Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions Caps Strong 2025 Defined by Technological Innovation and Strategic Growth

2025 origination volume grows 33% over previous year as firm continues to serve as a leader in non-QM lending

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions LLC, NMLS ID #1160240, a leading nonbank wholesale and correspondent non-qualified mortgage (non-QM) lender, enters 2026 at the forefront of non-QM lending following a year of notable innovation, market expansion and product development. Throughout 2025, the firm successfully scaled its operations and product suite to meet the rising demand for accessible mortgage solutions for underserved borrowers, reinforcing its commitment to delivering superior service to clients and borrowers.

Throughout 2025, Angel Oak achieved several business milestones that strengthened its service offerings and further advanced its position in the non-agency market. Key highlights from the year include:

• Strategic expansion and partnerships: The firm, alongside its capital markets and investment management affiliate, Angel Oak Capital Advisors, entered into a strategic partnership with Brookfield Asset Management, a leading global alternative asset manager, bolstering Angel Oak’s ability to deliver diversified non-agency solutions while continuing to maintain its independent operations.
  
  
• New technology enhancement: Angel Oak launched an industry-first rental automated valuation model (AVM) for DSCR loans. This groundbreaking tool allows Angel Oak to quickly generate a rental AVM figure, enabling a property to move through the valuation process faster without sacrificing quality and accuracy while reducing reliance on manual appraisal procedures that can take weeks and result in changing loan parameters much later in the loan process.
  
  
• Product innovation: Angel Oak expanded its non-QM product line with the launch of five-year and seven-year adjustable-rate mortgage offerings. These additions provide brokers and borrowers with critical flexibility in a dynamic interest rate environment. Additionally, the firm launched broker self-disclosures, which significantly streamlines the disclosure process by reducing turnaround times from days to just minutes.

“Our performance in 2025 is a direct reflection of our commitment to a tech-forward approach in the non-QM space,” says Tom Hutchens, president of Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions. “By integrating advanced automation directly into the workflows of our team, we are removing the traditional hurdles of non-agency lending and empowering our partners to act with confidence from prequalification to closing to ultimately deliver a better borrower experience.”

Beyond increasing loan originations by 33% from 2024, the firm expanded its approved broker network by approximately 30% and made significant investments in human capital, growing its team of account executives by 22 in 2025. Angel Oak plans to accelerate this expansion by adding 40 account executives in 2026.

As the mortgage industry anticipates a Fed easing cycle, the demand for innovative non-QM solutions continues to rise. Angel Oak plans to roll out additional tech-driven efficiencies in 2026 that prioritize speed and set a new standard for service in the market. By combining technology with flexible lending, the firm remains committed to its core mission of expanding homeownership for borrowers across the country.
