Earlier this year, NMP reached out to mortgage employers across the country. We invited them to apply to participate in an exercise in which their employees voted on how well they were doing. Once a company was accepted into the program, they were given a unique code to distribute to their employee base. That code and a special link allowed employees to rate their companies on various aspects, without those employers having any ability to see what the voting was like.
We asked about benefits and corporate culture; community involvement social interaction; commitment to diversity and racial justice; and, much more.
We received hundreds and hundreds of replies. From these votes, the results are tallied for each company in each category.
The result is this listing. Companies did not purchase their slots here. They voluntarily submitted to the judgment of their workforce. In the end, each of them takes a place on the podium of excellence. These are, without a doubt, the Most Loved Employers in the mortgage industry.

Company culture differentiates wemlo from other processing companies. A young brand, wemlo values the diverse perspectives and experiences of team members, and each plays a critical role in the growth and development of the company brand. It takes just a little grit and passion to excel.
The unique culture at wemlo focuses on collaboration, welcoming challenges, and ongoing development, and employees are celebrated daily. Team members nominate colleagues by using recognition cards to signify that they are living wemlo’s core values, and winners are announced monthly during a company-wide meeting with the executive leadership team.
“We host ongoing focus groups with our processors because we understand the value of organic workplace evolution and authentic collaboration,” says Brittany Johnson, senior manager, PR and communications. “It fosters a culture where each team member feels like they are part of something bigger as they help to redefine and improve our processes.”
Employees are encouraged to be active community members and are granted paid time off to do so. wemlo recently partnered with the Junior Achievement BizTown Program to mentor elementary students on making lifelong personal-finance decisions.
wemlo’s competitive benefits package and job perks allows it to hire and retain quality talent, extend employee longevity, and effectively grow the team. Employees earn annual bonuses or monthly commissions, plus they have access to an employer-paid financial wellness program and identity theft protection, 50% 401k match with no cap, discounted ClassPass, and employer-paid health advocate for medical benefits assistance. wemlo also offers unlimited paid time off for vacation, personal, or sick leave.
