Connect CRE Introduces the Top Mortgage Brokers and Lenders Awards Program

For commercial real estate professionals on the lending side of the industry, 2020 was both an especially fruitful year and an especially challenging one. That’s why we at Connect Commercial Real Estate chose now to expand from our annual Top Broker Awards into the first-ever Top Mortgage Brokers and Lenders awards program.

As with our other awards programs, we’re asking for your input to help us recognize the past year’s lending stars. We’ll be making our selections from among nominations of capital markets professionals at services firms, banks, insurance companies, alternative lenders and other organizations providing CRE debt.

And as with our other awards programs, we intend to recognize 10 winners from each of the regions we cover. That means brokers and lenders in California; Texas; New York/Tri-State; Chicago/Midwest; Boston/New England; Washington, DC; Atlanta/Southeast; Florida/Gulf Coast; Phoenix/Southwest; and Seattle/Northwest, as well as those who are active nationally. We’ll make our final selections based on 2020 dollar volume.

If you know a lending professional or team who excelled last year, we’d like to hear from you. Click here to submit a nomination. Deadline for submissions is June 4.
