SAN DIEGO – Guild Mortgage, one of the largest independent mortgage lenders in the U.S., has been named as a 2016 Top 100 Mortgage Company by Mortgage Executive Magazine.

Appearing in the magazine’s Spring 2017 edition, the ranking features the nation’s top 100 closely held mortgage companies and publicly traded banks based on total yearly mortgage volume. Guild was ranked No. 11 with a record loan volume of $15.9 billion in 2016. The company closed 69,895 loans for the year.

“We are always looking to open doors to potential first-time homebuyers and to give other homeowners more choices. Our entrepreneurial energy and  the expertise of our loan professionals has fueled our growth,” said Mary Ann McGarry, Guild’s president and CEO. “We are honored to be included among so many other growing mortgage companies on Mortgage Executive’s list.”
