PrimeLending Wins Freddie Mac Home Possible RISE AwardSM for Outstanding Work in Affordable Lending

DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–PrimeLending,
a national home lender, has earned the Freddie Mac Home Possible RISE
(Recognizing Individuals for Sustained Excellence) Award for Total
Volume. The RISE Award recognizes lenders for excellence in producing
the greatest volume of Home Possible® mortgages – Freddie Mac’s
affordable lending solution for low-to-moderate-income home buyers.

“We believe homeownership leads to stronger, healthier communities and
families,” said Steve Thompson, President of PrimeLending. “That’s why
we’re so passionate about supporting programs like Freddie Mac’s Home
Possible, which empowers so many first-time homebuyers to achieve their
dream to own a home.”

The following PrimeLending loan originators were recognized for their
standout performance and commitment to making responsible and
sustainable homeownership a reality for people living in our community:

compassion, attention to detail and customer care.”

The Home Possible RISE Awards combined volume from national Home
Possible and Home Possible Advantage mortgage options. Lenders must be
active Freddie Mac sellers/servicers, and correspondent lenders and
brokers must originate through those sellers/servicers. Freddie Mac
reviewed 2018 data and awarded the top organizations among several
categories.
