Top 75 mortgage brokers of 2013 announced by CMP. The top five this year contributed nearly 20 per cent of the total funded volume for the entire list.
2013 was a breeze compared to the storminess of 2012.
Still, there was no shortage of challenges thrown in the way, though brokers did more than eke out a living, collecting commissions on $4.38 billion in funded volume, specifically on residential mortgages.
When all the submissions were gathered and double-checked, we – once again – crowned a new winner, recording a whopping $258,615,820 – an increase of $57,610,620 over his tally from 2012. Of course, you’ll have to read on to discover who this mystery broker is.
CMP is very proud of the diversity of this year’s list. Brokers from nine out of 10 provinces are represented, including Quebec.
Some of those same names appear on CMP’s third Small Market Top 20, which recognizes the successes of top performers in markets where the average home price is $290,000 or less.
Together, both lists point to an unmistakable trend, one we have also noticed: the gap is continuing to grow between the very top performers in this industry and other mortgage professionals.
The top five this year contributed nearly 20 per cent of the total funded volume for the entire list.
