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?

What LO Candidates Now Consider Non-Negotiable

The five-day office mandate is dead in mortgage, and most companies haven't caught up. Loan officers didn't just adapt to remote work, they built entire businesses around choosing where they work and when they show up in person. With state regulators now permitting work-from-home origination and every competing employer advertising flexibility as standard, hybrid isn't a perk anymore, it's the baseline candidates screen for before the first interview. The question isn't whether you offer flexibility. It's whether your compliance, tech, and back-office support actually hold up once someone works remotely.

How to Identify and Win HELOC and Reverse Mortgage Clients

While every loan officer chases the same shrinking pool of purchase buyers, empty nesters are sitting on $19 trillion in equity, and most of them have never been asked what they'd do with it. Baby boomers now own 28% of the nation's large homes, many mortgage-free, yet remain almost entirely overlooked by lenders fixated on rate-and-term refis. The loan officers building durable pipelines aren't waiting for rates to move, they're learning to tell a HELOC candidate from a reverse mortgage candidate and using county-level data to find long-tenure homeowners before anyone else does. The question is whether you're prospecting this market or ignoring it.
