According to NAHREP, the Top 250 Latino Mortgage Originators Award is an annual report from the NAHREP® that recognizes the top Latin mortgage originators in the United States by the number of mortgages they closed in the previous calendar year.

“NAHREP is proud to recognize these top performing individuals for their contributions to the mission of the Hispanic Sustainable Home Ownership Association,” according to the report. “The Top 250 Mortgage Originators Award was conceived in 2014 after the continued success of the Top 250 Latino Agents Award created a demand for recognition of success in other parts of the industry.”
