When doing these surveys over the years a common comment we receive is that they reward those who have high unpaid principal balance totals because they get their loans from areas with elevated home prices.

To recognize those who do plenty of business, but whose results are not seen in the dollar totals, National Mortgage News presents the Top 50 mortgage originators by number of loans produced.

Benn Jackson, an account executive at non-qualified mortgage wholesaler Constructive Capital was No. 1, with 1,884 units produced on $317.4 million of volume, while co-worker Kyle Concannon ranked third at 846 loans produced for a $214.2 million total.

In the No. 2 spot is overall Top Producer, from Rate, Shant Banosian, with 1,548 units for $1.03 billion.

Meanwhile, the originator who did the most units but whose UPB was under $100 million was Sean Park of Rocket Mortgage, who did 548 loans for a total of $79.8 million.

Daniel Halvorsen of LoanPeople had the 18th most units produced by participants, at 362.

"Continuing to provide value to our partners, find creative products to get more customers funded, and creatively market to our agent team," is how he plans to market to purchase customers in 2026, Halvorsen said in response to a question on the survey.

Visio Financial Services is a non-qualified mortgage lender with multiple representatives among the Top Producers. John Sperling, a senior account executive, had the highest number of loans produced by those submitters, at 318.

For his purchase business in 2026, he will maintain his focus on the non-owner occupied business. "Investors tend to never stop buying, we'll keep a close eye on valuations and make sure they are realistic," Sperling said.

The Top Producers survey has been in existence for 28 years and is the successor to those conducted by Broker magazine and Origination News (former National Mortgage News sister publications) as well as Mortgage Originator Magazine, which Arizent owns the content rights to.

Submissions were made by the participants or their representatives. The information was verified to the best of our ability but National Mortgage News cannot claim the absolute veracity of the data. Some entries might have been removed due to submission errors or following the check on the data.
