The following rankings were originally published in the May issue of NREI. The rankings are based on responses to NREI's Top Lender Survey questionnaire, and reflect total dollars financed or arranged in commercial real estate during the 2004 calendar year. Listings are presented in two parts. The first listing includes firms financing direct loans, credit lines, CMBS lending and other forms of direct investments to the industry. The second listing ranks financial intermediaries, including mortgage brokers and financial firms that arranged or facilitated transactions during 2004.
In instances where companies utilized their own balance sheet to close loans, or a line of credit to warehouse loans prior to securitization or sale in the secondary market, that volume was not considered production on an intermediary basis. For example, conduit lending and agency lending constituted direct lending for the purposes of this survey.
While NREI made every attempt to ensure the final survey was comprehensive, some companies chose not to participate.
