EAST BRUNSWICK, N.J., June 7, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- New Jersey-based residential mortgage lender First Choice Loan Services Inc., a Berkshire Bank Company announces that it has been ranked for "Top Overall Volume" by Scotsman Guide. This list is published in the June 2019 residential issue.

Scotsman Guide, the leading resource for mortgage originators, released its seventh annual Top Mortgage Lenders rankings. The list, which ranks the nation's top mortgage-lending companies, appears in Scotsman Guide's June 2019 residential edition, and rankings are available online at http://www.ScotsmanGuide.com/TopLenders2018. All Scotsman Guide rankings are searchable at ScotsmanGuide.com/Rankings/Search.
First Choice Loan Services was ranked among entries from hundreds of mortgage companies across the country. To be eligible for consideration in Scotsman Guide's Top Mortgage Lenders rankings, all loan volume had to be from mortgages on one- to four-unit residential properties within the United States. No commercial or international loans were included. After receiving submissions, Scotsman Guide required written verification of top entrants' volume from a certified public accountant, the chief financial officer at the company or a similar source.
Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Norman T. Koenigsberg is extremely proud for the company to make the list for the sixth year in a row.

"Every member of the First Choice Loan Services team is deeply dedicated to provide a smooth and seamless home loan process for all of our borrowing families. Our goal is to ensure they receive service beyond belief through every step of their mortgage journey," said Koenigsberg. "Accolades such as this reinforce that our client-centered focus is exactly where it should be. Without the relationships with our valued home buyers, homeowners and business partners, none of this would be possible. We are grateful to them for helping us rank for the sixth time on Scotsman Guide's list of mortgage companies for our 'Top Overall Volume.'"
