The Metroplex Mortgage Services Story

Verified USDA Recognition and National Lender Rankings

Metroplex Mortgage Services’ leadership in USDA lending is supported by official USDA Rural Development publications and lender ranking reports.

According to USDA Rural Development data, Metroplex has been recognized as the #1 USDA lender in Florida in multiple years based on loan volume and successful closings within the USDA Single Family Housing Guaranteed Loan Program.
