Shant Banosian, the No. 1 loan officer in the U.S. according to Mortgage Executive Magazine for eight consecutive years, is proudest of the title of loving husband and father to his three daughters. With his family at the core of everything he does, Banosian has built a career founded on relationships, trust and results. Over the past 20 years, he’s helped thousands of clients achieve their homeownership dreams, from first-time buyers to investors, and has funded over $10 billion in loans, maintaining a 95% client retention rate through referrals and word of mouth.
This year, Banosian was appointed president of Rate, with a vision to make Rate the No. 1 mortgage company in the country. His focus is on empowering loan officers to scale their businesses, increase success and make an impact in their communities — all while maintaining a balanced life. However, his new role won’t stop him from supporting his amazing network of agents; his commitment to delivering a world-class service level remains unchanged. “All of us at Team Banosian will always be here to partner with you and your clients in navigating the housing market,” he insists.
Banosian’s unwavering dedication to client relationships is as strong as ever. He remains committed to delivering on the value propositions Team Banosian has always upheld: availability, access, speed, certainty, solutions, execution, communication and preparedness — ensuring agents and their clients continue to win in today’s competitive market.
Outside of work, Banosian is deeply involved in community efforts, supporting organizations like Boston Children’s Hospital, the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and The Greater Boston Food Bank. When he’s not working, he usually can be found at local hockey rinks, at turf fields or cheering on Boston’s sports teams.
