Methodology
Lenders are ranked by the number of deeds of trust classified as commercial that were recorded in Nueces County, TX during the quarter, grouped by the lender of record (grantee). Counts are county-record-verified: every loan in this ranking corresponds to a recorded instrument with a document number.
This is a volume-based ranking. Lenders cannot submit deals, pay for placement, or opt out — the ranking reflects only what was recorded at the county. Dollar volume is shown where the amount is stated on the instrument or extracted from the recorded document; loans with undisclosed amounts count toward loan totals but not dollar totals, so known volume understates true volume.
Commercial-vs-residential classification combines borrower entity signals, legal description heuristics, parcel data, and loan size. Updated as new recordings are ingested; the ranking finalizes shortly after quarter end.
