If you’re anything like me, at this time of year you’ll find yourself looking back on the past 12 months and reflecting on the thrills and spills that ensued. Certainly here at MPA there’s no shortage of contenders to add to the proverbial 2013 highlights reel. While flicking through the last 12 months’ worth of magazines and compiling the year’s memorable moments for our “Year in review” feature, it became clear that the common denominator that threaded its way throughout our proudest moments of 2013 was you, the mortgage broker.

Speaking of memorable years, in this issue we’ve also compiled our annual “Hot List’’ of the movers and shakers who have made waves in the mortgage industry over the past 12 months.
