Stearns Lending Continues Growth, Reporting Another Record-Breaking Quarter

Stearns Lending, Inc., ("Stearns") a privately owned mortgage company today announced that is has exceeded its all-time revenue record for the first six months of 2006. Stearns Lending revenue increased 17% in 2006 over the corresponding first six months for 2005 and 39% over the same period in 2004. The company reported a record-breaking first quarter in 2006.

During this time of unprecedented growth, Stearns has invested in the development of talent, customer programs, and technologies in their four key business channels: wholesale lending, retail lending, consumer direct, and credit unions. Stearns architected two new websites to meet the evolving needs of homeowners and brokers including http://www.stearns.com and http://www.stearnslending.com. In addition, Stearns expanded their wholesale division to better serve mortgage brokers across the country.

"While the median home prices in California continue moving upward toward record levels, home sales have declined. Some view this as a normal winding down of the real estate cycle, where declining demand eventually erodes price growth and the cycle reverses," said Ken Richey, Managing Partner at Richey May & Co., a Denver based public accounting and consulting firm specializing in mortgage banking and secondary marketing. "The highest performing mortgage companies are those with exceptional management leadership, top-notch producers, and sound technology. Stearns Lending possesses all of these characteristics. With a focus on the smallest of details, Stearns appeals to the ever more demanding customer with Stearns-Branded 'I can help you' philosophy."

In order to accommodate for its growth, Stearns has also announced its plans to expand office space into the Jamboree Center in Santa Ana, Ca.

"Stearns has been actively seeking outrageously talented industry professionals to join our team," said Stearns Founder and Chairman, Glenn Stearns. "I have always been a believer in our talent. This year, our leadership team has proven that they are the best in the market by driving not only record-breaking revenues, but the highest satisfaction levels of our bankers, customers, and employees."
