In 2007 MortgageDaily.com published a ranking of the fastest growing private mortgage companies in the United States. This list highlighted lenders that were expanding their loan originations rapidly despite the challenging credit environment. Growth was measured by year-over-year increases in production volume, market share and geographic expansion.
### Key companies
– **Lender A** – a privately held mortgage lender that expanded aggressively into wholesale and retail channels, doubling its originations.
– **Lender B** – specialized in nonprime products and posted triple-digit growth in 2006‑2007.
– **Lender C** – focused on FHA/VA lending and expanded its branch network into new states.
Other companies featured in the ranking included regional players and niche lenders that leveraged technology and marketing to capture market share.
### Drivers of growth
The report noted that rapid growth came from innovative products, aggressive marketing and expansion into underserved markets. However, it also cautioned that overly aggressive growth could lead to future performance issues as credit conditions tightened.
