DeAnn Ellis, Mortgage Banker with Element Funding, was named by Mortgage Executive Magazine as among the top 1 percent of all mortgage originators in the United States in 2016 in its annual edition of the listing. Mortgage Executive Magazine, based in Bothell, Washington, has compiled the most comprehensive list of The Nation’s Top 1 Percent of Mortgage Originators since 2011. Only the top originators among the hundreds of thousands of mortgage originators in the country qualify for the list.

The Mortgage Executive Magazine article introducing the list for 2016 commented, “The minimum eligibility criteria are a total personal production of at least 30 million dollars and cannot include loan volume of associate originators or junior originators that earn a commission on the same loan files. Mortgage Executive Magazine seeks to recognize and celebrate the service, dedication, and hard work that leading mortgage professionals put into serving their clients during the home loan process.“

“It’s a great honor for me to have been recognized and named to the Top 1 Percent of Mortgage Originators List,” Ellis said. She continued, “It’s a well known award in the mortgage industry and a big honor for me since it is based on strict criteria that only a small fraction of originators qualify for.”

DeAnn Ellis has more than twenty years experience in the mortgage industry, including owning her own mortgage company. She is Senior Loan Officer for Element Funding and serves all of Georgia from the Covington, Georgia office.
