If you’ve followed Modex on LinkedIn, you know our "Top 10" LinkedIn rankings always spark great conversations, and it’s been rewarding to see so many professionals celebrate their milestones on the leaderboard. It’s a great way to see who is making waves in their respective states.

But for the most successful leaders in the mortgage space, a weekly historical snapshot isn’t enough. They need access to granular market share insights.

Our Transactions tool was built to move beyond static lists. It’s a living, breathing heatmap of the American mortgage landscape. When you open the Transactions tab, you aren't just looking at a map, you're looking at opportunity.

Granular Intel on Your Terms

While a "Statewide Top 10" is great for branding, real estate is local. The Transactions tool allows you to filter down to the city or even census tract.

  • For Recruiters: Find the high-performing LOs in your market before your competitors even know they’re active.

  • For wholesale/non-QM AEs: Identify which LOs are a good fit for your products or see who is working with your competition.

See the "How," Not Just the "How Much"

It can be a trap to focus on volume totals. The Transactions tab lets you pull back the curtain:

  • Loan Types: Who is winning the FHA battle in your county?

  • Wholesaler Rankings: Which wholesalers are providing the most support to the top-producing brokers in your area?

  • Product Mix: Is the market shifting toward purchase or refi in your specific region?

Data-Driven Strategy, Not "Gut Feelings"

The most successful companies use our metrics to update their business plans in real-time. By seeing the average loan amount and total units in a specific geographic area, you can set realistic quotas and identify "white space" where competitors aren't playing.

Stop Following the Trends... Set Them.

The data is all there: the top companies, the leading LOs, the most active wholesalers, and the changing loan types. The only question is: are you watching the game from the sidelines, or are you looking at the playbook?
