FEATURE / CMA FINALISTS
AND THE FINALISTS FOR THE
2014 CMA AWARDS ARE...
A challenging market comes with a host of obstacles, but leading brokers and other industry players are still reaching unparalleled heights. This year we honour the best and the brightest - those who have been shortlisted for the industry’s highest accolades. But hold on just a second. Before our winners can be announced, our impartial judges – who will work alongside the ballot accountants, PWC – must consider each of the finalists. Today’s leaders and tomorrow’s greats are all represented across the various categories and although each of the frontrunners deserves to be recognized and commended there can be only one winner. Have a look below and get to know the finalists. The winners will be announced and honoured at the Canadian Mortgage Awards on May 9 at the Liberty Grand in Toronto.
