For the third year in a row, HousingWire editorial will recognize the mortgage industry’s Rising Stars.

HousingWire’s 2016 Rising Stars award program recognizes the next generation of leaders in lending, servicing, investments, and real estate — those younger leaders already making their mark on the industry.

If you know a rising star who is under 40 and making an impact — and it could even be you — please complete the nomination process.

Last year we honored our Rising Stars and placed one of the winners, Matt Barba the CEO of real estate site creator Placester, on the cover of the magazine.

Check it out, neat right?

What's more, we’ll also give the award winners some plush design treatment in the June 2016 issue.

Here’s a screenshot of that opener, taken from the digital flipbook:
