ABN AMRO Mortgage Group Third Quarter Production Jumps 40 Percent

    ANN ARBOR, Mich., Oct. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- ABN AMRO Mortgage Group, Inc.
(AAMG), one of the nation's largest mortgage lenders, today released third
quarter (July 1 through September 30, 2005) production figures for all of its
production divisions.
    AAMG reported third quarter production totaling $16.6 billion, an increase
of 40 percent from third quarter 2004 totals.  InterFirst Wholesale Mortgage
Lending was AAMG's top performing division in the third quarter, with
production totaling $13 billion.  Year-to-date, AAMG's production totaled
$42.4 billion, with more than 245,000 loans funded.
    "AAMG's production grew during the third quarter, besting its second
quarter production by more than $1 billion and its third quarter 2004
production by $4.7 billion," said Mike Maher, executive vice president.  "One
year ago, conforming fixed-rate products accounted for 80 percent of the
number of products offered by AAMG.  To meet consumer demand, AAMG has
meaningfully diversified its product line over the past year.  AAMG's
proactive product roll-out initiatives, especially the introduction of stated
income, stated asset, adjustable-rate and home equity products, have boosted
the company's market share and production."
