In addition to taking the top spot on the publication's annual list of the top 200 mortgage companies, Guaranteed Rate has more loan officers included in the top 1 percent of the industry professionals across the country and has the most number of loan officers in the top 200 than any other company, with 30 included on the list. The lender also had four originators in the top 10, including Indy Johar--the top-ranked originator in the country last year with more than $400 million in originations.

Guaranteed Rate attributes its growth in the last several years to a number of factors, including a comprehensive, aggressively priced product; an efficient processing platform; automated marketing that keeps originators top-of-mind with their clients; and best-in-class technology that significantly shortens closing time.

The company also boasts a 96 percent customer satisfaction rating, according to a release.

""Our strategy of taking away non-selling activities from our originators so that they can focus on satisfying our borrowers has been the key to our success; and we're very proud to be honored by _Mortgage Executive Magazine_ as the top mortgage company in America and the one with the highest performing loan officers,"" said Victor Ciardelli, president and CEO of Guaranteed Rate. ""We have a great team here at Guaranteed Rate and this, coupled with our products, tools and processes, enables us to provide better service to more and more customers.""
