Quicken Loans Inc., is headquartered in The Qube building in the heart of the historic financial district of downtown Detroit, Michigan. In 2012, it became the second largest overall retail lender in the U.S. (it is also the largest online retail mortgage lender). The company consists of Quicken Loans, One Reverse Mortgage, and Title Source, a mortgage settlement service provider. Quicken Loans closed more than $70 billion in home loan volume in 2012, a 133 percent increase over its previous record of $30 billion set in 2011. The company also doubled its growth. ==History== Quicken Loans, originally Rock Financial Mortgage, was founded in 1985 by Dan Gilbert, Ron Berman, Lindsay Gross, and Gary Gilbert. In July 1987 the name was changed to Rock Financial Corp. Rock Financial became one of the largest independent mortgage companies in the country. As RFC grew so did the head count, hitting 50 employees in August 1991. In May 1998, Gilbert took Rock Financial public, launching an IPO underwritten by Bear Stearns and Prudential Securities. In December 1999, Intuit Inc. (makers of QuickBooks, TurboTax, and Quicken) purchased Rock Financial for $532M. The company was renamed Quicken Loans. In June 2002, Gilbert led a small group of private investors in purchasing the Quicken Loans subsidiary back from Intuit for $64M. On November 12, 2007, Gilbert announced a development agreement with the city of Detroit to move the company headquarters downtown, consolidating suburban offices.〔Howes, Daniel (November 12, 2007).(Quicken moving to downtown Detroit ).''The Detroit News''. Retrieved on November 12, 2007.〕 The construction sites reserved for development by the agreement included the location of the former Statler Hotel on Grand Circus Park and the former Hudson's location.〔 Quicken Loans moved into its downtown headquarters in August 2010. The initial move brought 1,700 employees to the city. Since 2009, Quicken has leased office space in the Compuware building facing Campus Martius Park in Detroit. The company also houses its employees in Downtown Detroit's First National Building, The Qube, Chrysler House, One Woodward Avenue, and 1001 Woodward, all owned by Quicken Loans' parent company, Rock Ventures. In 2014, Quicken Loans has grown to be the 2nd largest mortgage lender in the United States, and remains the nation's largest online mortgage lender. The company employs 10,000 people, with more than 8,000 now working in the city of Detroit. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Quicken Loans」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
