With the countdown of the 2015 Top Producers rankings now complete, National Mortgage News and Origination News are pleased to publish the entire list of this year's best loan officers and brokers.

Originators who submitted data for this survey represent the entire spectrum of lender shops, from banks and credit unions to mortgage bankers and mortgage brokerages, and their titles range from loan officer all the way to company president. Many of these originators have survived and thrived despite the wild changes in the lending environment over the past eight years, and if they want to continue to do so they will have to weather more upheaval in 2015.

The 2015 Top Producers are also featured in a special section of the April 27 print edition of National Mortgage News. Plus, additional upcoming features will provide an inside look into the careers and expertise of this year's Top Producers, offering readers first-hand insights into what it takes to be a leading mortgage industry professional.

The results of the Origination News2015 Top Producers survey reflect a year of transition for mortgage originations, with volume for many declining on a year-over-year basis.

There were just three mortgage originators whose personal production in 2014 topped $200 million, down from six for 2013, reflecting the slower overall origination market.

As a whole, mortgage industry volume declined to $1.1 trillion in 2014 from $1.8 trillion the year before, according to data from the Mortgage Bankers Association. The share of refinancing’s fell to 43% from 60% the year prior. Many originators anticipated that. However, an expected increase in purchase volume that was supposed to offset it failed to materialize, further challenging originators.

The decrease wasn't just a matter of dollar volume. There were nine loan officers who produced more than 500 units for the year, or more than 42 per month on average. The previous year, there were 14 originators in this category, including three who produced over 700 loans during the year.

The National Mortgage News family of publications began its annual loan officer rankings in 1999, with production data covering origination volume from 1998.

A new segment of this year's list will be revealed each business day from April 15 through April 27. The list below will be updated with links when each segment is published.

Very happy with my refinance. Nikitas Kouimanis was very helpful, professional, etc. to work with. I would recommend working with Nikitas to have a smooth transaction. What he quoted me is exactly what was on the paper work. The attorney that closed the deal was also very helpful in explaining the process.

To Whom It May Concern, Nikitas Kouimanis was instrumental in securing our first mortgage a year age and in securing a refinance loan on the same house on June 1st, 2012. Nikitas on both occasions worked tirelessly with the difficult intricacies of the loans. He was available at all hours for consultation and I don't believe the loans would have been done without his expertise and hard work. Nikitas is an excellent communicator whose knowledge of the process enabled the loans to fund even after I and my wife were ready to give up due to the difficult circumstances associated with the loan. Before we started to build our new house in order to get the construction loan we got pre-approved through Wells Fargo Mortgage for the Long term loan after the construction loan expires. After we finished building the home and we were ready for long term financing we went back to the same loan officer at Wells Fargo that pre-approved the loan a while back. However some two months later the loan officer quit Wells Fargo and went to another company partly due to the difficulties he was having getting Wells Fargo to close our loan. He took the loan package with him to his new company but two months later there was still no movement so we went online to Lending Tree to find a lender. Sterling National bank and Nikitas were referred by Lending tree. We did eventually get frustrated with SNB as well and we tried another mortgage company but after a few weeks they gave up and we went back to Sterling NB. I am very glad we did as Nikitas would not let this loan drop and eventually got it through. I would recommend Nikitas Kouimanis and Sterling National Bank to anyone interested in obtaining a mortgage; in fact we have told our son and niece to work with him when they are ready to get a loan... We are extremely happy with the service we have received and with the loan terms.

My husband and I recently decided to take advantage of the great interest rates being offered for refinancing. We have a vacation home in Florida and really wanted to lower the interest rate. After contacting Chase (who held the mortgage), and not finding a satisfactory response to our inquiry, we went on line to see what kind of response we would get. Needless to say, we were overwhelmed with all the lending institutions wanting to help us out. I spent a good deal of time screening calls to determine if I felt the caller would be someone we could work with. I returned the calls of quite a few to see what kind of a deal and service they could offer. One of them was Mr. Nikitas Kouimanis. I explained our situation with this house being our second home and that we really wanted to get a lower interest rate while we could. I realized that there probably would be some difficulty getting the lowest interest rate as we do rent it out some even though we consider it our second home. Mr. Kouimanis was very helpful in taking a good deal of time to walk me through what the process would be and explain how he would try and get us the best rate possible under the circumstances. I felt he was a person that was honest and would do his best to get us the best deal in the shortest amount of time. Well, as we had not refinanced since the housing market had crashed we were quite surprised at the volume of paper work required to refinance now. So because of my husband’s work schedule and trying to locate all the needed paper work the process did take longer than we expected. During this time Mr. Kouimanis sent us updated list of things to send that he would need for the process of the refinancing. As we expected it was more involved than refinancing a primary house and took longer. This whole process went on over the Christmas holidays, so that slowed the process also. During all this I kept in touch with Mr. Kouimanis by e-mail or phone and he was always responsive and prompt in his replies. We felt we had developed a good working relationship with Mr. Kouimanis so much so that we refinanced our primary residence house with him also! I would not hesitate to recommend him and Sterling Bank to anyone. He is a definite asset to your Bank and mortgage department, and I can assure you that is a hard worker and a person I would work with again. With Regards, Pamela O'Connor and William O'Connor Col. U.S.A.F Ret.

Hello, We wanted to take some time to inform you of how happy our family is with our refinancing process through Sterling and specifically with working with Nikitas. To be honest, we entered the refinance process with a bit of trepidation, as we weren’t sure what to expect and questioned whether we would get the attention needed while working with a remote company. Nikitas quickly alleviated our concerns by answering all of our questions both quickly and comprehensively. He was very responsive and also called directly whenever more information was needed so the process would not be delayed. Tad works in the IT industry, where faceless interaction for long periods of time is the norm, and we have completed multiple large purchases with remote companies. However, we believe some companies forget the need to develop a relationship with the customer even though they may never meet them face-to-face. We can honestly say that Sterling and Nikitas, in particular, did not forget this important part to doing business. We appreciate all the help we received throughout the process and look forward to continuing to do business with you. Sincerely, Tad & Kari Carlson

We had a pleasure and good working relationship with Mr. Nikitas Kouimanis as our loan officer. He has a great knowledgeable and helpful with our refinancing loan application. He was honest in explaining on how the loan works and time consuming. He has helped us out when we were trying to get our refinancing loan to be approved. We had problems with Ally Corp. who took over GMAC Mortgage Co. They turned down our refinancing loan due to a lack of employment status. We were glad that you took us in with your bank. I would recommend to others who are need for refinancing, or buying a new home. You did a great job of helping others who are in need of help during the economy crisis. Your bank is #1 in customer satisfaction. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Michael and Gina Colombo

Words cannot express how grateful I am to you for all your help in refinancing my mortgage. As you know, it was a yearlong process for me, trying to find a bank or mortgage company who would be willing to help me refinance. I was given false hope over and over again from many companies whose employees simply wanted “the sale” and once they realized it would take some leg work to help me maneuver through the process after I filled out their applications, I would not be called back or simply turned down and dismissed as it being too difficult a process since my debt to income ratio was higher than necessary for a quick and simple refinance. At the lowest point of my despair thinking I would never be able to quality or find someone who would help me, I called the servicing company who held my mortgage and they referred me to Sterling Bank. The universe must have been perfectly aligned for me that day as when I called the number given me I was fortunate to find myself talking to you. Everything changed from that moment on. Your knowledge, willingness to be patient and take the time to speak to me, ask me questions, make suggestions and most importantly not lie or give me false hope made my refinancing not only possible but it was a greater savings than I imagined. Your professionalism, sincere kindness and honesty made the entire process flawless and fast. Thank you so much for everything,

To Whom It May Concern: This Christmas I received a great gift, a refinanced home. A couple of years ago I received a similar gift when my brother helped me to remove my ex-husband’s name from my home loan with a refinanced loan, but this year he was unable to help me so he recommended Nikitas Kouimanis. Nikitas has been nothing but professional and very helpful from the first moment with the filling out of the initial paperwork until the final refund of my escrow account with my former lender. Nikitas kept me updated with all the ins and outs of my loan and was even available for me at odd hours due to my crazy work and training schedule. Though we have never formally met in person (I am in Missouri and he is in New York), I feel like he took the time necessary to work with me and with my previous lender to square away the best deal for me. I am very satisfied and have already recommended his services to my friends that are looking to refinance. Sincerely, Rachel Graczak

I've had the pleasure of working with Nikitas for two years. Nikitas has always represented himself to be a professional loan officer who goes the extra mile to help his borrower(s). Nikitas is detail-oriented and has a way of making every loan a personal goal of his to get closed. He is always striving to make his borrower(s) loan process a smooth and easy transaction. I would recommend Nikitas to anyone who is looking to buy a home or to simply refinance an existing mortgage.
Michael A. Mills – Plainview, NY
09/27/2013
Working with Nikitas has garnered him my highest recommendation. Nikitas is constantly scouring the marketplace and industry publications, looking for new ideas to assist his clients. I admire him for his creative work and his willingness to “give first”. His nearly encyclopedic knowledge of residential lending guidelines, mortgage product structures, and underwriting standards makes him an asset to his clients. His application of this know-how gives him an edge over typical loan officers. He can find beneficial and ethical ways to help his clients in almost any situation. His frank manner of speaking and perennial honesty is heralded as a boon by his clients, who often come into the relationship with negative expectations guided by stereotypes of slick bombastic salespeople. In an industry where a good reputation is as hard to come by as it is to obtain, you would be doing yourself a favor to align with Nikitas, as a client, referral partner, or a collateral business partner, as I have.

Dear Mr. Kouimanis, I am writing to thank you for your tremendous help guiding me through my recent home refinancing. As you know, refinancing a loan is a daunting task, and one that requires a great deal of trust between a broker and clients. Knowing I could depend on you to respond quickly to questions and concerns with accurate information made the process much easier. You provided sound guidance when needed and patient when I was overwhelmed. Now I can concentrate in other financial goals knowing that paying for my home will not become a source of stress. In this difficult time, I understand the added difficulty of securing refinance deal, and very much appreciate the experience with which you were able to accomplish the task. Thank you again and if I should find myself or other people in need of loan assistance, I will not hesitate to call you or give out the name of Sterling National Bank. Thanks again, Maribel Ayabarreno
