April 25th, by PRMG NATIONAL MARKETING
Paramount Residential Mortgage Group, Inc. (PRMG) proudly announces that 18 of its loan originators have been named to Mortgage Executive Magazine’s Top 1% of Mortgage Originators in America for 2025, as featured in the Spring 2026 issue.
Each year, Mortgage Executive Magazine ranks top originators nationwide based on verified personal production. This recognition places PRMG originators among an elite group of professionals across the country.
“When I think back to where we started, it was never about rankings—it was about building something meaningful with people who care,” said Paul Rozo, PRMG Founder and CEO. “Seeing this group recognized at this level, 25 years later, is incredibly special. It says a lot about who they are and what they’ve built.”
To qualify, originators must produce a minimum of $25 million in personal loan volume during the 2025 calendar year—demonstrating consistent performance in a challenging market environment. Their results reflect not only individual discipline and mindset, but also PRMG’s platform and ongoing investment in its people.
Widely regarded as a benchmark for top production, the Top 1% list highlights the industry’s highest-performing mortgage professionals.
“What stands out is the consistency each of these individuals brings,” said Chris Sorensen, PRMG SVP, Director of National Retail Production. “They’ve found a way to perform at a high level regardless of the market, and that kind of discipline is what sets them apart.”
As PRMG celebrates 25 years of helping families achieve homeownership, the company remains rooted in trust, relationships, and a people-first culture—while continuing to evolve for its next era of growth.
PRMG congratulates its 18 distinguished honorees.
