PRMG Earns Scotsman Guide Top Lender National Recognition 2026
Paramount Residential Mortgage Group Inc. (PRMG) announced it has been named one of the nation’s Top 15 Mortgage Lenders in Scotsman Guide’s 2026 Top Mortgage Lenders rankings, holding strong at No. 13 overall among 95 lenders and earning year-over-year gains across key categories.
PRMG ranked No. 4 among Top Wholesale Lenders, up from No. 6 in 2025; No. 6 among Top Correspondent Lenders, up from No. 8; No. 11 among Top FHA Lenders, up from No. 14; and No. 14 among Top VA Lenders, up from No. 16; finishing at No. 30 for both Retail and Non-QM. The overall gains underscore the company’s strength across retail, wholesale and correspondent channels.
PRMG closed 28,777 loans and generated nearly $11.6 billion in total loan volume for the ranking period, contributing to a national field that collectively closed more than 2.1 million loans totaling more than $750 billion in volume. The recognition comes as PRMG celebrates its 25-year anniversary, marking a quarter-century of growth, resilience and commitment to borrowers, brokers and partners.
“To be named among the nation’s top lenders as we celebrate 25 years of commitment, strength and progress reflects who we are and how far we have come,” said Paul Rozo, PRMG Founder and CEO. “PRMG was built for originators, by originators, and these rankings speak to the discipline, grit and service-first mindset of our teams across every channel. Holding strong at No. 13 overall while climbing in wholesale, correspondent, FHA and VA lending reinforces the strength of our platform and the trust our partners place in us every day.”
Scotsman Guide’s annual Top Mortgage Lenders rankings recognize top-producing residential and commercial mortgage lending companies through employer-documented volume and a verification process designed to reflect earned production and industry leadership.
PRMG’s ranking comes as lenders navigate affordability pressures, rate volatility and shifting origination activity, highlighting the company’s scale, channel diversification and continued investment in the people, technology and partnerships that support long-term growth.
Founded in 2001, PRMG has grown from a small startup into a nationally recognized independent mortgage lender serving borrowers and business partners across the country. Its “Built by Originators, for Originators” foundation continues to guide its approach to service, operations and product access.
“Twenty-five years in, our mission has not changed — and our ability to deliver has never been stronger,” Rozo said. “This milestone reflects the relationships we’ve built, the innovation we continue to drive and the future we’re still creating.”
