2015 Most Powerful Mortgage Banking/Brokerage Firms
Dear Colleague, Commercial Property Executive and Multi­Housing News proudly invite you to participate in our 2015 survey of the Most Powerful Mortgage Banking/Brokerage Firms. The ranking will appear in the February 2015 issues of our magazines and will be determined on a number of factors, including commercial mortgage production volumes, the number of commercial property financings, maximum allowable commercial loan amount and standard equity loan­to­value ratio requirements—all of which will be gathered from the following questionnaire. For the industry to be properly reflected, and for your firm to receive the best ranking possible, it is crucial that you complete the survey as thoroughly and accurately as possible and submit your responses by Wednesday, November 26, 2014. If you have any questions during the survey period, please contact Mike Ratliff at 212.977.0041 x3407 or [email protected]; or Robin Nathanson at 480­663­1149 x2402.
