators Award was conceived in 2014 after the continued
success of the Top 250 Latino Agents Award created a demand for recognition of success
in other parts of the industry. This year, mortgage originators from across the country
earned distinction as a Top 250 Latino Mortgage Originator from among over 500 mortgage
originators nominated for the fourth annual award.
The group of top producers represents a total of 29,338 closed mortgages and $7.39 billion
in mortgage sales. Wells Fargo topped this year’s report for the fourth consecutive year with
the most individuals recognized on the list, followed by New American Funding and Equity
Prime Mortgage. The report includes lists recognizing the Top 100 from among the non-
depository lenders nominated for the award and the Top 250 by volume.
The success of the Top 250 Latino Mortgage Originators is a demonstration of the growing
influence Latinos demonstrate in the industry both as a profession as well as in the volume of
home buyers driving the housing economy.
Felicidades to the Top 250 and their continued success! Join the conversation on social media
and recognize their achievements as well as their Top 250 Latino Agent counterparts. Share
comments using #Top250 on social media.
Methodology
The listing of the Top 250 Latino Mortgage Originators in America is compiled through a
self-nomination process reflective of transactions closed during the 2017 calendar year.
Once received, NAHREP reviews the nomination for accuracy and when necessary seeks
validation of data submitted from the respective candidate’s company. To be eligible,
nominees are required to submit their individual number of closed mortgages to be
ranked against other nominees. Nominations may be disqualified or modified where third
party validation is not available or consistent. In instances where there is a tie based on
number of mortgages closed, higher rank is given to originators with greater sales volume.
The list by volume is ranked based on total annual volume through $12,000,000. Ethnic
background is confirmed through self-attestation.
