The loan officer who originated the most volume last year reported more than a quarter billion dollars in mortgage production. But he closed around half as many loans as the top producer in 2010.
Christopher Vincent Hussain reported that he closed 653 loans for $253.7 million during 2011.
That was more than any of the other 800 top producers surveyed by Scotsman Guide for the 2011 ranking.
Hussain’s volume increased from 590 loans for $195.1 million in 2010.
However, the prior year’s champion, Daniel Milstein, apparently didn’t participate in the latest survey. Milstein took the title in 2010 with 1,209 mortgages closed for $385.5 million.
Hussain, who works for WeFit2U Inc. in California, originated as a mortgage broker and as a mortgage banker — but without any staff. He said that three-quarters of his business was purchase financing.
Kevin Lyons of Anchor Funding reported 651 loans originated for $211.0 million during 2011, landing him in the No. 2 spot. Lyons, who also originates in California, was the No. 5 originator in the previous report.
After Lyons was Emery Financial’s Shelly Logemann with 381 mortgages funded for $205.9 million.
Harinder Johar of Guaranteed Rate followed with 637 units closed for $204.0 million, then Brad Cohen’s 495 mortgages closed through Capital Bank for $199.7 million.
