Collin County 60: Frisco company tops in growth
By RICK MANN, staff writer
The explosive growth of Collin County business was highlighted Friday during the annual Collin County 60 at the Marriott Legacy Town Center. The event honors the 60 fastest-growing businesses in Collin County.
Friday, Maverick Residential Mortgage Inc. of Frisco was announced to be the fastest-growing company in Collin County during the ceremony. The mortgage banker didn't show up in the top 60 a year ago but jetted to No. 1 in the competition, sponsored primarily by Comerica Bank.
The criteria for being named the fastest-growing business in Collin County involves a pattern of growth over three years with a strong focus placed on the last 12 months.
Maverick was founded by Johnson and Barrett Owens and engages in originating, closing, funding, and selling residential mortgage loans. Johnson and Owens have a background in mortgage, insurance, and financial services.
Maverick Mortgage replaced Masergy, a network service provider headquartered in Plano, as the fastest-growing business in the county. Masergy finished fifth this year and CEO Barry Nalls said the title was an honor.
"It was great for our company and employees, proving their hard work," Nalls said. "With the amount of work we were able to do helping orthodontists it's further proof I should have become a dentist."
OraMetrix of Richardson and No. 3 was QuickCare Software Services of Frisco. Rounding out the top 10 were Masergy, last year's winner, of Plano; MobileComm Professionals Inc. of Plano; Valere Power of Richardson; Pet Butler of Frisco; Brooke Insurance and Financial Services of Wylie; Acute Kids Urgent Care of Frisco and Pappy's Pet Lodge of Richardson.
