The winning executives were asked to provide their insights on the mortgage industry’s opportunities and challenges today. Silverman spoke about NFM Lending’s increased focus on selective recruiting:

“The biggest opportunity for NFM Lending this year is to be selective with our origination recruits and focus on better, not bigger. Fortunately, the demand for service and product remains very high with a smaller supply of human capital across the industry. We believe this is a great time to be selective as well as bring new blood into the mortgage space and train them up.”

“I am truly honored to be recognized again amongst so many spectacular leaders in our industry,” said Silverman. “All I can do is continue to work towards being the best leader I can be for my company and those that I am blessed to have on my team making me look good.

The winning selections were based on total MLO votes and average rating score. NFM Lending was ranked #4 of 50 based on average score given by employees.

“Of all the awards, the Best Companies to Work For award means by far the most to me,” said David Silverman, founder and CEO of NFM Lending. “It’s not about numbers or profitability; rather, it’s about how we treat each other and what we stand for as a company. It’s one thing to feel you have a great culture, but when you continue to have your fellow employees vote over and over that they love where they work…that’s real!”

“The biggest opportunities in 2015 are still in the area of recruitment of top originator teams, training your existing staff from good to great and increasing servicing portfolios. The biggest challenges are managing shrinking margins as the cost of compliance continues to rise and differentiating your company or brand from the competition. We are all basically working with the same product line and pricing range so service and the “X” factor become the areas of more focused energy.”

“The biggest opportunity today is consolidation and recruiting as the number of players decreases the strongest will survive. Between QM, refinance market pull back, rising rates, and various other variances in the market, there will be companies that merge, roll-up, get bought out or simply close up shop.
