Gateway Mortgage, a division of Gateway First Bank, is proud to
announce that it has been named to the Top 50 Mortgage Companies in
America 2023, published by Mortgage Executive Magazine. Gateway
ranks number 30 based on total yearly mortgage volume. This list is
considered one of the most comprehensive lists of the nation’s top
100 closely held mortgage companies and publicly traded banks,
ranked by their total yearly mortgage volume. Mortgage Executive
Magazine seeks to recognize and celebrate the service, dedication,
and hard work that mortgage originators, managers, and executives
put into building their companies and serving their clients.
“Top Mortgage Originators are gaining market share and growing
production just as their competition leaves the mortgage business,”
states the magazine. “This past decade has been turbulent in the
mortgage industry. More than 70 percent of the mortgage competition
has been swept away during this time of change. For many of the
nation’s top producers, the consumer’s “flight to quality” has
created a unique opportunity to grow market share in both purchase
and refinance mortgages.”
In addition to the company’s rankings, 15 of Gateway’s mortgage
loan originators were included on the magazine’s list of Top 1%
Mortgage Originators in America 2023. Each originator is ranked by
their yearly mortgage volume, which cannot include the loan volume
of associate originators or junior originators who earn a
commission on the same loan files.
Gateway is excited to recognize the following team members for
their hard work last year:
Josh Allyn, Houston, TX
Jack Little, Bluffton, SC
Letty Alvineda, Bay City, TX
Michael McElroy, Ada, OK
Paddi Bailey, Beaufort, SC

“We are thrilled to have Gateway team members recognized by
