THE COMMERCIAL channel isn’t for the faint of heart, but Andy Anastasiou’s dogged approach and relentless determination helped him edge out the competition, about whom he said, “There are a lot of good-looking mortgage brokers in here. Top-notch, first-class people all the way.” Nothing if not humble, Anastasiou credited his business partner, Nick Karamitsos, with helping him win this award.
“The CMAs are a really good event because they get everybody in the business together to schmooze and make some good connections” ANDY ANASTASIOU SGE Financial

As a commercial lender and past broker, I understand what it takes, and we’re honoured to be able to present this award.”
