The company's broker-focused tools secure a third consecutive NAMB award
The National Association of Mortgage Brokers (NAMB) has named wemlo® its Service Partner of the Year for the third year in a row. wemlo is the only company honored in the mortgage loan processing category in this year’s awards.
Wemlo has gained attention for its ability to streamline loan processing for mortgage brokers. According to company data, wemlo’s processing team averaged just over 21 days to move a loan from submission to closing in 2024, compared to the industry average of 44 days reported by ICE Mortgage Technology as of March 2024. This efficiency has enabled brokers to manage larger pipelines and improve productivity.
In 2023, wemlo added 138 new mortgage brokerages and processed nearly 1,950 loans, a 23% increase in customers and a 43% jump in clear-to-closes compared to the previous year. The company has also expanded its offerings, now supporting a wide range of loan products, including conventional, FHA, VA, USDA, jumbo, and non-QM loans, among others.
To meet growing demand, wemlo has partnered with over 30 wholesale lenders, including Windsor Mortgage and Loan Simple Wholesale, and continues to add more to its roster. Its loan processing platform is currently authorized in 47 states and Washington, DC.
