New American Funding has been ranked as one of the top mortgage lenders in Scotsman Guide’s for the 9th consecutive year. Scotsman Guide, the leading source for mortgage originators, creates its annual listing based on verified 2020 loan data from the nation’s top mortgage companies. In 2020, New American Funding ranked #7 in Retail Volume, and increased its rank in Overall Volume to #13 compared to #17 a year earlier.
