Ten mortgage firms have been identified as the best at what they do among a network of home lenders that bid for borrowers.
The ranking was based on weighted-average customer reviews of the companies as well as the volume of reviews.
Borrowers rated their lenders based on interest rates, fees and closing costs. Also factored in were responsiveness, customer service and overall experience.
The list was announced Monday by LendingTree based on its own lender network. The reviews were completed between Jan. 1 and March 31.
At the top of the list was Silver Fin Capital LLC. The mortgage broker is based in Great Neck, N.Y., though it claims to also operate in Connecticut, Florida and New Jersey.
No. 2 was Americash.
The next mortgage company on the list was First Choice Lending Services LLC out of Knoxville, Tenn.
After that was Encompass Lending Group LP out of the Houston area.
Fifth on the list was Capital Funding Mortgage Associates Inc., which is based in Tampa, Fla. Capital Funding claims to use the most advanced mortgage technology available.
Sixth through 10th were Pacific Beneficial, Midwest Mortgage Capital, Proficio Bank, Home Plus Mortgage and Reliance First Capital.
