LINTHICUM, MD, August 10, 2023 – NFM Lending is proud to congratulate its loan originators who have been named to Scotsman Guide’s 2023 Top Emerging Stars rankings.

The Top Emerging Stars rankings celebrate top mortgage loan originators under the age of 40 who produced at least $40 million in sales in 2022. According to the publication, the Top Emerging Stars rankings seek to showcase how younger loan originators are key in attracting and relating to Millennial and Gen Z homebuyers. Every Top Emerging Star also belongs to the Scotsman Guide’s Top Originators list for the year.

The four NFM originators who made the list are: Oleg Tkach of Lynwood, Washington, Andy Beigel of Columbus, Ohio, Mario Cua of Columbus, Ohio, and Shane Staples of Tempe, Arizona.

Out of 372 originators, Tkach ranked #9 with $199,147,063 in volume, Beigel followed at #147 with $60,877,094, Staples was #180 with $55,541,005, and Cua was #186 with $54,778,101.

“Congratulations to our Top Emerging Stars,” said NFM’s President and COO Bob Tyson. “These four originators are representative of our really talented roster of young originators, many of whom came to NFM with little or no experience in the mortgage business. They have been embraced and mentored by our more seasoned salespeople and are now, in turn, guiding others to become superstars. These are the future leaders of this company and why the sky’s the limit for NFM Lending.”

NFM Is proud of each of these loan originators and wishes them continued success.
