This month, National Mortgage Professional Magazine features its “Most Connected Mortgage Professionals of 2023.” They are the top industry professionals selected by editors for their participation in the world of social media.

The winners were chosen in part based on the nominations we received and focused on these social media platforms: Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram. Winners were not selected based just on their numbers.

To be considered for a Gold Level Connection, a nominee must be among the top three of the categories; Silver Level Connection in two; and Bronze Level Connection in one. None of the nominees were among the top in all four platforms.

All information was supplied by the nominees and reviewed by magazine staff. Social media stats are as of 5/15/2023.

All honorees are listed alphabetically by last name within each category.
