Today is the last day for Canadian Mortgage Awards nominations
Today is the last day for Canadian Mortgage Awards nominations.
Don’t forget to nominate deserving colleagues for recognition of their contributions to the industry, and for helping make thousands of homeowners’ dreams come true each year. The black-tie event will be held at the capacious Liberty Grand in Toronto on April 26 and will celebrate outstanding achievements in what promises to be a night to remember!
Without a doubt, last year’s winners will be eager to defend their awards.
Clinton Wilkins of the Clinton Wilkins Mortgage Team with CENTUM Home Lenders Ltd. won the Award for Mortgage Broker of the Year (Fewer Than 25 Employees) for his 230 transactions in 2017 that totalled $50 million. The Halifax-based Wilkins says that since winning and advertising the award, business has surged.
“Since the win, I’ve had the best year ever in the 12 years I’ve been in the industry,” said Wilkins. “This year, I’m up 80% over last year and I attribute that to the momentum that I’ve had and winning a CMA is justification for what I’m doing in the industry. Winning a CMA has 100% helped me increase business, especially as broker of the year. It really speaks to the good things going on in Halifax and it’s put me on the map on a national level.”
Upon winning the award, the Wilkins Team immediately put out a press release and emailed clients to break the good news.
“It essentially communicated to our customers and business partners that we’re the biggest game in town,” said Wilkins. “Being able to win the Broker of the Year Award goes to show that sometimes these small players, these underdogs, really have some heavy hitters on their rosters. At CENTUM, the leadership that Chris Turcotte has brought to the organization has helped us get to the next level and it’s incredible to be recognized by the CMAs for it.”
