On May 1, we come together to celebrate the very best in Canada’s mortgage industry—professionals who have not only navigated a year of change but have thrived, adapted, and led the way. In 2024, the mortgage landscape has been shaped by shifting interest rates, new regulations, and ongoing affordability challenges. The Bank of Canada’s rate cuts brought relief to many, yet homebuyers and lenders alike have had to rethink their strategies in an evolving market. Meanwhile, new government policies—like extending 30-year amortizations for first-time buyers and increasing the insured mortgage cap—are reshaping the path to homeownership. Through all this, the leaders, brokers, lenders, and innovators we honor tonight have risen to the occasion. They’ve helped Canadians navigate uncertainty, provided expert guidance, and set new standards for excellence. The Canadian Mortgage Awards are a tribute to their expertise, commitment, and forward-thinking spirit. To all the nominees and winners—this is your night. Congratulations, and thank you for shaping the future of mortgage in Canada.

ENTERTAINMENT
An opening cocktail party offered one and all the opportunity to network on a grand scale, ahead of the much-anticipated main event. Then the sparkling centrepiece of the evening: the breathtaking live awards gala, expertly hosted by comedian, author and broadcaster Dominic Holland. A roll call of hugely deserving winners picked up trophies for categories such as Broker of the Year, The Rising Star (Broker or Distributor), and of course the exclusive and hugely coveted Lifetime Achievement Award. “I’m amazed, I’m really shocked to be honest,” exclaimed an over-the-moon Dale Jannels, from One Mortgage System, who picked up the award for Innovator Champion of the Year. “It’s a very competitive market that we’re in, especially in innovation and tech – it’s really moving massive strides in the industry at the moment, so yes, really chuffed.” Just as excited was Gindy Mathoon, from Create Finance, the winner of Broker of the Year (Individual). “I am absolutely delighted,” he enthused. “It’s a nice achievement.” As the wine flowed and guests enjoyed a sumptuous dinner, the atmosphere in the room was one of sheer excitement, as the awards were presented with the flourish one would expect on such a special, prestigious occasion. Scott Burman, from Pure Retirement collected the award for Later Life Lender of the Year. “The key to success is every single day we take pride in how we service our brokers,” Burman considered, “and take a genuine interest in the customer journey, to support them to realise their retirement dreams.” It was a fantastic night too for Heather Cara, from BM Solutions, who collected the award for Rising Star (Lenders and Service Providers). “I’m proud of what I’ve achieved in this role,” Cara shared. “I think the key to my success has been forging connections around the industry to try to make a difference.” The winner of the GI/Protection Provider went to Uinsure, with a thrilled Cameron Parsons stepping up to accept the honour. “Honestly it feels incredible, I think the team has been working really hard this year,” he told Mortgage Introducer as he came off stage. “It feels good!” There was similar elation for Howard Levy, from SPF Private Clients, which scooped The Together Award for Bridging Broker of the Year. “To win this award, I am so delighted to actually get this for the bridging team, which has gone from strength to strength over the years,” he beamed. “So thank you so much to Together and everyone who voted for ourselves.” James Briggs, from sponsor Together, added: “Sponsoring this award, for Together, was really important. It’s testimony to their hard work, dedication and constant conquest to find the right solution for clients.” Recognising the best of the best is at the heart of our inspiring, annual spectacle, as well as shining a bright light on the sector as a whole. And as the crowds of delighted awards attendees took to the dance floor to while away the final few hours of a truly memorable event, the Mortgage Introducer Awards yet again confirmed its place as the premier event in the industry’s calendar.
Scores of the brightest and best talent in the profession descended on the lavish setting of the Royal Lancaster in London in the last week of November, to celebrate not only the finest people working in mortgages today, but also an industry that is beloved by the many who are proud to call it their own. And so it was that the Mortgage Introducer Awards dazzled all comers again, as the corks popped on dozens of bottles of celebratory fizz, guests wowed each other by wearing their most impressive party wear and the venue buzzed with the excited chatter of crowds of professionals meeting together to enjoy the company of colleagues, old and new.
It’s renowned as one of the mortgage industry’s key events of the year – arguably the biggest – and the Mortgage Introducer Awards certainly lived up to its reputation in 2023.

We have changed the way lending is done in this country and changed countless lives along the way. Home Trust began in 1977 with a goal to help all Canadians achieve their goals. We have grown to become a leading financial services institution in Canada, but that’s not what matters most to us. What matters is the mortgage broker who was able to help someone who wouldn’t otherwise qualify for a mortgage to purchase their first home. Or the business for self customer who was able to expand their operations. Or the newcomer to Canada with big dreams of building a new life. The stories of our customers — those who turn to us, who put their hopes in us, who rely on us every day to find a way forward — are our motivation to succeed.
