Urma Mollema’s abilities in the mortgage business extend across continents. Having created the largest mortgage origination company in South Africa in 2000, she was later selected as South Africa’s Woman of the Year in 2005 and the country’s Business Woman of the Year in 2008. Now in Canada, she has become a key member of Centum Financial’s team, particularly for her ability to build the firm’s brand in the mortgage space. Apart from her day-to-day responsibilities, Mollema keeps busy with her involvement with the Rotary Club and the Mrs. World Competition, an event where she previously represented South Africa.
An Ottawa-based mortgage broker, Debbie Belair is often the first point of call for those seeking to buy a home in the country’s capital. Last year was a big one for the city with the introduction of the Trudeau government, and the buzz around Ottawa was reflected in an increase in home sales. And it paid off for Belair – with $53 million in sales to her name, she continued her fantastic run as one of DLC’s top 25 brokers. Boasting more than 28 years of experience in the mortgage industry, Belair is committed to building her business at Belair Mortgage Group as Ottawa continues its growth.
When you consider Dr. Sherry Cooper’s laundry list of achievements and awards, her inclusion on this list is a no-brainer. A member of the Women’s Executive Hall of Fame since 2004, she was also previously a member of the American Bankers’ Association Economic Advisory Council and was named as the National Post’s third Most Influential Woman in Canada in 2002. Cooper spent three decades as the chief economist at BMO, advising Canada’s largest bank on the housing and mortgage markets. Now she lectures at McMaster University and the DeGroote School of Business, as well as serving as chief economist for DLC.
