In a ranking of network lenders who compete for mortgage leads, a company operating from the Empire State maintained its top standing.
The lender ranking was determined through customer ratings and reviews from April 1 through June 30 of this year.
Mortgage firms were rated based on mortgage rates, fees and closing costs. Also factored in were lenders’ responsiveness, customer service and borrowers’ overall experiences.
Companies that were rated were among the 300 lenders in the LendingTree network.
Silver Fin Capital LLC was No. 1 on the list. The mortgage broker says it operates in four states on the East Coast.
Great Neck, N.Y.-based Silver Fin Capital was also the top-rated lender in the first quarter.
The second-best lender in the second quarter was Home Plus Mortgage. The San Diego-based company moved up from the ninth position three months earlier.
No. 3, Dallas-based PrimeLending, wasn’t even on the list in the first quarter.
Also missing from the previous report was the second quarter’s No. 4 Amerisave Mortgage Corp. out of Atlanta.
Amerisave, which says it operates in all 50 states, recently settled allegations of misleading advertising by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for nearly $21 million.
Rounding out the top five was Pacific Beneficial Mortgage Company Inc. The Irvine, Calif.-based organization moved up from sixth place in the previous quarter.
The sixth through 10th positions were held by Americash, First Federal Bank of Kansas City, Herring Bank, Guaranteed Rate Inc. and Patriot Financial Inc.
