NAME: Brett Mills
HOT 100: Brett Mills has been one of the top loan officers in the country over the past few years, but he still finds time to give back. A member of Academy’s President’s Club—which includes those doing $20m in purchase business or $40m in total volume— Mills was rewarded for his hard work with a week of volunteer work in a tiny Guatemalan village. “That’s the trip to be on,” Mills told MPA. “We literally give the shirts off our backs, and it’s so rewarding.”
