Draper and Kramer Mortgage Corp. (DKMC), one of the Top 75 Mortgage Companies in America, announces that one of the nation’s top-producing mortgage originators, Harinder “Indy” Johar, has joined the company as director of residential lending, based in DKMC’s Franklin, Mass., branch.
A mortgage professional since 1998, Johar is highly distinguished in the industry. Scotsman Guide, a leading trade journal, has ranked him among the top 25 mortgage originators in the country by loan volume since 2010, and he was No. 1 in the publication’s national ranking for most loans closed in 2012. Johar, who originated more than $250 million in loans in 2016, is a member of Mortgage Professional America’s 100 Million Dollar Club and was named to its 2014 “Hot 100” list.
“This is a big move for me, and I’m excited to be making it,” said Johar. “I work with hundreds of clients a year and am on the job seven days a week, so making a transition like this is not a casual decision. I’ve done my homework and am confident Draper and Kramer Mortgage Corp. is where I can find the best support for my business and the best financing options for my clients.”
Johar is accompanied at his new position by several other top-producing greater Boston area loan officers.
“We’re truly honored to have Indy as part of our team,” said Paul Lueken, CEO of Downers Grove, Ill.-based Draper and Kramer Mortgage Corp. “His incredible record and reputation speak for themselves. He could have chosen any mortgage company to work with, so it’s a huge endorsement of who we are and what our firm offers that he joined us.”
The addition of Johar is a notable development in DKMC’s ongoing recruitment and expansion efforts nationwide. With over 40 branches across the country currently, the lender is on pace to add over a dozen locations in 2017. In addition to entering the Boston market in late 2016, the company has recently established a presence in Washington, D.C.; Tennessee; Kentucky; Missouri; Texas; California; and Oregon.
