"To finish as high as we did in the mortgage profession that has seen more than 180 companies close its doors is a tribute to our people's commitment to fair business practices, dedication to doing their jobs to the best of their ability and beyond, and to their undying accountability to customers and industry partners such as builders and realtors.
