Primis Mortgage Named a Top 25 Lender in Greater Nashville by Nashville Business Journal

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Primis Mortgage is proud to announce it has been ranked #25 on the Nashville Business Journal’s 2024 list of largest residential mortgage lenders by volume in the greater Nashville area. The recognition reflects the growing impact of the Primis Mortgage team in one of the nation’s most competitive housing markets.

Last year, Primis Mortgage closed 379 loans in the Nashville area, generating more than $146 million in local mortgage volume. That strong performance helped the company surpass some of the largest banks in the country—proof that personalized service and streamlined processes matter in a competitive market.

“We’re building something special in Greater Nashville,” said John Owens, Primis Mortgage CEO. “Landing a spot in the top 25 is a big milestone for us—and it’s all thanks to the leadership from Belinda [Arender] and the incredible work of our all-star team of loan officers and support staff. Their grit, service mindset and commitment to doing things the right way have put us on this path. I’m especially proud of how far we’ve come—and excited for where we’re headed.”

This recognition comes as Primis Mortgage continues to expand its presence in the Nashville market, recently welcoming top producers Pete Zaft and his team. With momentum building and a strong foundation in place, the company is positioned to climb even higher in 2025.
