CT's Top Loan Originators
The Commercial Record’s Top Loan Originators
Real estate data analytics firm The Warren Group, publisher of The Commercial Record, has compiled from its loan originators module a list of the top loan originators of 2025. The originators are ranked by number of loans and loan volume for all residential mortgages statewide and in Fairfield and Hartford counties, as well as by the institution with which they are most closely affiliated (credit unions, banks and mortgage companies).
These LOs have worked hard to achieve their positions in the rankings; they are to be congratulated for their well-deserved success and their contributions to the Nutmeg State’s housing economy.
