Non-QM production is set to hit $175 billion in 2026, up from $108 billion in 2025, and DSCR and investor products now make up roughly half of all non-QM collateral. That growth is good news for wholesale AEs and recruiters chasing this segment. It's also a problem. More lenders are competing for the same pool of producing loan officers, and the ones who find the right prospects first are the ones who win the relationship.
What Does It Mean to Find Non-QM Loan Officers Faster?
Finding non-QM loan officers faster means identifying which originators are already closing this type of volume, where they're located, and who they're currently working with, before a competitor gets to them. Speed matters because non-QM is a relationship-driven business. The AE or recruiter who shows up first with data in hand, not a cold pitch, sets the tone for the entire conversation.
Why Is Non-QM Loan Officer Data Hard to Find?
Most lenders rely on referrals, trade show conversations, or LinkedIn searches to identify non-QM producers. None of that tells you volume, product mix, or whether a loan officer is already working with a competitor. Analysts expect Non-QM loans to make up 15% of total originations by the end of 2026. With that much volume moving through the market, guessing who's active in the space is no longer a viable strategy.
How Does Modex Help You Find Non-QM Loan Officers?
Modex tracks mortgage production data across 2,370 counties, covering 95% of U.S. residential home loans, sourced directly from county-level deeds of trust. The data lets you filter for the specific loan officers producing non-QM volume in your target markets, rather than sorting through general production lists.
With Modex, you can:
Build targeted prospect lists filtered by product mix, volume, and geography
See which loan officers are actively using a competitor's non-QM products
Track workforce movement, since loan officers tend to change employers roughly every two years
Plan efficient in-person outreach routes based on where producers are concentrated
Export contact details, including work email, mobile number, and LinkedIn, directly to your CRM
What Data Does Modex Provide on Non-QM Producers?
Modex gives you production volume, product mix percentage, licensing details across states, and direct contact information for nearly every producing loan officer in the country. You can see who's closing non-QM deals, how much, and where, without waiting on a referral or hoping someone mentions it at a conference.
The Bottom Line
The non-QM market isn't waiting for anyone to catch up. It's already one of the fastest-growing corners of mortgage lending, and the loan officers producing that volume are being recruited right now, by someone. Modex gives you the data to identify them first and start the conversation with facts instead of a cold call.
