Freedom Mortgage Named to Inc. 5000 List

Oct 01, 2018

Freedom Mortgage has been named to the 2018 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest growing private companies in the U.S. This marks the sixth straight year that Freedom has been named to this exclusive list. With an impressive 154 percent revenue growth rate over three years, Freedom Mortgage ranks 2,716th on the list of 5,000.

By making the list for the sixth straight year, Freedom Mortgage earned a spot in the Inc. 5000 Hall of Fame and is pleased to be one of only 15 financial services companies to earn this distinction. Freedom Mortgage has more than two times the revenue of the next largest financial services company on the list.

Collectively, the companies on this year's Inc. 5000 list had $206.2 billion in revenue in 2017, up 158 percent from $79.8 billion in 2014. Companies were ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2014 to 2017. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generated revenue by March 31, 2014. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of Dec. 31, 2017.

"We are very proud of receiving this honor for the sixth straight year. It demonstrates what we achieved over a difficult period in the mortgage industry," said Stanley C. Middleman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Freedom Mortgage. "We made the decision to grow Freedom Mortgage in the downturn and this ranking demonstrates the hard work of our employees and the dedication to serving our customers and fostering home ownership. We could not have this type of growth and success without them."
