Mortgage Professionals Nomination: Methodology & Disclaimers (M&D)
Summary. DataJoe Research is a software and research company specializing in data collection and verification, and conducts various nominations across the United States on behalf of publishers. To create the list, the magazine contracted DataJoe Research to facilitate an online peer-voting process in which both real estate agents and mortgage professionals could nominate their most esteemed mortgage peers for inclusion in the list. DataJoe also invited readers to nominate professionals who exemplified excellent service. DataJoe then tallied the votes and generated a list of winners. Finally, DataJoe presented the tallied result to the magazine for its final review and adjustments.
Final note. We recognize that there are many good mortgage professionals who are not shown in this representative list. This is only a sampling of the huge array of talented professionals within the region. Inclusion in the list is based on the opinions of responding mortgage professionals in the region. We take time and energy to ensure fair voting, although we understand that the results of this survey nomination are not an objective metric. We certainly do not discount the fact that many, many good and effective mortgage professionals may not appear on the list.
