TULSA, Okla., May 03, 2024–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Gateway Mortgage, a division of Gateway First Bank, is proud to announce that it has been named to the Top 50 Mortgage Companies in America 2023, published by Mortgage Executive Magazine. Gateway ranks number 30 based on total yearly mortgage volume. This list is considered one of the most comprehensive lists of the nation’s top 100 closely held mortgage companies and publicly traded banks, ranked by their total yearly mortgage volume. Mortgage Executive Magazine seeks to recognize and celebrate the service, dedication, and hard work that mortgage originators, managers, and executives put into building their companies and serving their clients.
“Top Mortgage Originators are gaining market share and growing production just as their competition leaves the mortgage business,” states the magazine. “This past decade has been turbulent in the mortgage industry. More than 70 percent of the mortgage competition has been swept away during this time of change. For many of the nation’s top producers, the consumer’s “flight to quality” has created a unique opportunity to grow market share in both purchase and refinance mortgages.”
In addition to the company’s rankings, 15 of Gateway’s mortgage loan originators were included on the magazine’s list of Top 1% Mortgage Originators in America 2023. Each originator is ranked by their yearly mortgage volume, which cannot include the loan volume of associate originators or junior originators who earn a commission on the same loan files.
Gateway is excited to recognize the following team members for their hard work last year:
Josh Allyn, Houston, TX |
Jack Little, Bluffton, SC |
Letty Alvineda, Bay City, TX |
Michael McElroy, Ada, OK |
