Good afternoon —
We knew, of course, that origination volume was bananas — BANANAS — last year, leading to huge growth for mortgage lenders. Now, with the Inc. 5000 out this week, we get to see exactly what some private companies did in 2020, from lenders to title companies to fintech.
A quick look at some of the companies in our space and where they landed on the list:
#49 OJO Labs — 6,767% growth
#101 Sales Boomerang — 3,882% growth
#114 Notarize — 3,645% growth
#169 NXT Mortgage Company — 2,496% growth
#192 Simplify Home Loans — 2,225% growth
#369 Knock — 1,307% growth
#502 Princeton Mortgage Corp. — 969% growth
#541 Ashby & Graff Real Estate — 886% growth
#568 EasyKnock — 848% growth
#1014 Total Expert — 475% growth
#1117 SimpleNexus — 433% growth
#1178 Toorak Capital Partners — 411% growth
#1244 ROC Title — 387% growth
#1401 First Guaranty Mortgage Corp. — 339% growth
#1444 FormFree — 327% growth
#2009 American Financial Network — 202% growth
#2070 LBA Ware — 213% growth
#2145 New American Funding — 202% growth
#4393 Nationwide Title Clearing — 63% growth
The list always favors newer entrants over legacy players — growing is easier when you're starting out, after all. But it's still an interesting list and one we'll be mining for some great content, so keep an eye out for that!
In the meantime, if you made the Inc. 5000 and you are not listed above, shoot me an email at swheeler@housingwire.com. There are a lot of companies to wade through and depending on how your company is categorized, I might have missed it.
Until tomorrow —
