MBA Releases 2022 Year-End Commercial/Multifamily Servicer Rankings
San Diego (February 13, 2023) — The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) today released its year-end ranking of commercial and multifamily mortgage servicers’ volumes as of December 31, 2022.
At the top of the list of firms is PNC Real Estate/Midland Loan Services, with $732 billion in master and primary servicing, followed by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., ($722 billion), KeyBank National Association ($451 billion), Berkadia Commercial Mortgage LLC ($393 billion), and CBRE Loan Services ($380 billion).
Among servicers with retained or purchased servicing of U.S. mortgaged, income-producing properties, Wells Fargo, PNC/Midland, and KeyBank are the largest primary and master servicers for CMBS, CDO or other ABS loans; PGIM Real Estate Finance is the largest for credit company, pension funds, REITs, and investment fund loans; Walker & Dunlop, Wells Fargo, and Berkadia are the largest for Fannie Mae loans; Wells Fargo, KeyBank, and PNC/Midland are the largest for Freddie Mac loans; Lument Real Estate Capital, LLC, Greystone, and Berkadia are the largest for FHA & Ginnie Mae loans; CBRE, JLL, and NorthMarq for life insurance company loans; and Wells Fargo for loans held in warehouse. PNC/Midland, CWCapital Asset Management LLC, and KeyBank are the largest named special servicers.
Wells Fargo, MetLife Investment Management, and PGIM are the top servicers for loans held in own portfolio, U.S. mortgaged, income-producing properties.
Berkadia, PNC/Midland, and SitusAMC are the top fee-for-service primary and master servicers of U.S. mortgaged, income producing properties; Citco Loan Services, PNC/Midland, and Wells Fargo rank as the top master and primary servicers of other types of commercial real estate related assets located in the United States; and CBRE, SitusAMC, and Mount Street are the top primary and master servicers of non-US CRE-related assets.
A primary servicer is generally responsible for collecting loan payments from borrowers, performing property inspections and other property-related activities. A master servicer is typically responsible for collecting cash and data from primary servicers and then providing that cash and data, through trustees, to investors. Unless otherwise noted, MBA tabulations that combine different roles do not double-count loans for which a single servicer performs multiple roles. The tabulations can and do double-count across servicers’ loans for which multiple servicers each fulfill a role.
