Each year, Mortgage Executive Magazine recognizes mortgage executives that have built their companies and serve their clients and employees through service, dedication, and hard work. The winning executives were asked to provide their insights on the most significant opportunities and challenges in the mortgage industry today.

“The biggest challenge is managing the cost to produce, while growing your company and still delivering ‘wow’ service,” said Silverman. “The biggest opportunities depend on your model, but we can all benefit from improved efficiencies in the loan process through automation, and utilizing new technologies to change the way steps in the process flow through the system.”
