1.1 - Mortgage Origination and Distribution Companies Market Context & Valuation Drivers
Companies in this group operate digital platforms and wholesale channels that originate and facilitate residential mortgage lending. Business models span tech-enabled marketplaces that monetize referral and advisory fees, and lenders earning gain-on-sale and servicing/interest spread economics. They are grouped as comparables due to shared exposure to mortgage origination volumes, rate cycles, broker-driven distribution, and platform-enabled underwriting and fulfillment capabilities.
Typical capabilities include end-to-end loan origination systems, broker and wholesale portals, digital application and verification workflows, pricing and eligibility engines, automated underwriting and decisioning, marketplace lead generation and customer acquisition, refinance and purchase products across conventional, FHA, VA, and USDA programs, advisory services for borrowers, and SaaS distribution platforms for banks and savings institutions, with integrations to secondary market execution and analytics.
Primary customers include mortgage brokers, retail homebuyers and refinancing borrowers, and depository institutions leveraging platform distribution. Valuation benchmarks focus on funded loan volume, gain-on-sale margins and fee revenue per lead, conversion and pull-through rates, customer acquisition costs, and operating leverage from automation. Revenue growth, product mix between purchase and refinance, and market share relative to rate cycles are key comparability drivers.
