How this list is ranked

Specialty evidence carries the most weight (production data, then lender page, then self-reported). Loan officers must be licensed in NY or have a branch there. Then branch location, years licensed and profile completeness. Disciplinary actions lower the score and are always shown. No paid placement. Methodology.

Same list as JSON: /api/v1/loan-officers?specialty=reverse&state=NY. Not a lender. Not a referral service. Verify licenses at NMLS Consumer Access.
