Ann Arbor, MI— Gold Star Mortgage Financial Group was recently classified as one of the top 500 fastest growing privately held companies in America by the 2009 Inc. 500 list. In addition to this achievement Gold Star now holds the #3 spot on Crain’s 2009 List of Largest Mortgage Lenders in Michigan.

“With the stagnant condition of the current lending market, we have had to work hard and dedicate ourselves to providing quality service and the lowest possible rates for our customers,” said Daniel Milstein, CEO of Gold Star Mortgage. “We consider it quite the accomplishment that Gold Star has managed to advance on Crain’s List from last year’s #4 ranking.”

On this year’s Crain’s list, which is ranked by 2008 residential loan volume, Gold Star falls just behind Flagstar Bank and Quicken Loans/Rock Financial. Their #3 slot is due to their total loan volume more than doubling the amount that the #4 ranked company brought in.

According to Milstein, Gold Star’s success is due to its customer satisfaction, which in turn brings referrals as well as return business enabling their continued growth.

“It is nice to see our hard work pay off but we cannot slip into contentment. We will continue in our diligence and goal oriented state of mind never to be satisfied with anything but perfection,” Milstein said.
