Revealed: The US's 5-Star wholesale lenders

Wholesale lenders are providing an essential service to originators and their customers across the US mortgage space – and we can exclusively reveal the leading companies in that sector.

Now available to view, MPA has released its Five-Star Wholesale Lenders report for 2025, following an extensive survey of readers.

We invited brokers to rate their preferred lenders in two different categories. Wholesale and non-QM lenders were evaluated across six key criteria: interest rates, turnaround time, customer service, loan programs, technology, and training.

Brokers gave companies a ranking out of five in each criterion – with lenders that achieved an average score of 4.0 or higher recognized as 5-Star Wholesale Lenders.

The survey revealed some intriguing insights: for instance, 67% of brokers said they worked with three to five lenders per year, with 30% using six to 10 and just 3% of brokers working with more than 10.

Mortgage industry veterans were also to the fore in the survey. Seventy-three percent (73%) of respondents had been originating loans for more than 10 years, with a further 20% originating for between four and seven years. Three percent (3%) had been originating loans for between one and three years, with 4% originating for less than one year.
