SAN DIEGO–The Mortgage Bankers Association released its year-end ranking of commercial and multifamily mortgage servicers’ volumes for 2016.

At the top of the list of firms is PNC Real Estate/Midland Loan Services with $517.5 billion in U.S. master and primary servicing, followed by Wells Fargo Bank NA with $505.2 billion, Berkadia Commercial Mortgage LLC with $221.7 billion, KeyBank NA with $205.6 billion, and CBRE Loan Services with $112.0 billion.

The rankings were released here this week at the MBA Commercial Real Estate Finance/Multifamily Housing Convention & Expo.

Wells Fargo, PNC/Midland, KeyBank and Berkadia ranked as largest master and primary servicers of commercial/multifamily loans in commercial mortgage-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations and other asset-backed securities; PNC/Midland, CBRE Loan Services, Prudential Asset Resources and MetLife ranked as largest servicers for life companies; PNC/Midland, Wells Fargo, Walker & Dunlop LLC and Berkeley Point Capital LLC are the largest Fannie Mae servicers; Wells Fargo, PNC/Midland, KeyBank and CBRE Loan Services are the largest Freddie Mac servicers.

PNC/Midland, Capital One Financial Corp, and KeyBank rank as top master and primary servicer of commercial bank and savings institution loans; PNC/Midland, Situs and Trimont Real Estate Advisors of loans for the credit companies, pension funds, real estate investment trusts and investment funds; PNC/Midland, Red Mortgage Capital LLC and Walker & Dunlop LLC of loans for FHA and Ginnie Mae. Wells Fargo ranked as top servicer for loans held in warehouse facilities. Berkadia ranked as top for other investor type loans.

A primary servicer is generally responsible for collecting loan payments from borrowers, performing property inspections and other property-related activities. A master servicer is typically responsible for collecting cash and data from primary servicers and then providing that cash and data, through trustees, to investors. Unless otherwise noted, MBA tabulations that combine different roles do not double-count loans for which a single servicer performs multiple roles. The tabulations can and do double-count across servicers loans for which multiple servicers each fulfill a role.

Specific breakouts in the MBA survey include:

–Total Master and Primary Servicing Volume
–Commercial Mortgage-backed Securities, Collateralized Debt Obligations and Other Asset-Backed Securities Master and Primary Servicing Volume
–Commercial Banks and Savings Institution Volume
–Credit Company, Pension Funds, REITs, and Investment Funds Volume

MBA also asked firms to provide information about loans on which they are the named special servicer–where the firm stands ready to service the loan should special problems develop, such as delinquency. The largest named special servicers were PNC/Midland, Wells Fargo, LNR Partners LLC, CWCapital Asset Management LLC and Rialto Capital Advisors LLC. PNC/Midland is the largest special servicer for CMBS loans.

The MBA survey also collected servicing volumes for loans on commercial/multifamily properties located outside the United States. Situs Companies ranks as the largest master and primary servicer of non-U.S. commercial/multifamily mortgages, followed by CBRE Loan Services.
