It has to be good news for Detroit when the business behind the chief benefactor of its resurgence reports not just record sales, but crushing sales, both in growth and massiveness. Congrats Quicken and Dan Gilbert.

"Mortgage giant Quicken Loans, one of Detroit's biggest employers, says that 2019 will go down as the best year in its history for overall volume of home loans

"Driven by lower interest rates that pushed more consumers to refinance their mortgages, Quicken Loans is on pace to originate more than $140 billion in mortgages for the year. That result would shatter the company's previous volume record of $96 billion set in 2016."
