Quicken is best known for it’s personal finance software, which seems like it’s been around forever. They’ve also got a mortgage branch now and do a fair amount of online advertising. So here’s some general information for you about this company, which our users will begin to supplement with their own reviews.

First of all, Quicken Loans claims to be the world’s #1 online mortgage company. That may or may not be true, since their website doesn’t really cite any sources to support the claim or the criteria used to make the claim. Not to worry, such practices seem to be the norm these days.

Quicken’s website also says they closed over $19 billion in loan volume in 2007 (a very impressive number) and can close loans in all 50 U.S. states.
