/24-7PressRelease/ - EDMONTON, AB, CANADA, July 13, 2008 - "I'm thrilled with the results, and frankly, a little surprised," said Gordon. "I wasn't sure if I'd be even close to being included on the list, so it was very exciting when I received the news. It's a real honour to be mentioned on the same page with such a great group of Mortgage Brokers. I've admired many of them since I began my career and have a great deal of respect for what they've accomplished."
Canadian Mortgage Professional Magazine (www.canadianmortgageprofessional.com) released the inaugural survey results recently after compiling and verifying the information provided by Mortgage Brokers across Canada. The rankings are based on mortgage origination volume, or, in other words, the amount of money borrowed by home-owners that was brokered by the individual.
"I really owe my success and the success of First Foundation to our customers and our staff. I have fantastic people working for me and they are true professionals. There is no way I could have originated $57 million in mortgages in 2007 without their assistance," said McCallum. "I also want to congratulate the rest of the Brokers on the list, especially Larry Barclay, also from Edmonton, who was named the top Broker in Canada. Most importantly, I want to thank the people who have chosen us to broker their mortgages. Without their loyalty, their referrals, and their friendship, we would be nowhere today."
