J.D. Power Study Awards Quicken Loans Highest in Customer Satisfaction Among Mortgage Servicers in the United States

DETROIT, July 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Quicken Loans, the nation's 2^nd largest retail mortgage lender, and a top-10 mortgage servicer, was today ranked highest in customer satisfaction among home loan servicers included in a study by J.D. Power, a global marketing information services company.     

The award is Quicken Loans' first for mortgage servicing – the collection and processing of monthly mortgage payments, management of property tax and insurance escrow accounts, as well as other functions related to a client's mortgage after closing until it is paid off.  This recognition comes in the company's first year of being eligible for the honor.

The top servicing ranking makes Quicken Loans the highest-ranked lender in both major J.D. Power customer satisfaction studies in the mortgage business as the company has been ranked highest the past four consecutive years (2010 through 2013) in J.D. Powers' annual primary mortgage origination study.

"Our special and unique culture allows our 10,000+ team members to participate in the process of delivering an outstanding experience for all of our clients, every time, without exception," said Dan Gilbert, Founder and Chairman of Quicken Loans. "Our people are passionate about everything that is related to 'wowing' each one of our clients. They look for the inches as well as the 'big ideas' that keep us ahead of our competitors. Most importantly, we empower our brainforce to make decisions without the typical stifling and poisonous bureaucracy that is unfortunately found in most large financial institutions in today's world."

Quicken Loans began servicing the loans it originates in 2010 and has rapidly increased its servicing to today's nearly $150 billion portfolio.

The company focuses heavily on technological solutions to create and enhance a client-friendly experience on both desktop and mobile applications and devices.

According to the J.D. Power study, Quicken Loans earned the highest score in three key factors of the study:

• Billing and payment process
• Website
• Escrow account administration

"We are obsessed with creating an environment that leverages our team members' customer experience, their observations and their ability to take their knowledge and turn it into real process improvements for every client that we touch," said Quicken Loans CEO Bill Emerson. "In addition, we are driven to communicate with our clients in a manner that brings clarity and simplicity to a very complex, important and otherwise stressful financial transaction. I am proud that we have completed the circle and now are the highest ranked lender in client satisfaction in both mortgage origination and servicing."

Since 2010, Quicken Loans has moved its headquarters to downtown Detroit. More than 12,500 Quicken Loans and its family of companies' team members work out of the organization's campus in the urban core of the Motor City.
