The Lenders One Power of Partnership improves the efficiency, productivity, and profitability of each one of our Members.
Lenders One was founded in September 2000 with a single Member and a mission to build the most successful cooperative of mortgage bankers in the United States. Today, Lenders One is not only the leading alliance of independent mortgage banking companies, but is also the third largest mortgage originator in the United States. We represent a wide variety of companies, with billions of dollars in annual mortgage volume.
The Lenders One platform provides extensive benefits to our Members in the secondary marketing arena, as well as multiple opportunities to realize operating efficiency with more than 20 partner companies in our National Programs platform. In 2008, a robust loan officer productivity platform was added to help Members maximize origination through the use of technology, training and best practice sales strategies.
With each new Member, the Lenders One alliance becomes stronger, and the benefits to current and potential Members grow larger. Lenders One's membership has grown almost 800 percent since 2001, and is continuing to grow as more and more mortgage bankers realize the tremendous value of becoming a part of the Lenders One family.
In 2009, the leadership of Lenders One identified a need for more visible representation for community and independent mortgage bankers in the national legislative arena. The Community Mortgage Lenders of America (CML America) was formed to ensure the perspective of community lenders was represented in Washington.
In 2010, Lenders One celebrated its 10th anniversary and its 175th Member. With new Member Benefits and programs in development, our Members are ready for the next 10 years and beyond. We hope you’ll join us.
