San Ramon, California, May 04, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- For Immediate Release
San Ramon, Calif. – May 4, 2020 – SocialSurvey, a leading provider of experience management software, today announced America’s top 50 loan officers for customer satisfaction in 2019. Competition was fierce with more than one million reviews of 30,000 individual loan officers from nearly 200 companies being scored, by far the largest data set in the mortgage industry.
The results are based on survey completion rates, the number of reviews, and the star ratings submitted to the SocialSurvey platform by verified customers. To ensure integrity, the platform is connected directly to each company’s loan origination system to enable the automatic sending of customer satisfaction surveys after closing to every individual listed on each loan application with a unique email address. As a result, it is not possible to choose who receives a survey. A proprietary algorithm and weighting were used to arrive at the final results.
According to SocialSurvey’s data, Jennifer Ballheimer, working from the Little Rock, Ark. office of Mortgage Financial Services, was the nation’s top loan officer for customer satisfaction in 2019 with almost 200 surveys completed, a survey completion rate of 85 percent, and an average rating of 4.97 stars out of five.
