Former AEs say the wholesale mortgage lender had to close their business due to a legacy issue.
Another former AE posted a similar comment the next day on social media.

RMK had seen a nearly 70% drop in total loan originations since Nov. 1, 2022. This also included a nearly 84% drop in refinance volume.
It appears, the company laid off most of it’s 60 employees via Skype in mid-January. Afterward, the company closed it’s doors on January 31st.

The CFPB alleged RMK mailed deceptive print advertisements to more than 100,000 veterans and military personnel. Majestic’s solicitations used the logos of the Department of Veterans Affairs and FHA. The company did this to give the deceptive impression the mail was coming from the VA or FHA.
RMK sent its advertisements to tens of thousands of U.S. military servicemembers and veterans. They also sent them to homeowners with current VA loans.
Majestic’s website says they were licensed in 29 states and offered a full line of mortgage products. The company also stated they offered a proprietary loan origination system that provided innovation. Thus, allowing mortgage brokers the ability to track loan status in real-time. The company boasted that brokers could work directly with in-house origination and underwriting teams.
