For Collin Bruce (pictured top), an Edmonton-based broker and franchise owner at Dominion Lending Centres Mortgage Mentors, coming away with last year’s prize for Broker of the Year – Alberta proved a memory that’s unlikely to fade in a hurry.
“It’s one of the most prestigious awards that you could win as a mortgage broker, besides probably the Lifetime Achievement Award,” he said. “So for me, it’s a really big honour. There’s a lot of work to continually grow your business, and there’s a lot of good brokers out there that are well deserving of the award as well.
“So it’s a really big deal. And what it does for me, I find it just gives me more credibility and just kind of legitimizes with clients of course – but also with other peers in the industry. So it’s a great win.”
The calibre of competition across each category is abundantly clear, with some of the mortgage industry’s best-known faces contending for the ultimate honours – and recognition as the standout performer in their individual field.
