A mortgage lender owned by veterans gains nationwide recognition for sustained growth, innovation, and expansion despite a difficult mortgage market.
This recognition belongs to our entire team. We’ve continued to adapt, invest in our people and build a mortgage company where great people can grow and succeed.”— Will Tullos, Founder & CEO
NEW ORLEANS, LA, UNITED STATES, August 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — NEW ORLEANS, LA — August 11, 2026 — Reliant Mortgage LLC, a veteran-owned mortgage lender based in New Orleans, has earned a spot on the **2026 Inc. 5000**, the annual list of the fastest-growing privately owned enterprises in the United States.
Reliant Mortgage secured the No. 1099 position nationwide, driven by a 313% increase in revenue over three years.
This achievement marks another key milestone for Reliant Mortgage as the firm broadens its national reach amid one of the most challenging eras the mortgage sector has seen in recent memory.
“Making the Inc. 5000 is about much more than a ranking,” said **Will Tullos, Founder and CEO of Reliant Mortgage**. “The mortgage industry has changed dramatically over the last several years. We made the decision to keep adapting, keep investing in our people and technology, and continue building a company where great loan officers and branch leaders can grow. This recognition belongs to our entire team.”
Reliant Mortgage has steadily enlarged its lending platform via retail, broker, wholesale, and correspondent lending channels, giving mortgage professionals access to a varied assortment of products and business structures.
The company closed more than **$216 million in mortgage volume in 2025**, reflecting ongoing growth despite elevated interest rates and intense competition.
Reliant Mortgage's long-range approach focuses on constructing a scalable lending hub while preserving the adaptability and individual attention of a boutique operation.
“We don't want to become a big company simply for the sake of being big,” Tullos added. “We want to build a better mortgage company. If we continue doing that, the growth will take care of itself.”
