Company once again recognized as 2nd fastest growing company in the North Texas area
DALLAS, TX (November 19, 2013) --Wingspan Portfolio Advisors, an award-winning diversified mortgage services company, has been recognized for the second year in a row as the second fastest-growing privately held company in the North Texas area. The only company to be in the “top 10” for the past two years, Wingspan was among the top two recipients of the Dallas 100™ Awards, which recognize the 100 fastest-growing companies in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.
The awards were created in 1990 by the SMU Cox School of Business Caruth Institute for Entrepreneurship to recognize the contributions to the Dallas economy of independent, rapidly growing companies. Presentations were made on November 14th at the 23rd Annual Dallas 100™ Awards Ceremony and Banquet at the Omni Dallas Hotel.
It was the second major award for growth received in just days for Wingspan. Earlier in the week, the company picked up its second straight Hire Power Award from Inc. Magazine, ranking #5 nationally among privately held companies for the year and #1 among those in the mortgage industry. In addition, Wingspan was also recently named #23 on the Inc. 500 list of fastest-growing private companies in the U.S.
Wingspan Portfolio Advisors was celebrated for its revenue and jobs growth as it expanded to meet the increasing demand for special and component mortgage services. “The industry has evolved very rapidly over the last few years,” says Steven Horne, Wingspan founder, president and CEO. “Wingspan has assumed a number of functions that no longer make economic sense for many institutions to do themselves, and we have grown as our role has expanded,” continues Horne. “In the process, we have been able to preserve the expertise of hundreds of people by acquiring operations that otherwise would have been closed, enabling Wingspan to expand its capabilities to meet the needs of the changing mortgage industry.”
Wingspan Portfolio Advisors has grown to over 2,000 employees over the last year, adding operations in Florida, Louisiana, Colorado and California through strategic acquisitions in loan servicing, lender insurance claims management, due diligence services and customer service capabilities. The company has three offices in the Dallas area, including its headquarters.
“We expect to continue our growth as we find new ways to help our clients,” Horne says. “The industry trend is toward fewer companies that provide a broader range of services for lenders, servicers, investors and others as they seeks ways to lower their costs and improve their results,” he notes. “Wingspan is designed to help them achieve those goals and we look forward to additional growth in 2014 and beyond.”
