harlan accola

Five years ago, Harlan Accola, CRMP, convinced Madison, WI-based Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation, one of the country's largest forward mortgage companies, to expand their efforts in the reverse mortgage space.

In that short amount of time, Accola and his operations team have built Fairway into a Top 10 reverse mortgage lender. While many companies saw reverse mortgage volumes plummet in 2019, Fairway had its best year ever, originating 1,009 Home Equity Conversion Mortgages, which ranked 7th nationally.

While it helps to have 3,000 loan officers and 500 branches across the country, Accola attributes much of the company's success in the reverse mortgage marketplace to the support that he has received from senior management.
