Case Study: AmeriHome Mortgage achieves faster loan purchases, 14% higher production and 50%+ ROI with ICE Mortgage Technology

A World-Class Correspondent System and a 50 Percent ROI, Year One

AmeriHome Mortgage, a Thousand Oaks–based correspondent lender that funds roughly $40 billion in loans annually across 49 states, needed a more scalable, responsive lending platform as its original LOS could no longer support rapid growth. The company sought a solution to improve performance, cut costs, and speed the purchase and sale of loans while maintaining quality and customer satisfaction.

AmeriHome partnered with Ellie Mae to implement the Encompass Digital Lending Platform and related services, completing a complex migration in six months and integrating pricing, compliance, and seller-facing tools. The new system automated review workflows and accelerated processes, driving a 14% weighted increase in production (up to 33% in some teams), a 25–30% faster loan purchase cycle (from seven to five days), improved loan quality and satisfaction, and more than a 50% ROI in year one.
