The following rankings were originally published in the May issue of NREI. They are based on responses to NREI's Top Lender Survey questionnaire and reflect total dollars financed or arranged in commercial real estate during the 2003 calendar year. Listings are presented in three parts. The first listing includes firms financing direct loans, credit lines, CMBS lending and other forms of direct investment to the industry. A second listing includes government-sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. A third listing ranks financial intermediaries, including mortgage brokers and financial firms that arranged or facilitated transactions during 2003. 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.
