Description of the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:

Scotsman Guide's Top Originators rankings are aspirational for mortgage professionals, but names and numbers on a list don't capture the history or humanity of those at the top of our industry. The Featured Top Originator department gets to know these top producers, tells their stories and showcases what makes them both unique and competitive.

Our readers hear advice and success stories directly from the horse's mouth, serving to both educate and inspire. The originators we profile for this department are usually chosen from the rankings list being published in each issue, maximizing education on each loan type and creating a theme for the month’s rankings content.

The three profiles included here are great examples of the diversity of lending products, with different niche borrowers served by each originator. Kelly Malatesta, the #1 woman in our rankings, is a construction expert; Christian Groomes, #8 in our nonqualified mortgage ranking, works in the private lending space; and Patton Gade, our #1 VA loan originator, is an Army veteran and an expert in military lending. Showcasing diverse loan products gives our readers options to explore new but proven revenue streams within their own businesses.
