About MortgageSelect.com
MortgageSelect.com is a national mortgage banker and the Internet division of American Home Mortgage Corp. Since our launch in 1999, we have led the industry in online closed loan volume, and we continue to outperform our online competitors in terms of profitability.
Annually, we assist more than 50,000 families with home financing, and in 2002 we funded more than $12.2 billion in loans.
We are a financially strong, publicly held institution, traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol AHMH.
We are licensed to provide mortgages in all 50 states, plus the District of Columbia
Our parent company, American Home Mortgage Corp., was founded in 1988, and has since grown organically and by acquisition to more than 2,250 employees nationwide. In addition to MortgageSelect.com, AHM's off-line divisions include Marina Mortgage Company, 1st Home Mortgage and the recently acquired, Columbia National Inc.
American Home Mortgage Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: AHMH) is a holding company whose principal assets are its investments in its wholly owned subsidiary, American Home Mortgage Corp., and its divisions (collectively referred to herein as "the Company" or "American Home Mortgage").
American Home Mortgage is an independent retail originator of residential mortgage loans. The Company underwrites, funds, and sells its loan products to more than 45 different buyers. It offers a broad array of residential mortgage products targeted primarily to high-credit-quality borrowers through its 209 branches and via MortgageSelect.com, its online channel. American Home Mortgage currently employees approximately 1,300 primarily commission-compensated loan originators.
American Home Mortgage has experienced record growth since its IPO in October of 1999. It has grown its branch network to 209 offices from 16, increased its sales force to approximately 1,300 loan officers from 122, expanded its physical presence across the country, and has rapidly grown its Internet business. The Company's loan originations for homebuyers increased nearly 400% since 1998, American Home Mortgage's rapid growth has resulted in record earnings and earnings per share in year-ended 2002.
American Home Mortgage's continued success is based on three main drivers of growth: accretive acquisitions, a successful model for online profitability, and organic growth in its branch offices.
American Home Mortgage is a consolidator of small to mid-size bank-owned, and independent mortgage companies with the potential to operate profitably. The Company seeks to acquire such companies opportunistically, at a minimal cost. It then eliminates duplicative back office functions, enhances the acquired franchise by providing its product line, technology, marketing strategies, and other branch support, and earns a higher price on the acquired business's production through the efficiency of a secondary marketing program. Since its IPO in 1999, the Company has completed six such acquisitions that have been immediately accretive to earnings: Marina Mortgage, 1st Home Mortgage, the branch network of Roslyn National Mortgage, ComNet Mortgage Services, Columbia National and its most recent the retail branch network of Principal Residential Mortgage.
Through its online channel, MortgageSelect.com, American Home Mortgage seeks to gain from consumers adopting the Internet as a source of mortgage financing by partnering with destination websites, and by providing the right consumer experience for today's marketplace. By partnering with destination websites, rather than branding its own site, MortgageSelect.com has been able to keep its customer acquisition costs low. By providing its mix of website technology with collaboration from its sales-oriented, Internet-dedicated call centers, it has been able to achieve a high closing rate and a low operating cost, as measured on a per-loan basis.
The Company grows organically by increasing the number of loan officers in its existing branches, working to make its existing loan offices more productive, and by opening new branches.
In addition to the above growth strategies, American Home Mortgage acquired a serving portfolio in 2002, when it acquired Columbia National. American Home Mortgage now consider retained servicing as a key capability of a counter cyclical growth strategy, with this strategy contributing to American Home Mortgage's financial growth, as the refinancing trend slows.

Please note the following:
The pricing listed above reflects our interest rates as of the date at the top of the page. Interest rates are very volatile and can change several times each day, so it's best to call or send an email to confirm our current rates.
Annual Percentage Rates (APRs) are based on a $100,000.00 loan and a purchase price (or property value) of $125,000.00. Your actual APR can and will most certainly vary from those quoted above. APR's differ from quoted interest rates because closing costs are included in the APR calculation. Call or send an email for an exact APR for your loan.
Finally, the prices quoted above make several assumptions about the property, its location, occupancy and other factors. These assumed risk factors may not be applicable to your loan. Call or send an email for an exact APR for your loan.
