First Foundation President Joins High-Performance Mortgage Brokers on Top 50 Brokers List

Edmonton, Alberta, August 16, 2010 - Canadian Mortgage Professional (CMP) magazine released its Top 50 Brokers List. Gordon McCallum, founder and current president of Edmonton and Calgary mortgage brokerage First Foundation, was recognized for his performance and dedication with a seventeenth-place spot.

"I'm honoured to be included on the same list as some of my heroes in the mortgage industry," says McCallum. "My team and I work really hard to serve our clients, and our biggest reward is their satisfaction, but this is a nice bit of recognition for our efforts." Since the company first started, McCallum and his team have always put their clients' needs first. Driven by an honest desire to help Canadians learn about available mortgage and financial services, own real estate and other valuable assets, save money, grow their net worth, and protect their assets, First Foundation continues to help clients achieve their goals today through its vast array of financial and mortgage services.

To compile its third annual Top 50 Brokers List, CMP collected voluntary submissions from mortgage brokers across Canada of the total individual volume funded for 2009. Since the survey is voluntary, the final list is missing numerous leading brokers (a.k.a., major producers); however, it remains accurate in highlighting the outstanding production achieved by those mortgage brokers on the list.

McCallum is proud to join the ranks of some of the highest-performing mortgage brokers in Canada and humbly acknowledges his team's role in his success. "I want to thank my staff and my marketing team for helping me to achieve this Top 50 designation for the third year in a row, and I congratulate the other Top 50 finalists on their accomplishments." The top three brokers on the list included Calum Ross of Mortgage Centre (Toronto), Jim Tourloukis of Advent Mortgages (Unionville), and Paul Gazzola of Mortgage Architects (Guelph).
