The Canadian mortgage industry’s 50 brightest young stars offer their thoughts on how the business needs to evolve to meet the needs of today’s buyers ONCE AGAIN, CMP’s annual Young Guns list offers an insightful glimpse into the industry as it stands today and what it may be in the future. While everyone featured on this list is under the age of 35, that doesn’t mean they’re lacking in experience – or, indeed, wisdom. Many of the brokers on this list have more than a decade in the mortgage business under their belts. As such, they have strong opinions on where the industry is headed and what changes need to be made to ensure the continued credibility and legitimacy of the mortgage business. Many of this year’s Young Guns work in the intense markets of Vancouver and Toronto, which continue to dominate the conversation about real estate in Canada.

Another major talking point among this year’s selection was how important technology has become, particularly in regard to the different expectations of Baby Boomers, Gen Xers and millennials. The consensus is that being able to adapt is crucial to success in 2016, and harnessing the many tools of the digital era is what will separate those at the top of the industry from the rest.
